other possible interference.

The configuration shown on-screen should reflect the
actual speakers you have.

The Auto MCACC setup has finished! You return to the
Home Menu.
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
Home Menu (starting on page 32).
Note
• 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 Speaker Setting on page
• 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.
