Symptom
The Auto MCACC Setup
continually shows an error.
After using the Auto MCACC
Setup, the speaker size
setting is incorrect.
Can't adjust the Fine Speaker
Distance setting (page 93)
properly.
Remedy
• Sometimes a video deck may output a noisy video signal (during scanning,
for example), or the video quality may just be poor (with some video game units,
for example). The picture quality may also depend on the settings, etc. of your
display device. Switch off the video converter and reconnect the source and
display device using the same type of connection (component or composite),
then start playback again.
• When a monitor only compatible with resolutions of 480i is connected to the
component terminal and another monitor is connected to the HDMI terminal,
the video signals may not be output to the monitor connected to the component
terminal. If this happens, do the following:
– Turn off the power of the monitor connected to the HDMI terminal.
– Change the VIDEO PARAMETER menu RES setting (page 73).
– Video signals from the HDMI terminal cannot be output to the component
terminals. Input the video signals from the player or other source to the
composite or component terminals. When using the component terminal,
assign it at Input Setup.
Remedy
• The ambient noise level may be too high. Keep the noise level in the room as
low as possible (see also Problems when using the Auto MCACC Setup on
page 43). If the noise level cannot be kept low enough, you will have to set up
the surround sound manually (page 102).
• When using only one surround back speaker, connect it to the SURROUND
BACK L (Single) terminals.
• To use a 5.1-channel speaker set, use the surround speakers for the surround
channel, not the surround back channel.
• Make sure there are no obstacles between the speakers and the microphone.
• If Reverse Phase is displayed, try the following:
– The speaker's wiring (+ and –) may be inverted. Check the speaker
connections.
– Depending on the type of speakers and their installation conditions, Reverse
Phase may be displayed even if the speakers are properly connected. If this
happens, select GO NEXT 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.),
it may not be possible to properly identify the polarity.
• There may have been some low frequency noise in the room from an air-
conditioner, motor, etc. Switch off all other appliances in the room and use
Auto MCACC Setup again.
• Depending on a number of factors (room size, speaker placement, etc.) this may
occur in some cases. Change the speaker setting manually in Speaker Setting on
page 104, and use the ALL (Keep SP System) option for the Auto MCACC menu
in Automatic MCACC (Expert) on page 89 if this is a recurring problem.
• Check that the speakers are all in phase (make sure the positive (+) and
negative (–) terminals are matched up properly).
