5 Follow the instructions on-screen.
• Make sure the microphone is connected.
• Make sure the subwoofer is on and the
volume is turned up.
• See below for notes regarding background
noise and other possible interference.
6 Wait for the test tones to finish.
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.
1.Auto MCACC
Environment Check
• For correct speaker settings, do not adjust
the volume during the test tones.
7 Confirm the speaker configuration.
The configuration shown on-screen should
reflect the actual speakers you have.
• With error messages (such as Too much
ambient noise) select RETRY after
checking for ambient noise (see Other
problems when using the Auto MCACC
Setup on page 11).

If the speaker configuration displayed isn't
correct, use / to select the speaker and
/ to change the setting. When you're
finished, go to the next step.
Note
1 • 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 Speaker Setting on page 42.
• 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 you see an error message (ERR) in the right
side column, there may be a problem with the
speaker connection. If selecting RETRY
doesn't fix the problem, turn off the power and
check the speaker connections.
8 Make sure 'OK' is selected, then press
ENTER.
If the screen in step 7 is left untouched for 10
seconds and the ENTER button is not pressed
in step 8, the Auto MCACC setup will start
automatically as shown below.
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, and Acoustic Calibration EQ.

Again, try to be as quiet as possible while this
is happening. It may take 1 to 3 minutes.

You return to the System Setup menu.
The settings made in the Auto MCACC Setup

your system, but it is also possible to adjust
these settings manually using the System
