Automatically setting up for surround
sound (Auto MCACC)
The Auto 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.
Make sure you do this before moving on to
Playing a
source
on page 11.
Important
• Make sure the microphone and speakers are not
moved during the Auto MCACC Setup.
• Using the Auto MCACC Setup will overwrite any
existing settings for the MCACC preset you select.
• Before using the Auto MCACC Setup, the
headphones should be disconnected and the
iPod
USB
,
XM
or
SIRIUS
Radio function should not be
selected as an input source.
Caution
• The test tones used in the Auto MCACC Setup are
output at high volume.
1
Switch on the receiver and your TV.
2
Connect the microphone to the MCACC SETUP MIC
jack on the front panel.
Place the microphone so that it’s about ear level at your
normal listening position (use a tripod if possible). Make
sure there are no obstacles between the speakers and
the microphone.
• Push down on the
PUSH OPEN
tab to access the
MCACC SETUP MIC
jack:
The Auto MCACC display appears once the microphone
is connected.

Follow the instructions on-screen.
Make sure the microphone is connected, and if you’re
using a subwoofer, make sure it is switched on and set to
a comfortable volume level.
5
Wait for the test tones to finish, then confirm the
speaker configuration in the OSD.
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.
5
If no operations are performed for 10 seconds while the
speaker configuration check screen is being displayed,
the Auto MCACC Setup will resume automatically. In this
case, you don’t need to select ‘
OK
’ and press
ENTER
in
step 6.
• With error messages (such as
Too much ambient
noise!
or
Check Microphone.
) select
RETRY
after
checking for ambient noise (see
Problems when
using the Auto MCACC Setup
on page 11) and
verifying the mic connection. If there doesn’t seem to
be a problem, you can simply select
GO NEXT
and
continue.

1 • You can’t use the System Setup menu in either the main or sub zone when the
iPod USB
,
XM
or
SIRIUS
Radio input source is selected. When you set
ZONE 2
to
ON
(page 62), you can’t use the System Setup menu.
• If you cancel the Auto MCACC Setup, or leave an error message for over three minutes, the screen saver will appear.
2 • 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
setting
on page 41 and make sure to connect your speakers as necessary before continuing to step 4.
• If you have THX-certified speakers, select
CUSTOM
and choose
YES
for the
THX Speaker
setting.
3 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 46).
4 Note that correction curves are saved only when set to
SYMMETRY
. Select
CUSTOM
to save other correction curves (such as
ALL CH ADJUST
and
FRONT ALIGN
). See
Automatic MCACC (Expert)
on page 38 for more on this.
5 Do not adjust the volume during the test tones. This may result in incorrect speaker settings.
