Select Normal (Surround back), Speaker B,
Front Bi-Amp or ZONE 2 for the Surr Back
System setting according to connections to
the surround back speaker terminals.
4 Follow the instructions on-screen.
Make sure the microphone is connected, and if
you’re using a subwoofer, make sure it is switched
on and set to a comfortable volume level.
5 Wait for the test tones to finish, then
confirm the speaker configuration in the GUI
screen.
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.

If no operations are performed for 10 seconds
while the speaker configuration check screen
is being displayed, the Auto MCACC Setup will
resume automatically. In this case, you don’t
need to select ‘
OK’ and press ENTER in step 6.
• With error messages (such as Too much
ambient noise! or Check microphone.)
select
RETRY after checking for ambient
noise (see Problems when using the Auto
MCACC Setup below) and verifying the mic
connection. If there doesn’t seem to be a
problem, you can simply select
GO NEXT
and continue.
The configuration shown on-screen should
reflect the actual speakers you have.
• If you see an ERR message (or the speaker
configuration displayed isn’t correct), there
may be a problem with the speaker
connection.
If selecting
RETRY doesn’t work, turn off
the power and check the speaker
connections. If there doesn’t seem to be a
problem, you can simply use
/ to select
the speaker and
/ to change the
setting and continue.
• If Reverse Phase is displayed, the
speaker’s wiring (+ and –) may be inverted.
Check the speaker connections.

If the connections were wrong, turn off the
power, disconnect the power cable, then
reconnect properly. After this, perform the
Full Auto MCACC procedure again.
6 Make sure ‘OK’ is selected, then press
ENTER.
A progress report is displayed on-screen while
the receiver outputs more test tones to
determine the optimum receiver settings for
Channel Level, Speaker Distance, Standing
Wave and Acoustic Cal EQ.
Again, try to be as quiet as possible while this
is happening. It may take 3 to 10 minutes.
Note
1 Do not adjust the volume during the test tones. This may result in incorrect speaker settings.

(dipole speakers, reflective speakers, etc.), Reverse Phase may be displayed even if the speakers are properly
connected. If this happens, select GO NEXT and continue.
