Home theater sound setup
Depending on the size and characteristics of
your room, you can choose to place your
speakers in one of two ways using this system:
Standard surround 5-spot setup
– This is
a standard multichannel surround sound
speaker setup for optimal 5.1 channel
home theatre sound.
Front surround 3-spot setup
– This setup
is ideal when rear surround speaker
placement isn't possible or you want to
avoid running long speaker cables in your
listening area. Use this setup together with
the Front Surround modes to take
advantage of wall and ceiling reflections
for a very realistic surround effect.
See
About the listening modes
on page 11 for
more on using the different listening modes
with each speaker setup.
Using the Auto MCACC setup for
optimal surround sound
The Multichannel Acoustic Calibration
(MCACC) system measures the acoustic
characteristics of your listening area, taking
into account ambient noise and testing for
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 (Acoustic Calibration
EQ) for your particular room.

Important
These test tones can be loud, so take care
that there is no one in the room who will be
startled by the noise.
Make sure the mic and speakers are not
moved during the MCACC setup.
To access green functions on the remote,
move the slider switch from
MAIN
to
SUB
.
1 Connect the microphone to the MCACC
MIC jack on the rear panel.
