5 Follow the instructions on-screen.
Make sure the microphone is connected, and
if you're using a subwoofer, make sure it is
switched on and set to a comfortable volume
level.
6 Wait for the test tones to finish, then
confirm the speaker configuration in the
GUI screen.
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.
If no operations are performed for 10 seconds
while the speaker configuration check screen
is being displayed, the Full Auto MCACC Setup
will resume automatically. In this case, you
don't need to select 'OK' and press ENTER in
step 7.
! 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 on page 17 ) 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 ERR message (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 i/j to select
the speaker and k/l to change the setting
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.),
Reverse Phase may be displayed even if the
speakers are properly connected.
If Reverse Phase is displayed, the speaker's
wiring (+ and –) may be inverted. Check the
speaker connections.
— If the connections were wrong, turn off
the power, disconnect the power cord,
then reconnect properly. After this,
perform the Full Auto MCACC procedure
again.
— If the connections were right, select
GO NEXT and continue.
7 Make sure 'OK' is selected, then press
ENTER.
A progress report is displayed on-screen while
the receiver outputs more test tones to deter-
mine the optimum receiver settings.
Again, try to be as quiet as possible while this is
happening. It may take 3 to 10 minutes.
8 The Full Auto MCACC Setup procedure
is completed and the Home Menu menu
reappears automatically.
Be sure to disconnect the microphone from
this receiver upon completion of the Full Auto
MCACC Setup.
! Depending on the characteristics of your
room, sometimes identical speakers with
cone sizes of around 12 cm will end up with
different size settings. You can correct the
setting manually using the Manual speaker
setup on Operating Instructions in CD-ROM.
! 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 Full Auto MCACC Setup measurement
results are incorrect due to the interaction of
the speakers and viewing environment, we
recommend adjusting the settings manually.
Problems when using the Auto
MCACC Setup
If the room environment is not optimal for the
Auto MCACC Setup (too much background
noise, echo off the walls, obstacles blocking
the speakers from the microphone) the final
settings may be incorrect. Check for household
appliances (air conditioner, fridge, fan, etc.),
that may be affecting the environment and
switch them off if necessary. If there are any
instructions showing in the front panel display,
please follow them.
! Some older TVs may interfere with the
operation of the microphone. If this seems to
be happening, switch off the TV when doing
the Auto MCACC Setup.
