Renaming MCACC presets

If you have several different MCACC presets that you’re using, you may want to rename them for easier identification.

1Select ‘Memory Rename’ from the Data Management setup menu.

4.Data Management				4c.Memory Rename
	a.MCACC	Data	Check	MCACC	Position		Rename
	b.MCACC	Data	Copy	M1	[				]
	c.Memory	Rename				MEMORY	1
	d.Memory	Clear		M2	[	MEMORY	2		]
				M3	[ MEMORY		3	]
				M4	[ MEMORY		4	]
				M5	[ MEMORY		5	]
				M6	[ MEMORY		6	]
			:Return					:Finish

2Select the MCACC preset you want to rename, then

select an appropriate preset name.

Use / to select the preset, then / to select a preset name.

3Repeat for as many MCACC presets as necessary, then press RETURN when you're finished.

You will return to the Data Management setup menu.

Clearing MCACC presets

If you are no longer using one of the MCACC presets stored in memory, you can choose to clear the calibration settings of that preset.

1Select ‘Memory Clear’ from the Data Management setup menu.

4.Data Management				4d.Memory Clear
	a.MCACC	Data	Check
	b.MCACC	Data	Copy
	c.Memory	Rename		Clear
	d.Memory	Clear			M1. MEMORY 1
				Start Clear		[Cancel]
			:Return			:Cancel

2Select the MCACC preset you want to clear. Make sure you don’t clear an MCACC preset you’re currently using (this can’t be undone).

3Select ‘Clear’ to confirm and clear the preset. Clear Complete! shows in the OSD to confirm the MCACC preset has been cleared, then you automatically return to the Data Management setup menu.

These settings are designed to customize your system, but if you’re satisfied with the settings made in Automatically setting up for surround sound (Auto MCACC) on page 8, it isn’t necessary to make all of these settings.

Caution

• The test tones used in the System Setup are output at high volume.

1 Select ‘Manual SP Setup’ then press ENTER.

2 Select the setting you want to adjust.

If you are doing this for the first time, you may want to adjust these settings in order:

•Speaker Setting – Specify the size and number of speakers you’ve connected (see below).

•Channel Level – Adjust the overall balance of your speaker system (page 47).

•Speaker Distance – Specify the distance of your speakers from the listening position (page 48).

•X-Curve– Adjust the tonal balance of your speaker system for movie soundtracks (page 48).

•THX Audio Setting – Specify whether you are using a THX speaker setup (page 48).

3Make the adjustments necessary for each setting, pressing RETURN to confirm after each screen.

Speaker Setting

Use this setting to specify your speaker configuration (size, number of speakers and crossover frequency). It is a good idea to make sure that the settings made in Automatically setting up for surround sound (Auto

MCACC) on page 8 are correct.1 Note that this setting applies to all MCACC presets, and cannot be set independently.

Manual speaker setup

This receiver allows you to make detailed settings to optimize the surround sound performance. You only need to make these settings once (unless you change the placement of your current speaker system or add new speakers).

1Select ‘Speaker Setting’ from the Manual SP Setup menu.

5.Manual SP		Setup	5a.Speaker		Setting

	a.Speaker	Setting
