Making receiver settings from the
System Setup menu

The following section shows you how to make detailed

Automatic MCACC (Expert)

If your setup requires more detailed settings than those
provided in Automatically setting up for surround sound
(Auto MCACC)
on page 9, you can customize your setup
options below. You can calibrate your system differently
for up to six different MCACC presets

, which are useful

if you have different listening positions depending on the
type of source (for example, watching movies from a sofa,
or playing a video game close to the TV).

Important

• Make sure the microphone/speakers are not moved

during the Auto MCACC Setup.

• Using the Auto MCACC Setup will overwrite any

existing settings for the MCACC preset you select.

5

• The screen saver will automatically appear after three

minutes of inactivity.

Note

1 Make sure not to switch off the power when using the System Setup menu.
2 • Note that when editing items in the Manual MCACC menu, you will need to first specify the MCACC preset you want to adjust by pressing MCACC
before pressing SETUP

.

• The OSD will not appear if you have connected your TV using the COMPONENT VIDEO or S-VIDEO MONITOR OUT. Use HDMI or composite

connections.

(page 58), you can’t use the System Setup menu.
