Again, try to be as quiet as possible while this is happening. It may take 3 to 7 minutes.

•If you selected a STAND.WAVE Multi- Point setup (in step 2), you will be asked to place the mic at the 2nd and 3rd reference points before finally placing it at your main listening position.

9The Auto MCACC Setup procedure is completed and the Advanced MCACC menu reappears automatically.

The settings made in the Auto MCACC Setup should give you excellent surround sound from your system, but it is also possible to adjust these settings manually using the Manual MCACC setup menu (starting below) or

Manual SP Setup menu (starting on page 94).1

You can also choose to view the settings by selecting individual parameters from the MCACC Data Check screen:

•Speaker Setting – The size and number of speakers you’ve connected (see page 95 for more on this)

•Channel Level – The overall balance of your speaker system (see page 83 or 96 for more on this)

•Speaker Distance – The distance of your

speakers from the listening position (see page 83 or 97 for more on this)2

•Standing Wave – Filter settings to control lower ‘boomy’ frequencies (see page 85 for more on this)

•Acoustic Cal EQ – Adjustments to the frequency balance of your speaker system based on the acoustic characteristics of your room (see page 85 for more on this)

Press RETURN after you have finished checking each screen. When you’re finished, select RETURN to go back to the HOME MENU.

Be sure to disconnect the microphone from this receiver upon completion of the Auto MCACC Setup.

Note

1 • Depending on the characteristics of your room, sometimes identical speakers with cone sizes of around 12 cm (5 inches) will end up with different size settings. You can correct the setting manually using the Manual speaker setup on page 94.

•The subwoofer distance setting may be farther than the actual distance from the listening position. This setting should be accurate (taking delay and room characteristics into account) and generally does not need to be changed.

•If Auto MCACC Setup measurement results are incorrect due to the interaction of the speakers and viewing environment, we recommend adjusting the settings manually.

2 Since the distance measurements have been set according to the sound characteristics of your speakers, there are cases where (for optimal surround sound) the actual distance may differ from the speaker distance setting.
