Automatic MCACC (Expert)
If your setup requires more detailed settings than those
provided in Automatically setting up for surround sound
(Auto MCACC & Full Band Phase Control) on page 42, you
can customize your setup options below. You can
calibrate your system differently for up to six different
MCACC presets
1
, which are useful if you have different
listening positions depending on the type of source (for
example, watching movies from a sofa, or playing a video
game close to the TV).
2
Important
•Make sure the microphone/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.

CAUTION
The test tones used in the Auto MCACC Setup are
output at high volume.

& S-Wave and Full Band Phase Ctrl.
EQ Type (only available when the Auto MCACC
Menu above is EQ Pro & S-Wave) – This determines
how the frequency balance is adjusted.
After a single calibration is performed, each of the
following three correction curves can be stored
separately in the MCACC memory. SYMMETRY (default)
implements symmetric correction for each pair of left
and right speakers to flatten the frequency-amplitude
characteristics. ALL CH ADJ is a ‘flat’ setting where all
the speakers are set individually so no special weighting
is given to any one channel. FRONT ALIGN
6
sets all
speakers in accordance with the front speaker settings
(no equalization is applied to the front left and right
channels).
THX Speaker (only available when the Auto MCACC
Menu above is ALL or Speaker Setting) – Select YES
if you are using THX speakers (set all speakers to
SMALL), otherwise leave it set to NO.
STAND.WAVE Multi-Point (only available when the
Auto MCACC Menu above is EQ Pro & S-Wave) – In
addition to measurements at the listening position,
you can use two more reference points for which test
tones will be analyzed for standing waves. This is
useful if you want to get a balanced ‘flat’ calibration
for several seating positions in your listening area.
7
Place the microphone at the reference point
indicated on-screen and note the last microphone
placement will be at your main listening position:
Note
1 These are stored in memory and referred to as MEMORY1 to MEMORY6 until you rename them in Data Management on page 106.
2 You may also want to have separate calibration settings for the same listening position, depending on how you’re using your system.
3Except in cases where you are only adjusting one parameter (i.e. channel level) from the Auto MCACC menu (step 2).
