Automatically setting up for
surround sound (MCACC)
The Auto 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.
Make sure you do this before moving on to
Playing a
source
on page 13.
Important
• Make sure the microphone and speakers are not
moved during the Auto MCACC Setup.
• Using the Auto MCACC Setup will overwrite any
existing speaker settings in the receiver.
• Before using the Auto MCACC Setup the
headphones should be disconnected and

switched off.
• The receiver will automatically exit the current screen
after three minutes of inactivity.
Caution
• The test tones used in the Auto MCACC Setup are
output at high volume.
1 Switch on the receiver and your TV.
2 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.
Note that the illustration above shows the VSX-2014i
however, connection for the VSX-1014 is the same.
• Place the microphone on the supplied microphone
stand (shown above) for the best results with the
Auto MCACC Setup.
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.
3 Press RECEIVER on the remote control, then press
the SYSTEM SETUP button.
An on-screen display (OSD) appears on your TV. Use the
///
buttons and
ENTER
on the remote control to
navigate through the screens and select menu items.
Press
RETURN
to exit the current menu.
• Press
SYSTEM SETUP
at any time to exit the System
Setup menu.
4 Select ‘AUTO MCACC’ from the System Setup
menu then press ENTER.
5 Make sure ‘Normal (SB)’ is selected then press
ENTER.
• If you are planning on bi-amping your front speakers,
or setting up a separate speaker system in another
room, read through
Surround back speaker setting
on
page 38 and make sure to connect your speakers as
necessary before continuing to step 6.
