seconds, and the

ENTER button is not pressed

in Step 7, the Auto MCACC Setup will start
again from the beginning.

The Auto MCACC checks the subwoofer level.

• If the subwoofer output level is too high/

low,

the display for five seconds. To exit and
check your subwoofer output level, press
SETUP or simply press ENTER when you’re
prompted to

RETRY?.

The receiver outputs more test tones to
determine the optimum receiver settings for
speaker setting, channel level, speaker
distance, and Acoustic Calibration EQ.

The Auto MCACC Setup has finished!

The front panel MCACC indicator lights to
show the surround settings are complete.

The settings made in the Auto MCACC Setup
should give you excellent surround sound
from your system, but it is also possible to
adjust these settings manually using the

System Setup menu (starting on page 33).

based on the acoustic characteristics of
your room (see page 35 for more on this)

When you’re finished, select ‘SKIP?’ to

go back to the System Setup menu.

• Remember to disconnect the microphone

after completing the Auto MCACC Setup.

Other problems during Auto MCACC

If the room environment is not optimal for the
Auto MCACC Setup (too much background
noise, echo off the walls, obstacles blocking
the speakers from the microphone) the final
settings may be incorrect. Check for household
appliances (air conditioner, fridge, fan, etc.),
that may be affecting the environment and

switch them off if necessary.

2

If there are any

instructions showing in the front panel display,
please follow them.

Note

1 • Depending on the characteristics of your room, sometimes identical speakers with cone sizes of around 12 cm will end up
with different size settings. You can correct the setting manually using the Speaker setting on page 37.

• The subwoofer distance setting may be farther than the actual distance from the listening position. This setting should be

accurate (taking delay and room characteristics into account) and generally does not need to be changed.
2 Some older TVs may interfere with operation of the mic. You may want to switch off your TV during the Auto MCACC Setup.
