setup option:
• Front surround setup – This setup is ideal
when rear surround speaker placement
isn't possible or you want to avoid running
long speaker cables in your listening area.
The placement of speakers shown below
allows for the creation of virtual surround
sound.

Using the Auto MCACC setup for
optimal surround sound
The Multichannel Acoustic Calibration
(MCACC) system measures the acoustic
characteristics of your listening area, taking
into account ambient noise and testing for
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 (Acoustic Calibration
EQ) for your particular room.
Important
• These test tones are loud; however, do not
turn the volume down during setup as this
may result in a sub-optimal calibration.
