• With error messages (such as Too much ambient

noise! or Check Microphone.) select RETRY after

checking for ambient noise (see Problems when

using the Auto MCACC Setup below) and verifying the

mic connection. If there doesn't seem to be a

problem, you can simply select GO NEXT and

continue.

The configuration shown on-screen should reflect the

actual speakers you have.

If you see an error message (ERR) in the right side

column (or the speaker configuration displayed isn't

correct), there may be a problem with the speaker

connection. If selecting RETRY doesn't work, turn off the

power and check the speaker connections. If there

doesn't seem to be a problem, you can simply use /

to select the speaker and / to change the setting

(and number for surround back) and continue.

Make sure 'OK' is selected, then press ENTER.

A progress report is displayed on-screen while the

receiver outputs more test tones to determine the

optimum receiver settings for Channel Level, Speaker

Distance, Standing Wave and Acoustic Cal EQ.

Again, try to be as quiet as possible while this is

happening. It may take 3 to 7 minutes.

The Auto MCACC Setup has finished! Press RETURN

to go back to the System Setup menu.

Be sure to disconnect the microphone from this receiver

upon completion of the Auto MCACC setup.

The settings made in the Auto MCACC Setup should give

you excellent surround sound from your system, but it is

also possible to adjust these settings manually using the

System Setup menu (starting on page 38).

Note

1 If you're using the front panel display, the diagram in Listening to Surround Sound on page 9 indicates (in bold) how each speaker is displayed.

2 You can also choose to view the settings from the MCACC Data Check screen. See Automatic MCACC (Expert) on page 38 for more on this.

3 • Depending on the characteristics of your room, sometimes identical speakers with cone sizes of around 12 cm (5 inches) will end up with different size

settings. You can correct the setting manually using the Manual speaker setup on page 48.

• The subwoofer distance setting may be farther than the actual distance from the listening position. This setting should be accurate (taking delay and

room characteristics into account) and generally does not need to be changed.

• If Auto MCACC Setup measurement results are incorrect due to the interaction of the speakers and viewing environment, we recommend adjusting

the settings manually.

4 Make sure that the TV's video input is set to this receiver (for example, if you connected this receiver to the VIDEO 1 jacks on your TV, make sure that the

VIDEO 1 input is now selected).

5 If you need to manually switch the input signal type press SIGNAL SEL (page 33).

6 • You may need to check the digital audio output settings on your DVD player or digital satellite receiver. It should be set to output Dolby Digital, DTS and

88.2 kHz / 96 kHz PCM (2 channel) audio, and if there is an MPEG audio option, set this to convert the MPEG audio to PCM.

• Depending on your DVD player or source discs, you may only get digital 2 channel stereo and analog sound. In this case, the receiver must be set to a

multichannel listening mode (see Listening in surround sound on page 30 if you need to do this) if you want multichannel surround sound.
