Automatically conducting optimum sound tuning (Full Auto
MCACC)
The Full Auto MCACC Setup measures the acoustic characteristics of your listening area, taking into account
ambient noise, speaker connection and speaker size, and tests for both channel delay and channel level. After
you have set up the microphone provided with your system, the receiver uses the information from a series of test
tones to optimize the speaker settings and equalization for your particular room.
Important
! Make sure the microphone and speakers are not moved during the Full Auto MCACC Setup.
! Using the Full Auto MCACC Setup will overwrite any existing settings for the MCACC preset you select.
! Before using the Full Auto MCACC Setup, the headphones should be disconnected.
! The OSD display is only displayed when the receiver's HDMI OUT 1 terminal and the TV's HDMI input are
connected with an HDMI cable. If the TV is connected with anything other than an HDMI cable, watch the front
panel display while performing the various operations and making settings.
CAUTION
