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.
Important
• The Auto MCACC Setup will overwrite any
existing speaker settings you’ve made.
• Before using the Auto MCACC Setup, the
iPod USB function should not be selected
as an input source.
Caution
• The test tones used in the Auto MCACC
Setup are output at high volume.
1 Switch on the receiver and your TV.
2 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.
3 Press RECEIVER on the remote control,
then press the SETUP button.
An on-screen display (OSD) appears on your
TV. Use
/// and ENTER on the remote
control to navigate through the screens and
select menu items. Press RETURN to exit the
current menu.
• Press SETUP at any time to exit the System
Setup menu.

4 Select ‘Auto MCACC’ from the System
Setup menu then press ENTER. 4
Try to be as quiet as possible after pressing
ENTER. The system outputs a series of test
tones to establish the ambient noise level.
Note
1 You may need to set your BD/DVD player to output Dolby Digital, DTS and 88.2 kHz/96 kHz PCM (2 channel) audio (see your
BD/DVD player’s manual for more on this).
2 Depending on your BD/DVD player or source disc, you may only get 2 channel sound. In this case, the listening mode must be
set to STANDARD (see Listening in surround sound on page 33 if you need to do this) if you want multichannel surround sound.
