Basic Setup

Canceling the demo display

The display on the front panel shows various information (demo displays) when the receiver is not operating.

You can turn off the demo display. For details, see The FL Demo Mode menu on page 41.

•The demo mode is canceled automatically when the Auto MCACC setup is performed (see below).

Automatically setting up for surround sound (MCACC)

The Auto Multi-Channel Acoustic Calibration (MCACC) setup measures the acoustic characteristics of your listening area, taking into account ambient noise, speaker size and distance, and tests for both channel delay and channel level. After you have set up the microphone provided with your system, the receiver uses the information from a series of test tones to optimize the speaker settings and equalization for your particular room.

CAUTION

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

Important

•The Auto MCACC setup will overwrite any existing speaker settings you’ve made.

•Before using the Auto MCACC setup, the iPod USB input should not be selected as an input source.

•When both the surround back speaker and the front height speaker are connected, conduct Auto MCACC setup twice: once with the Speaker System setting is in Surr.Back and once with the Speaker System setting is in Height. (There is no need to conduct Auto MCACC setup every time the Speaker System setting is changed.)
