Press

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.

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.

7

Follow the instructions on-screen.

Make sure the microphone is connected.

Make sure the subwoofer is on and the volume is

turned up.

When using surround back speakers, turn on the

power to the amplifier to which the surround back

speakers are connected, and adjust the sound level to

the desired level (VSX-S510 only).

8

Wait for the test tones to finish.
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.

For correct speaker settings, do not adjust the volume

during the test tones.

9

Confirm the speaker configuration.
The configuration shown on-screen should reflect the

actual speakers you have.

With error messages (such as Too much ambient
noise

) select RETRY after checking for ambient noise

(see

Other problems when using the Auto MCACC

setup below

).

If the speaker configuration displayed isn’t correct, use

/

to select the speaker and

/

to change the

setting. When you’re finished, go to the next step.
If you see an error message (ERR) in the right side

column, there may be a problem with the speaker

connection. If selecting RETRY doesn’t fix the problem,

turn off the power and check the speaker connections.

10

Make sure ‘OK’ is selected, then press

ENTER

.

If the screen in step 9 is left untouched for 10 seconds

and

ENTER

is not pressed in step 10, the Auto MCACC

setup will start automatically as shown.

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, X.Over, and Acoustic Calibration EQ.
Again, try to be as quiet as possible while this is

happening. It may take 1 to 3 minutes.

11

The Auto MCACC setup has finished! You return to the
Home Menu.
The settings made in the Auto MCACC setup should give

you excellent surround sound from your system, but it is

also possible to adjust these settings manually using the

Home Menu (starting on

page 51

).

Note

Depending on the characteristics of your room, sometimes

identical speakers with cone sizes of around 12 cm will end

up with different size settings. You can correct the setting

manually using the

Speaker Setting on page 51

.

The subwoofer distance setting may be farther than the

actual distance from the listening position. This setting

should be accurate (taking delay and room characteristics

into account) and generally does not need to be changed.
