Again, try to be as quiet as possible while this is happening. It may take 3 to 10 minutes.

7 The Auto MCACC Setup procedure is

completed and the Home Menu menu

reappears automatically.2

The configuration shown on-screen should reflect the actual speakers you have.

If you see an ERR message (or the speaker configuration displayed isn’t correct), there may be a problem with the speaker connection.

If selecting RETRY doesn’t work, turn off the power and check the speaker

connections. If there doesn’t seem to be a problem, you can simply use /to select the speaker and / to change the setting and continue.

If Reverse Phase is displayed, the

speaker’s wiring (+ and –) may be inverted. Check the speaker connections.1

If the connections were wrong, turn off the power, disconnect the power cord, then reconnect properly. After this, perform the Full Auto MCACC procedure again.

If the connections were right, select GO NEXT and continue.

Be sure to disconnect the microphone from

this receiver upon completion of the Auto

MCACC Setup.

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 Advanced MCACC menu on page 76 or The system and the other setup on page 92.3

Note

1If the speaker is not pointed to the microphone (listening position) or when using speakers that affect the phase (dipole speakers, reflective speakers, etc.), Reverse Phase may be displayed even if the speakers are properly connected.

2You can also choose to view the settings from the MCACC Data Check screen. See Checking MCACC Data on page 88 for more on this.

3• Depending on the characteristics of your room, sometimes identical speakers with cone sizes of around 12 cm will end up with different size settings. You can correct the setting manually using the Manual speaker setup on page 93.

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.
