Manual MCACC setup

You can use the settings in the Manual MCACC setup menu to make detailed adjustments when you’re more familiar with the system. Before making these settings, you should have already completed Automatically setting up for surround sound (MCACC & Full Band Phase Control) on page 8.

You only need to make these settings once (unless you change the placement of your current speaker system or add new speakers).

Caution

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

Important

•You will need to first specify the MCACC preset you want to adjust by pressing MCACC before pressing SETUP (step 2 in Making receiver settings from the System Setup menu on page 37). When Manual MCACC is selected while MCACC is set to OFF, the selection screen for the MCACC memory appears. Select a memory to adjust manually.
