• 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 below) and verifying the

mic connection. If there doesn't seem to be a

problem, you can simply select GO NEXT and

continue.

The configuration shown on-screen should reflect the

actual speakers you have.

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 / to change the setting

(and number for surround back) and continue.

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, Standing Wave, Acoustic Cal EQ and Full Band

Phase Control.

Again, try to be as quiet as possible while this is

happening. It may take 3 to 7 minutes.

The Auto MCACC Setup has finished! Press RETURN

to go back to the System Setup menu.

Be sure to disconnect the microphone from this receiver

upon completion of the Auto MCACC setup.

The settings made in the Auto MCACC Setup should give

you excellent surround sound from your system, but it is

also possible to adjust these settings manually using the

System Setup menu (starting on page 39).

Note

1 If you're using the front panel display, the diagram in Listening to Surround Sound above indicates (in bold) how each speaker is displayed.

2 You can also choose to view the settings from the MCACC Data Check screen. See Automatic MCACC (Expert) on page 39 for more on this.

3 • 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 50.

• 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.

4 Make sure that the TV's video input is set to this receiver (for example, if you connected this receiver to the VIDEO 1 jacks on your TV, make sure that the

VIDEO 1 input is now selected).

5 If you need to manually switch the input signal type press SIGNAL SEL (page 31).
