Try to be as quiet as possible after pressing ENTER. The system
outputs a series of test tones to establish the ambient noise level.

Follow the instructions on-screen.
• Make sure the microphone is connected.
• Make sure the subwoofer is on and the volume is turned up.
• When using surround back or front height speakers, turn on
the power to the amplifier to which the surround back or front
height speakers are connected, and adjust the sound level to
the desired level.
• See below for notes regarding background noise and other
possible interference.
7
Wait for the test tones to finish.
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)
select RETRY after checking for ambient noise (see Other
problems when using the Auto MCACC setup below).
If the speaker configuration displayed isn't correct, use / to
select the speaker and / to change the setting. When you're

If you see an error message (ERR) in the right side column, there
may be a problem with the speaker connection. If selecting RETRY
doesn't fix the problem, turn off the power and check the speaker
connections.

Make sure 'OK' is selected, then press ENTER.
If the screen in step 7 is left untouched for 10 seconds and ENTER
is not pressed in step 8, the Auto MCACC setup will start
automatically as shown.
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.
Again, try to be as quiet as possible while this is happening. It may
take 1 to 3 minutes.

The Auto MCACC setup has finished! You return to the
Return
System Setup menu.
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 30).
Note
• 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 Speaker Setting on page 30.
• 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)

Other problems when using the Auto MCACC setup
If the room environment is not optimal for the Auto MCACC setup
(too much background noise, echo off the walls, obstacles
blocking the speakers from the microphone) the final settings may
be incorrect. Check for household appliances (air conditioner,
fridge, fan, etc.), that may be affecting the environment and switch
them off if necessary. If there are any instructions showing in the
front panel display, please follow them.
• Some older TVs may interfere with the operation of the
microphone. If this seems to be happening, switch off the TV
when doing the Auto MCACC setup.
