Basic Setup
Canceling the Auto Power Down
When this receiver is not used over a period of several hours,
it will power down automatically. The automatic power-off
timer is set to six hours under factory settings, and the timing
can be changed or the power-off function switched off
altogether. For details, see
The Auto Power Down menu
on
page 30.
Canceling the demo display
The display on the front panel shows various information
(demo displays) when the receiver is not operating.
You can turn off the demo display. For details, see
The FL
Demo Mode menu
on page 30.
• The demo mode is canceled automatically when the Auto
MCACC setup is performed (see below).
Automatically setting up for surround sound
(MCACC)
The Auto Multi-Channel Acoustic Calibration (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.
CAUTION
• The test tones used in the Auto MCACC setup are output
at high volume.
Important
• The OSD will not appear if you have connected using the
HDMI output to your TV. Use composite connections for
Auto MCACC setup.
• The Auto MCACC setup will overwrite any existing
speaker settings you’ve made.
• If you connected either the surround back speaker or the
front height speaker, make sure that the Pre Out setting
is correctly set before performing the Auto MCACC setup
(see page 30). (Here is an explanation using the OSD
screen for a surround back speaker connection.)
1
Switch on the receiver and your TV.
2
Switch the TV input to the input that connects this
receiver to the TV through the corresponding composite
cable.
3
Connect the microphone to the MCACC SETUP MIC 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.
4
Press
on the remote control, then press the
HOME MENU button.
The Home Menu appears on your TV. Use

and
ENTER
on the remote control to navigate through the screens
and select menu items. Press
RETURN
to exit the current
menu.
• Press
HOME MENU
at any time to exit the Home Menu.
If you cancel the Auto MCACC setup at any time, the
receiver automatically exits and no settings will be made.

of inactivity.
