If you have a tripod, use it to place the microphone so that
it's about ear level at your normal listening position.
Otherwise, place the microphone at ear level using a
table or a chair.
4 Follow the instructions on-screen.
• Make sure the microphone is connected.
• If you're using a subwoofer, it is automatically
detected every time you switch on the system. Make
sure it is on and the volume is turned up.
• See Problems when using the Auto MCACC Setup on
page 9 for notes regarding high background noise
levels and other possible interference.
5 Wait for the Auto MCACC Setup to finish
outputting test tones.
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.
• Do not adjust the volume during the test tones. This
may result in incorrect speaker settings.
• 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 9) and verifying
the mic connection. If there doesn't seem to be a
problem, you can simply select GO NEXT and
continue.
6 If necessary, confirm the speaker configuration in
1
the OSD.
The configuration shown on-screen should reflect the
actual speakers you have.
Note
1 This screen is only shown if you selected ALL or Speaker Setting in Custom Menu from the Auto MCACC CUSTOM menu.
2 • 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 Manual speaker setup on page 48.
• 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.

If you see an error message (ERR) in the right side
column (or the speaker configuration displayed isn't
correct), there may be a problem with the speaker
connection. If selecting RETRY doesn't work, turn off the
power and check the speaker connections. If there
doesn't seem to be a problem, you can simply use
to select the speaker and
(and number for surround back) and continue.
7 Make sure ' OK ' is selected, then press ENTER .
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.
