Automatically setting up for surround sound
(MCACC)
The Auto Multi-Channel ACoustic Calibration (MCACC) setup
measures the acoustic characteristics of your listening area,
taking into account ambient noise, speaker size and
distance, and tests for both channel delay, channel level and
X.Over. After you have set up the microphone provided with
your system, the receiver uses the information from a series
of test tones to optimize the speaker settings and
equalization for your particular room.
CAUTION
• The test tones used in the Auto MCACC setup are output
at high volume.
Important
• The OSD will not appear if you have connected using the
HDMI output to your TV. Use composite connections for
Auto MCACC setup.
• The Auto MCACC setup will overwrite any existing
speaker settings you've made.
• Before using the Auto MCACC setup, the iPod/USB input
should not be selected as an input source.
