The System Setup menu
Making receiver settings from the
System Setup menu
The following section shows you how to make detailed
settings to specify how you’re using the receiver (for
example, if you want to set up two speaker systems in
separate rooms), and also explains how to fine-tune
individual speaker system settings to your liking.
1 Switch on the receiver and your TV.
Use the  RECEIVER button to switch on. 1
• If headphones are connected to the receiver,
disconnect them.
2 Press RECEIVER on the remote control, then press
SETUP. 2
An on-screen display (OSD) appears on your TV. Use /
// and ENTER to navigate through the screens
and select menu items. Press
RETURN to confirm and
exit the current menu.
• Press SETUP at any time to exit the System Setup
menu.
3 Select the setting you want to adjust.
• Auto MCACC – See Automatically setting up for
surround sound (Auto MCACC) on page 9 for a quick
and effective automatic surround setup. See
Automatic MCACC (Expert) below for a more detailed
setup.
• Surround Back System – Specifies how you are
using your surround back speakers (see
Surround
back speaker setting on page 41).
• Manual MCACC – Fine tunes your speaker settings
and customize the Acoustic Calibration EQ (see
Manual MCACC setup on page 41).
• Data Management – Checks your MCACC presets
and manages them through copying, renaming or
deleting (see
Data Management on page 46).
• Manual SP Setup – Specifies the size, number,
distance and overall balance of the speakers you’ve
connected (see
Manual speaker setup on page 47).
• Input Setup – Specifies what you’ve connected to
the digital, HDMI and component video inputs (see
The Input Setup menu on page 65).
• Other Setup – Makes customized settings to reflect
how you are using the receiver (see
The Other Setup
menu on page 66).
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 3 , 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.
• You can’t use the System Setup menu when the iPod USB input source is selected (in either the main or sub zone). When you set ZONE 2 to ON
(page 58), you can’t use the System Setup menu.

CUSTOM setup screen (step 2).
