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.

Again, try to be as quiet as possible while this is
happening. It may take 2 to 6 minutes.
• If you selected a Multi-Point 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.
Note
1 This screen is only shown if you selected ALL or Speaker Setting in Auto Mode from the Auto MCACC Option menu.
2 • 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 43.
• 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.
3 Since the distance measurements have been set according to the sound characteristics of your speakers, there are cases where (for optimal surround
sound) the actual distance may differ from the speaker distance setting.

Surround back speaker setting

• Default setting: Normal (SB)
There are several ways you can use the surround back
speaker channels with this system. In addition to a
normal home theater setup where they are used for the
surround back speakers, they can be used for bi-amping
the front speakers or as an independent speaker system
in another room.
