The display on the front panel shows various information

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.
CAUTION
• The test tones used in the Auto MCACC setup are output at
high volume.
Important
• The OSD will not appear if you have connected using the
HDMI output to your TV. Use composite connections for
Auto MCACC setup.
• The Auto MCACC setup will overwrite any existing speaker
settings you’ve made.
• Before using the Auto MCACC setup, the iPod/USB input
should not be selected as an input source.
• If you connected either the surround back speaker or the
front height speaker, make sure that the Pre Out setting is
correctly set before performing the Auto MCACC setup (see
page 33 ). (Here is an explanation using the OSD screen for
a surround back speaker connection.)
1
Switch on the receiver and your TV.
2
Switch the TV input to the input that connects this
receiver to the TV through the corresponding
composite cable.
3
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.

HOME MENU button.
The Home Menu 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 HOME MENU at any time to exit the Home
Menu. If you cancel the Auto MCACC setup at any
time, the receiver automatically exits and no settings
will be made.
• The screensaver automatically starts after three
minutes of inactivity.

Select ‘Auto MCACC’ from the Home Menu, then press
ENTER .
• Mic In! blinks when the microphone is not connected
to MCACC SETUP MIC jack.
Try to be as quiet as possible after pressing ENTER . The
system outputs a series of test tones to establish the
ambient noise level.

Follow the instructions on-screen.
• Make sure the microphone is connected.
• Make sure the subwoofer is on and the volume is
turned up.
