• 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.

• See below for notes regarding background noise and

other possible interference.

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.

Confirm the speaker configuration.

The configuration shown on-screen should reflect the

actual speakers you have.

Re tu rn

• 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

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.

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, and Acoustic Calibration EQ.

Again, try to be as quiet as possible while this is

happening. It may take 1 to 3 minutes.

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 32).

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 32.

• 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.
