6 Follow the instructions on-screen.
Make sure the microphone is connected, and if you're
using a subwoofer, make sure it is switched on and set to
a comfortable volume level.
Note
1 • To see the on-screen display, please connect the receiver and TV with a composite, component, or S-video cable.
• You can't use the System Setup menu when the iPod or XM Radio input source is selected (in either the main or sub room).
2 If you cancel the Auto MCACC Setup, or leave an error message for over three minutes, the screen saver will appear.
3 • If you are planning on bi-amping your front speakers, or setting up a separate speaker system in another room, read through Surround back speaker
setting on page 35 and make sure to connect your speakers as necessary before continuing to step 6.
• If you have THX-certified speakers, select Option and choose YES for the THX Speaker setting.
4 The six MCACC presets are used for storing surround sound settings for different listening positions. Simply choose an unused preset for now (you can
rename it later in Data Management on page 41).
5 Do not adjust the volume during the test tones. This may result in incorrect speaker settings.
6 If you're using the front panel display, the diagram in Listening to Surround Sound above indicates (in bold) how each speaker is displayed.
7 You can also choose to view the settings from the MCACC Data Check screen. See Automatic MCACC (Expert) on page 33 for more on this.
8 • Depending on the characteristics of your room, sometimes identical speakers with cone sizes of around 5 inches will end up with different size settings.
You can correct the setting manually using the Manual speaker setup on page 42.
• 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.

speaker configuration in the OSD.
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 Ambient Noise or
Microphone Check) 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 OK and continue.

The configuration shown on-screen should reflect the
6
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
(and number for surround back) and continue.
8 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.
Again, try to be as quiet as possible while this is
happening. It may take 2 to 6 minutes.
9 The Auto MCACC Setup has finished! Press RETURN
to go back to the 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 33).
