Using the Auto MCACC setup for
optimal surround sound
The Multichannel Acoustic Calibration (MCACC) system
measures the acoustic characteristics of your listening
area, taking into account ambient noise, and testing for
channel delay and channel level. After you have set up
the microphone provided, the system uses the
information from a series of test tones to optimize the
speaker settings and equalization (Acoustic Calibration
EQ) for your particular room.
Important
• The test tones used for Auto MCACC setup are loud;
however, do not turn the volume down during setup
as this may result in a sub-optimal setup.
• Make sure the microphone and speakers are not
moved during the MCACC setup.
