jack on the front panel.
Make sure there are no obstacles between the speakers
and the microphone.
If you have a tripod, use it to place the microphone so that
it’s about ear level at your normal listening position.
Otherwise, place the microphone at ear level using a
table or a chair.

then select OK.
For a fully customized Auto MCACC setup, select
Option
and set the following parameters:
•
Auto Mode
– The default is
ALL
(recommended), but
you can limit the system calibration to only one
setting (to save time) if you want.
3
The available
options are
ALL
,
ALL (Keep SPsetting)
,
4
Speaker
Setting
,
Channel Level
,
Speaker Distance
,
Acoustic Cal EQ
, and
Aco Cal EQ Pro.
•
THX Speaker
(only available when the Auto Mode
above is
ALL
or
Speaker Setting
)
– Select
YES
if you
are using THX speakers (set all speakers to
SMALL
),
otherwise leave it set to
NO
.
•
EQ Type
(only available when the Auto Mode above is
Acoustic Cal EQ
or
Aco Cal EQ Pro.
)
– This
determines how the frequency balance is adjusted.
ALL CH ADJUST
(default) is a ‘flat’ setting where all
the speakers are set individually so no special
weighting is given to any one channel. Optionally,
5
FRONT ALIGN
sets all speakers in accordance with
the front speaker settings (no equalization is applied
to the front left and right channels), and
OFF
(only
available when
ALL
is selected) allows you to save
calibration settings (such as speaker distance and
channel level) with no EQ or standing wave
adjustment to your selected preset.
•
Multi-Point
(only available when the Auto Mode
above is
Acoustic Cal EQ
or
Aco Cal EQ Pro.
)
– In
addition to measurements at the listening position,
you can use two more reference points for which test
tones will be analyzed for standing waves. This is
useful if you want to get a balanced ‘flat’ calibration
for several seating positions in your listening area.
6
Place the microphone at the reference point
indicated on-screen and note
the last microphone
placement will be at your main listening position:
When you’re finished settings the options, press
RETURN
to go back to the Auto MCACC main setup.
4
Follow the instructions on-screen.
• Make sure the microphone is connected.
• If you’re using a subwoofer, it is automatically
detected every time you switch on the system. Make
sure it is on and the volume is turned up.
• See
Problems when using the Auto MCACC Setup
on
page 9 for notes regarding high background noise
levels and other possible interference.
5
Wait for the Auto MCACC Setup to finish outputting
test tones.
A progress report is displayed on-screen while the
receiver outputs test tones to determine the speakers
present in your setup. Try to be as quiet as possible while
it’s doing this.
• Do not adjust the volume during the test tones. This
may result in incorrect speaker settings.
Note
1 If you are planning on bi-amping your front speakers, or setting up a separate speaker system in another room, read through
Surround back speaker set-
ting
on page 34 and make sure to connect your speakers as necessary before continuing to step 4.
2 The six MCACC presets are used for storing surround sound settings for different listening positions. Simply choose an unused preset for now (you can
rename it later in
Data Management
on page 40).
3 The
Aco Cal EQ Pro.
measurement is also taken when
ALL
is selected. See
Professional Acoustic Calibration EQ
on page 37 for more on this.
4 The
ALL (Keep SPsetting)
option allows you to calibrate your system while leaving your current speaker setting (page 41) unchanged.
