6 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.
• 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 40) and verifying the
mic connection. If there doesn't seem to be
a problem, you can simply select GO NEXT
and continue.
7 If necessary, confirm the speaker
configuration in the GUI screen.
The configuration shown on-screen should
reflect the actual speakers you have.
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 8.
• If you see an ERR message (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 continue.
Note
1 Do not adjust the volume during the test tones. This may result in incorrect speaker settings.
2 This screen is only shown if you selected ALL or Speaker Setting from the Auto MCACC menu.
3 If the speaker is not pointed to the microphone (listening position) or when using speakers that affect the phase
(dipole speakers, reflective speakers, etc.), Reverse Phase may be displayed even if the speakers are properly
connected.
4 • Depending on the characteristics of your room, sometimes identical speakers with cone sizes of around 12 cm (5
inches) will end up with different size settings. You can correct the setting manually using the Manual speaker setup
on page 99.
• 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 Auto MCACC Setup measurement results are incorrect due to the interaction of the speakers and viewing
environment, we recommend adjusting the settings manually.

Calibration EQ.
Again, try to be as quiet as possible while this
is happening. It may take 3 to 7 minutes.
• If you selected a STAND.WAVE Multi-P
setup (in step 2), you will be asked to place
the mic at the 2nd and 3rd reference points
before finally placing it at your main
listening position.
9 The Auto MCACC Setup procedure is
completed and the Advanced MCACC menu
reappears automatically.
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 Manual
MCACC setup menu (starting below) or
Manual SP Setup menu (starting on
page 99).
If the connections were wrong, turn off
continue.
