After placing your speakers, see Using the Auto MCACC setup for optimal surround sound below to complete your surround setup.

Using the Auto MCACC setup for optimal surround sound

The Multichannel Acoustic Calibration (MCACC) system measures the acoustic characteristics of your listening area, taking into account ambient noise and testing for 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 (Acoustic Calibration

EQ) for your particular room.2

Important

These test tones are loud; however, do not turn the volume down during setup as this may result in a sub-optimal calibration.

Note

1See Using Front Stage Surround Advance on page 16 to select a front surround mode when using this setup.

2You only need to use the Auto MCACC setup once (unless you change the placement of your speakers or your room layout).
