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.
Note
1 • When data measurement is taken, the reverb characteristics data (both before- and after-calibration) that this
receiver had been storing will be overwritten. If you want to save the reverb characteristics data before measuring,
connect a USB memory device to this receiver and transfer the data.
• When measurement is taken of reverb characteristics data other than SYMMETRY, the data are not measured after
the correction. If you will need to measure after correcting data, take the measurement using the EQ Professional
menu in the Manual MCACC setup (page 94).
2 If you are planning on bi-amping your front speakers, or setting up a separate speaker system in another room, read
through Speaker system setting on page 102 and make sure to connect your speakers as necessary before continuing
to step 4.
3 Do not adjust the volume during the test tones. This may result in incorrect speaker settings.

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 on page 43) and verifying the
mic connection. If there doesn't seem to be
a problem, you can simply select GO NEXT
and continue.
