Manual MCACC setup
You can use the settings in the Manual
MCACC setup menu to make detailed
adjustments when you’re more familiar with
the system. Before making these settings, you
should have already completed
Automatically
setting up for surround sound (Auto MCACC) on
page 37.
You only need to make these settings once
(unless you change the placement of your
current speaker system or add new speakers).
CAUTION
• The test tones used in the Manual MCACC
setup are output at high volume.
Important
• You will need to first specify the MCACC
preset you want to adjust by pressing
MCACC before pressing HOME MENU
(step 2 in
Making receiver settings from the
Advanced MCACC menu on page 77).
• For some of the settings below, you’ll have
to connect the setup microphone to the
front panel and place it about ear level at
your normal listening position. Press
HOME MENU to display the HOME MENU
before you connect the microphone to this
receiver. If the microphone is connected
while the
HOME MENU is not being
displayed, the display will change to the
Full Auto MCACC under Advanced
MCACC.
• See Problems when using the Auto MCACC
Setup on page 39 for notes regarding high
background noise levels and other possible
interference.
• If you’re using a subwoofer, switch it on
and turn up the volume to the middle
position.
1 Select ‘Manual MCACC’ from the
Advanced MCACC menu.
See
Making receiver settings from the Advanced
MCACC menu on page 77 if you’re not already
at this screen.
2 Select the setting you want to adjust.
If you’re doing this for the first time, you might
want to make these settings in order.
• Fine Channel Level – Make fine
adjustments to the overall balance of your
speaker system (see
Fine Channel Level on
page 83).
• Fine SP Distance – Make precise delay
settings for your speaker system (see
Fine
Speaker Distance on page 83).
• Standing Wave – Control overly resonant
low frequencies in your listening room (see
Standing Wave on page 85).
The last two settings are specifically for
customizing the parameters explained in
Acoustic Calibration EQ Adjust on page 85:
• EQ Adjust – Manually adjust the frequency
balance of your speaker system while
listening to test tones (see
Acoustic
Calibration EQ Adjust on page 85).
• EQ Professional – Calibrate your system
based on the direct sound coming from the
speakers and make detailed settings
according to your room’s reverb
characteristics (see
Acoustic Calibration
EQ Professional on page 86).
