Automatic MCACC (Expert)

If your setup requires more detailed settings than those provided in Automatically setting up for surround sound (Auto MCACC) on page 37, you can customize your setup options below. You can calibrate your system differently for up to six different MCACC presets1, which are useful if you have different listening positions depending on the type of source (for example, watching movies from a sofa, or playing a video game close to the TV).2

Important

Make sure the microphone/speakers are not moved during the Auto MCACC Setup.

Using the Auto MCACC Setup will

overwrite any existing settings for the MCACC preset you select.3

The screen saver will automatically appear after five minutes of inactivity.

CAUTION

The test tones used in the Auto MCACC Setup are output at high volume.
