Setting The Clock; Using The On-Screen Displays - Pioneer S-DV434 Operating Instructions Manual

Getting started
2 Place the microphone at your normal
listening position.
Place the mic about ear level at your normal
listening position using a table or chair.
Make sure there are no obstacles between the
speakers and the microphone.
3 If the receiver is off, press
STANDBY/ON to turn the power on.
4 Press MCACC SET UP.
Try to be as quiet as possible after pressing
MCACC SET UP. The volume increases
automatically and the system outputs a series
of test tones.
If the noise level is too high, Noisy! blinks in
the display for five seconds. To exit and check
1
, press MCACC SET UP, or to
the noise levels
try again, press ENTER when Retry? shows in
the display.
The system now checks the microphone and
your speaker setup.
• If you see an Err MIC! or Err SP! message
in the display, there may be a problem with
your mic or the speaker connections. To try
again, press ENTER when you see Retry?
When the MCACC setup is complete, the
volume level returns to normal and Complete
shows in the display. The MCACC indicator
then lights to show that the MCACC setup is
complete and Acoustic Calibration EQ has
4
been activated.
Note
1 • If the room environment is not optimal for the auto surround setup (too much ambient noise, echo off the walls, obstacles
blocking the speakers from the microphone) the final settings may be incorrect. Check for household appliances (air condition-
er, fridge, fan, etc.), that may be affecting the environment and switch them off if necessary.
• Some older TVs may interfere with the operation of the mic. If this seems to be happening, switch off the TV when doing the
auto surround setup.
2 If this doesn't work, press MCACC SET UP, turn off the power, and check the problem indicated by the Err message, then try
the auto surround setup again.
3 If Complete doesn't appear, it is likely an error occured during the setup. Please check all connections and try again.
4 See Listening with Acoustic Calibration EQ on page 13 for more on this.
5 If you unplug the system from the wall outlet, or there is a power outage, you will need to set the clock again.
6 The screen saver will appear after five minutes of inactivity.
