Basic Setup
Automatically setting up for surround sound
(MCACC)
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.
CAUTION
•
The test tones used in the Auto MCACC setup are output at
high volume.
Important
•
The OSD will not appear if you have connected using the
composite output to your TV. Use HDMI connection for
Auto MCACC setup.
•
The Auto MCACC setup will overwrite any existing speaker
settings you’ve made.
•
Before using the Auto MCACC setup, the NETRADIO,
PANDORA, M.SERVER, FAVORITE, iPod/USB or
ADAPTER input should not be selected as an input source.
•
VSX-1023 only: When both the surround back speaker and
the front height speaker are connected, conduct Auto
MCACC setup twice: once with the Speaker System setting
is in Surr.Back and once with the Speaker System setting
is in Height. (There is no need to conduct Auto MCACC
setup every time the Speaker System setting is changed.)
