Automatically setting up for surround
sound (Auto MCACC)
The Auto MCACC Setup measures the acoustic
characteristics of your listening area, taking into account
ambient noise, speaker connection and speaker size, 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 42.
Important
•Make sure the microphone and speakers are not
moved during the Auto MCACC Setup.
• Using the Auto MCACC Setup will overwrite a
n
y
existing settings for the MCACC preset you select.
•Before using the Auto MCACC Setup, the
headphones should be disconnected and the iPod/
USB function should not be selected as an input
function.
CAUTION
• The test tones used in the Auto MCACC Setup are
output at high volume.
1 Switch on the receiver and your TV.
Use RECEIVER to switch on.
2 Connect the microphone to the
MCACC SETUP MIC
jack on the front panel.
•Push down on the PUSH OPEN tab to access the
MCACC SETUP MIC jack.
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. If you
do not have a tripod, use some other object to install the
microphone.
