Manual MCACC speaker setup
VSX-817 model only
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) 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).
Important
• For some of the settings below, you’ll have
to connect the setup microphone to the
front panel and place it about ear level at
your normal listening position. See
Automatically setting up for surround
sound (MCACC) on page 8 if you’re unsure
how to do this. Also see Other problems
during Auto MCACC on page 9 for notes
regarding high background noise levels
and other possible interference.
• If you’re using a subwoofer, switch it on
and turn up the volume to the middle
position.
1 Select ‘M. MCACC’ from the System Setup
menu.
See Using the System Setup menu above if
you’re not already at this menu.
2 Select the setting you want to adjust.
If you’re doing this for the first time, you might
want to make these settings in order.
• CH LEVEL – Make fine adjustments to the
overall balance of your speaker system (see
Fine Channel Level below).
• SP DISTN. – Make precise delay settings
for your speaker system (see Fine Speaker
Distance on page 35).
The last five settings are specifically for
customizing the parameters explained in
Acoustic Calibration EQ on page 35:
• EQ A. SET – Measure the acoustic
characteristics of your room and
automatically adjust the frequency balance
of your speaker system (see Setting the
Acoustic Calibration EQ automatically on
page 35).
• EQ COPY – Copy Acoustic Calibration EQ
settings for manual adjustment (see
Copying your Acoustic Calibration EQ
settings on page 36).
• C1 ADJ/C2 ADJ – Make detailed manual
adjustments to your custom Acoustic
Calibration EQ settings (see Setting the
Acoustic Calibration EQ manually on
page 36).
• EQ CHECK – Check the ALL CH, F. ALIGN
and custom settings (see Checking your
Acoustic Calibration EQ settings on
page 37).
Fine Channel Level
• Default setting: 0dB (all channels)
You can achieve better surround sound by
properly adjusting the overall balance of your
speaker system. The following setting can help
you make detailed adjustments that you may
not achieve using the Automatically setting up
for surround sound (MCACC) on page 8.
1 Select ‘CH LEVEL’ from the Manual
MCACC setup menu.
You’ll hear test tones from each speaker in
turn. Since the left speaker is the main
reference speaker, the level is fixed.
Caution
• The test tones used in the System Setup
are output at high volume (the volume
increases to
–18 dB automatically).
