Automatically setting up for
surround sound (MCACC)
VSX-817 model only
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.
Important
• The Auto MCACC Setup will overwrite any
existing speaker settings you’ve made.
• Make sure the headphones are unplugged.
Caution
• The test tones used in the Auto MCACC
Setup are output at high volume.
1 Connect the microphone to the MCACC/
AUDIO IN jack on the front panel.
Make sure there are no obstacles between the
speakers and the microphone.
Push down on the
PUSH OPEN tab to access
the MCACC/AUDIO IN jack.
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.
2 If the receiver is off, press  RECEIVER to
turn the power on.
3 If you have a subwoofer, turn it on.
4 Press RECEIVER on the remote control,
then press the SETUP button.
• Press SETUP again at any time to exit the
System Setup menu. 1
5 Select ‘A. MCACC’ from the System Setup
menu then press ENTER.
Try to be as quiet as possible after pressing
ENTER. The system outputs a series of test
tones to establish the ambient noise level.
If the noise level is too high, NOISY! blinks in
the display for five seconds. To exit and check
the noise levels again, press
SETUP (see the
notes about ambient noise below) or press
ENTER when you’re prompted to RETRY?.
• Do not adjust the volume during the test
tones. This may result in incorrect speaker
settings.
The system now checks the microphone and
your speaker setup.
