If you have connected a subwoofer, it will
check for ambient noise once again.
When the auto surround setup is complete,
the volume level returns to normal and
COMPLETE, then RESUME shows in the
display. The MCACC indicator then lights to
show that MCACC setup is complete.
• If the room environment is not optimal for
the auto surround setup (too much
ambient noise, echo off the walls, obsta-
cles blocking the speakers from the
microphone) the final settings may be
incorrect. Check for household appli-
ances (air conditioner, fridge, fan, etc.),
that may be affecting the environment
and switch them off if necessary.
• Some older TVs may interfere with the
operation of the mic. If this seems to be
happening, switch off the TV when doing
the auto surround setup.
• Using the MCACC system to set up your
speaker system overwrites any previous
settings you had for the STANDARD or
ADVANCED SURROUND modes.
• When the STANDARD or ADVANCED
SURROUND mode is selected, you can
check the settings made with MCACC by
using CH SELECT (to check channel
levels) or by going through the steps in
Choosing your receiver setup on page 41
to check other settings.
• Depending on the characteristics of your
room, sometimes identical speakers with
cone sizes of around 12cm will end up
with different size settings. You can
correct the setting manually using the
receiver setup on page 41.
