Symptom
The Auto MCACC Setup
continually shows an error.

Setup, the speaker size setting
is incorrect.
Remedy
• Check the video connections of the source component (see page 31).
• For HDMI, or when digital video conversion is set to OFF and a TV and another component are
connected with different cords (in Setting the Video options on page 73), you must connect your TV
to this receiver using the same type of video cable as you used to connect your video component.
• Make sure the input assignment is correct for components connected using component video or
HDMI cables (see The Input Setup menu on page 45).
• Check the video output settings of the source component.
• Check that the video input you selected on your TV is correct.
• Some components (such as video game units) have resolutions that may not be converted. If
adjusting this receiver's Resolution setting (in Setting the Video options on page 73) and/or the
resolution settings on your component or display doesn't work, try switching Digital Video
Conversion (in Setting the Video options on page 73) to OFF.
• Check that the source is not copy-protected.
• The video converter is not available when making recordings. Check that the same type of video
cable is used for connecting both the recorder and the video source (the one you want to record) to
this receiver.
• Sometimes a video deck may output a noisy video signal (during scanning, for example), or the
video quality may just be poor (with some video game units, for example). The picture quality may
also depend on the settings, etc. of your display device. Switch off the video converter and reconnect
the source and display device using the same type of connection (component or composite), then
start playback again.
• When a monitor only compatible with resolutions of 480i is connected to the component terminal
and another monitor is connected to the HDMI terminal, the video signals may not be output to the
monitor connected to the component terminal. If this happens, do the following:
– Turn off the power of the monitor connected to the HDMI terminal.
– Change the VIDEO PARAMETER menu RES setting.
– Video signals from the HDMI terminal cannot be output to the component terminals. Input the
video signals from the player or other source to the composite or component terminals. When using
the component terminal, assign it at Input Setup.
• When Resolution under VIDEO PARAMETER is set to 1080/24p, the picture may not be displayed
properly for some source materials. In this case, set the resolution to something other than 1080/24p
(page 73).
Remedy
• The ambient noise level may be too high. Keep the noise level in the room as low as possible (see
also Problems when using the Auto MCACC Setup on page 44). If the noise level cannot be kept low
enough, you will have to set up the surround sound manually (page 109).
• When using only one surround back speaker, connect it to the SURROUND BACK L (Single)
terminals.
• To use a 5.1-channel speaker set, use the surround speakers for the surround channel, not the
surround back channel.
• Make sure there are no obstacles between the speakers and the microphone.
• If Reverse Phase is displayed, try the following:
– The speaker's wiring (+ and –) may be inverted. Check the speaker connections.
– Depending on the type of speakers and their installation conditions, Reverse Phase may be
displayed even if the speakers are properly connected. If this happens, select GO NEXT 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.), it may not be possible to properly identify
the polarity.
• There may have been some low frequency noise in the room from an air-conditioner, motor, etc.
Switch off all other appliances in the room and use Auto MCACC Setup again.
• Depending on a number of factors (bass reproduction capabilities of the speakers, room size,
speaker placement, etc.) this may occur in some cases. Change the speaker setting manually in
Speaker Setting on page 110, and use the ALL (Keep SP System) option for the Auto MCACC menu
in Automatic MCACC (Expert) on page 99 if this is a recurring problem.
