timer is set to six hours under factory settings, and the timing

Automatically setting up for surround sound
(MCACC)
The Auto Multi-Channel ACoustic Calibration (MCACC) setup
measures the acoustic characteristics of your listening area,
taking into account ambient noise, speaker size and distance,
and tests for both channel delay, channel level and X.Over.
After you have set up the microphone provided with your
system, the receiver uses the information from a series of test
tones to optimize the speaker settings and equalization for
your particular room.
CAUTION
• The test tones used in the Auto MCACC setup are output at
high volume.
Important
• The OSD will not appear if you have connected using the
HDMI output to your TV. Use composite connections for
Auto MCACC setup.
• The Auto MCACC setup will overwrite any existing speaker
settings you've made.
• Before using the Auto MCACC setup, the iPod/USB input
should not be selected as an input source.
