Remedy
• There may have been some low frequency noise in the room from an air-conditioner, motor, etc.
Switch off all other appliances in the room and use Auto MCACC Setup again.
• Depending on a number of factors (room size, speaker placement, etc.) this may occur in some
cases. Change the speaker setting manually in Speaker Setting on page 91, and use the ALL (Keep
SP System) option for the Auto MCACC menu in Automatic MCACC (Expert) on page 78 if this is a
recurring problem.
• Check that the speakers are all in phase (make sure the positive (+) and negative (–) terminals are
matched up properly).
• With the receiver in standby, press  STANDBY/ON while holding down SPEAKERS to disable the
key lock.
• The power cord was disconnected from the wall while adjusting this setting.
• Settings are only stored if all the zones are turned off. Turn off all the zones before unplugging the
power cord.
• Make sure the blue  STANDBY/ON light has gone out before unplugging.
Remedy
• There are cases where the graph does not appear flat (even when selecting ALL CH ADJ in the Auto
MCACC Setup) due to adjustments made to compensate for room characteristics to achieve optimal
sound.
• Areas of the graph may appear identical (before and after) when there is little or no adjustment
needed.
• The graph may appear to have shifted vertically when comparing before and after measurements.
• Despite level adjustments being made, the filters used for analysis may not display these
adjustments in the graphical output. However, these adjustments are taken this into account by the
filters dedicated to overall system calibration.
• Low frequencies used in bass management (the subwoofer channel) will not change for speakers
that have been specified as SMALL in the configuration, or do not output these frequencies.
• Calibration is performed, but due to your speakers' low frequency limitations, no measurable
sound is output for display.
Remedy
• Press DIMMER repeatedly to select a different brightness.
• Press DIMMER repeatedly to select a different brightness.
• Check the digital connections and make sure that the digital inputs are assigned correctly (see The
Input Setup menu on page 43).
• If the multichannel analog inputs are selected, select a different input function.
• These indicators does not light if playback is paused.
• Check the playback (especially the digital output) settings of the source component.
• Check that the player is connected using a digital connection.
• Make sure that the receiver is set to AUTO or DIGITAL (see Choosing the input signal on page 61).
• Check that the player isn't set up so that Dolby Digital and DTS sources are converted to PCM.
• Ensure that if there are several audio tracks on the disc, the Dolby Digital or DTS is selected.
• The disc may not contain 5.1/6.1 channel material. Check the disc packaging for more on what
audio tracks are recorded on the disc.
• Make sure that the receiver is set to AUTO or DIGITAL (see Choosing the input signal on page 61).
• If a two channel soundtrack is currently playing (including Dolby Surround encoded), then this is
not a malfunction. Check the disc packaging for details about the audio tracks available.
