Manual MCACC speaker setup

VSX-516 model only
You can use the settings in the Manual MCACC
setup menu to make detailed adjustments
when you're more familiar with the system.
Before making these settings, you should have
already completed Automatically setting up for
surround sound (MCACC) on page 9.
You only need to make these settings once
(unless you change the placement of your
current speaker system or add new speakers).
Important
• For some of the settings below, you'll have
to connect the setup microphone to the
front panel and place it about ear level at
your normal listening position. See
Automatically setting up for surround
sound (MCACC) on page 9 if you're unsure
how to do this. Also see Other problems
during Auto MCACC on page 10 for notes
regarding high background noise levels
and other possible interference.
• If you're using a subwoofer, switch it on
and turn up the volume to the middle
position.
1 Select 'M. MCACC' from the System Setup
menu.
See Using the System Setup menu above if
you're not already at this menu.
2 Select the setting you want to adjust.
If you're doing this for the first time, you might
want to make these settings in order.
