Manual MCACC speaker setup

You can use the settings in the Manual MCACC
setup menu to make detailed adjustments
when you're more familiar with the system.
Before making these settings, you should have
already completed Automatically setting up for
surround sound (MCACC) on page 9.
You only need to make these settings once
(unless you change the placement of your
current speaker system or add new speakers).
Important
• For some of the settings below, you'll have
to connect the setup microphone to the
front panel and place it about ear level at
your normal listening position. See
Automatically setting up for surround
sound (MCACC) on page 9 if you're unsure
how to do this. Also see Other problems
when using the Auto MCACC Setup on
page 11 for notes regarding background
noise and other possible interference.
