4 Select Surr Back System setting, 1 select an MCACC
preset 2 , then select START. 3
Select Normal (Surround back), Speaker B, Front Bi-
Amp or ZONE 2 for the Surr Back System setting
according to connections to the surround back speaker
terminals.
5 Follow the instructions on-screen.
Make sure the microphone is connected, and if you’re
using a subwoofer, make sure it is switched on and set to
a comfortable volume level.
6 Wait for the test tones to finish, then confirm the
speaker configuration in the GUI screen.
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.

If no operations are performed for 10 seconds while the
speaker configuration check screen is being displayed,
the Auto MCACC Setup will resume automatically. In this
case, you don’t need to select ‘
OK’ and press ENTER in
step 7.
• With error messages (such as Too much ambient
noise! or Check microphone.) select RETRY after
checking for ambient noise (see
Problems when
using the Auto MCACC Setup below) and verifying the
mic connection. If there doesn’t seem to be a
problem, you can simply select
GO NEXT and
continue.
The configuration shown on-screen should reflect the
actual speakers you have.
• If you see an ERR message (or the speaker
configuration displayed isn’t correct), there may be a
problem with the speaker connection.
If selecting
RETRY doesn’t work, turn off the power
and check the speaker connections. If there doesn’t
seem to be a problem, you can simply use
/ to
select the speaker and
/ to change the setting
and continue.
• If Reverse Phase is displayed, the speaker’s wiring
(+ and –) may be inverted. Check the speaker
connections.
5
– If the connections were wrong, turn off the power,
disconnect the power cord, then reconnect properly.
After this, perform the Full Auto MCACC procedure
again.
– If the connections were right, select
GO NEXT and
continue.
7 Make sure ‘OK’ is selected, then press ENTER.
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, Standing Wave, Acoustic Cal EQ and Full Band
Phase Control.
Again, try to be as quiet as possible while this is
happening. It may take 3 to 10 minutes.
8 The Auto MCACC Setup procedure is completed and
the Home Menu menu reappears automatically. 6
Be sure to disconnect the microphone from this receiver
upon completion of the Auto MCACC Setup.
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
Advanced MCACC menu on page 106 or The system and
the other setup on page 120.

Note
1 • For details on the speaker layout and the Surr Back System setting, see Determining the speakers’ application on page 21.
• If you are planning on bi-amping your front speakers, or setting up a separate speaker system in another room, read through Surround back
speaker setting on page 121 and make sure to connect your speakers as necessary before continuing to step 5.
• If you have THX-certified speakers, select
Return, then select Auto MCACC for the THX Speaker setting. See Automatic MCACC (Expert) on
page 107 for more on this.
2 The six MCACC presets are used for storing surround sound settings for different listening positions. Simply choose an unused preset for now
(you can rename it later in Data Management on page 118).
3 Note that correction curves are saved only when set to SYMMETRY. Select Return, then select Auto MCACC to save other correction curves
(such as ALL CH ADJ and FRONT ALIGN). See Automatic MCACC (Expert) on page 107 for more on this.
4 Do not adjust the volume during the test tones. This may result in incorrect speaker settings.

5 If the speaker is not pointed to the microphone (listening position) or when using speakers that affect the phase (dipole speakers, reflective
speakers, etc.), Reverse Phase may be displayed even if the speakers are properly connected.
6 You can also choose to view the settings from the MCACC Data Check screen. See Checking MCACC Data on page 115 for more on this.
7 • 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 Manual speaker setup on page 121.
• 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.
• If Auto MCACC Setup measurement results are incorrect due to the interaction of the speakers and viewing environment, we recommend
adjusting the settings manually.
