Setting up

After connecting and installing the HDD/DVD recorder
and receiver subwoofer, complete the steps below to set
the system up for use.
HDD/DVD recorder
• Set the date and time, TV channel tuning and the type
of TV in the Setup Navigator (page 68).
Receiver subwoofer
• Complete the Auto MCACC setup to optimize the
surround sound (see below).
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 measure
standing wave and reverb, optimizing the speaker
settings and equalization (MCACC Effect) for your
1
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.
