1 • You can't use the HOME MENU when the iPod/USB input function is selected (in either the main or sub zone).
When you set ZONE 2 to ON (page 68), you can't use the HOME MENU.
• If you leave the GUI screen for over five minutes, the screen saver will appear.
2 • If you are planning on bi-amping your front speakers, or setting up a separate speaker system in another room, read
through Surround back speaker setting on page 93 and make sure to connect your speakers as necessary before
continuing to step 4.
• If you have THX-certified speakers, select Return, then select Auto MCACC for the THX Speaker setting. See
Automatic MCACC (Expert) on page 77 for more on this.

an unused preset for now (you can rename it later in Data Management on page 90).
4 Note that correction curves are saved only when set to SYMMETRY. Select Return, then select Auto MCACC to save
other correction curves (such as ALL CH ADJ and FRONT ALIGN). See Automatic MCACC (Expert) on page 77 for
more on this.

A progress report is displayed on-screen while
the receiver outputs test tones to determine the
speakers present in your setup. Try to be as
quiet as possible while it's doing this.

while the speaker configuration check screen
is being displayed, the Auto MCACC Setup will
resume automatically. In this case, you don't
need to select 'OK' and press ENTER in step 6.

ambient noise! or Check microphone.)
select RETRY after checking for ambient
noise (see Problems when using the Auto

problem, you can simply select GO NEXT
