Manual MCACC setup

You can use the settings in the Manual MCACC setup
menu to make detailed adjustments when you're more
familiar with the system. Before making these settings,
you should have already completed Automatically setting
up for surround sound (MCACC & Full Band Phase Control)
on page 12.
You only need to make these settings once (unless you
change the placement of your current speaker system or
add new speakers).
Caution
• The test tones used in the System Setup are output at
high volume.
Important
• You will need to first specify the MCACC preset you
want to adjust by pressing MCACC before pressing
SETUP (step 2 in Making receiver settings from the
System Setup menu on page 44). When Manual
MCACC is selected while MCACC is set to OFF, the
selection screen for the MCACC memory appears.
Select a memory to adjust manually.
• For some of the settings below, you'll have to connect
the setup microphone to the front panel and place it
about ear level at your normal listening position.
Press SETUP to display the System Setup menu
before you connect the microphone to this receiver. If
the microphone is connected while the System Setup
menu is not being displayed, the display will change
to the Auto MCACC setup menu. See Problems when
using the Auto MCACC Setup on page 14 for notes
regarding high background noise levels and other
possible interference.
• If you're using a subwoofer, switch it on and turn up
the volume to the middle position.
1 Select 'Manual MCACC' from the System Setup
menu.
See Making receiver settings from the System Setup menu
on page 44 if you're not already at this screen.

2 Select the setting you want to adjust.
If you're doing this for the first time, you might want to
make these settings in order.
• Fine Channel Level – Make fine adjustments to the
overall balance of your speaker system (see Fine
Channel Level below).
• Fine SP Distance – Make precise delay settings for
your speaker system (see Fine Speaker Distance on
page 49).
• Precision Distance – Fine-adjusting the positions of
the speakers (see Fine-adjusting the positions of the
speakers (Precision Distance) on page 49).
• Standing Wave – Control overly resonant low
frequencies in your listening room (see Standing
Wave on page 50).
The last two settings are specifically for customizing the
parameters explained in Acoustic Calibration EQ Adjust
on page 51:
• EQ Adjust – Manually adjust the frequency balance
of your speaker system while listening to test tones
(see Acoustic Calibration EQ Adjust on page 51).
• EQ Professional – Calibrate your system based on
the direct sound coming from the speakers and make
detailed settings according to your room's reverb
characteristics (see Acoustic Calibration EQ
Professional on page 51).

Fine Channel Level

• Default setting: 0.0dB (all channels)

adjustments that you may not achieve using the Manual
speaker setup on page 56.
