6 Wait for the test tones to finish, then confirm the speaker configuration in the GUI screen.
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.
If no operations are performed for 10 seconds while the speaker configuration check screen is being displayed,
the Full Auto MCACC Setup will resume automatically. In this case, you don't need to select 'OK' and press
ENTER in step 7.
! With error messages (such as Too much ambient noise! or Check microphone.), select RETRY after check-
ing for ambient noise (see Problems when using the Auto MCACC Setup
connection. If there doesn't seem to be a problem, you can simply select GO NEXT and continue.

The configuration shown on-screen should reflect the actual speakers you have.
! If you see an ERR message (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 con-
nections. If there doesn't seem to be a problem, you can simply use i/j to select the speaker and k/l to
change the setting and continue.
! If the speaker is not pointed to the microphone (listening position) or when using speakers that affect the
phase (dipole speakers, reflective speakers, etc.), Reverse Phase may be displayed even if the speakers are
properly connected.
If Reverse Phase is displayed, the speaker's wiring (+ and –) may be inverted. Check the speaker
connections.
— If the connections were wrong, turn off the power, disconnect the power cord, then reconnect properly.
After this, perform the Full Auto MCACC procedure again.
— If the connections were right, select GO NEXT and continue.
7 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.
Again, try to be as quiet as possible while this is happening. It may take 3 to 10 minutes.
8 The Full Auto MCACC Setup procedure is completed and the Home Menu menu reappears
automatically.
Be sure to disconnect the microphone from this receiver upon completion of the Full Auto MCACC Setup.
The settings made in the Full Auto MCACC Setup should give you excellent surround sound from your system,
but it is also possible to adjust these settings manually using
System Setup and Other Setup menus on page 85.
! 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
speaker setup on page 86.
! The subwoofer distance setting may be farther than the actual distance from the listening position. This set-
ting should be accurate (taking delay and room characteristics into account) and generally does not need to
be changed.
! If Full Auto MCACC Setup measurement results are incorrect due to the interaction of the speakers and view-
ing environment, we recommend adjusting the settings manually.

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.
