Basic Setup
Canceling the demo display
The display on the front panel shows various information
(demo displays) when the receiver is not operating.
You can turn off the demo display. For details, see The FL
Demo Mode menu on page 41.
• The demo mode is canceled automatically when the Auto
MCACC setup is performed (see below).
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 Auto MCACC setup will overwrite any existing
speaker settings you’ve made.
• Before using the Auto MCACC setup, the iPod USB input
should not be selected as an input source.
• 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.)

Switch the TV input so that it connects to the receiver.

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.
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.

SETUP button.
The System Setup menu appears on your TV. Use ///

screens and select menu items. Press RETURN to exit the
current menu.

If you cancel the Auto MCACC setup at any time, the
receiver automatically exits and no settings will be made.
• The screensaver automatically starts after three minutes
of inactivity.

Select ‘Auto MCACC’ from the System Setup menu, then
press ENTER.
MIC IN blinks when the microphone is not connected to
MCACC SETUP MIC jack.
Try to be as quiet as possible after pressing ENTER. The
system outputs a series of test tones to establish the ambient
noise level.

Follow the instructions on-screen.
• Make sure the microphone is connected.
• Make sure the subwoofer is on and the volume is turned
up.
• When using surround back or front height speakers, turn
on the power to the amplifier to which the surround back
or front height speakers are connected, and adjust the
sound level to the desired level.
• See below for notes regarding background noise and
other possible interference.

Wait for the test tones to finish.
A progress report is displayed on-screen while the receiver
outputs test tones to determine the speakers present in your
setup. Try to be as quiet as possible while it’s doing this.
