Again, try to be as quiet as possible while this
is happening. It may take 3 to 7 minutes.
• If you selected a STAND.WAVE Multi-
Point setup (in step 2), you will be asked to
place the mic at the 2nd and 3rd reference
points before finally placing it at your main
listening position.
9 The Auto MCACC Setup procedure is
completed and the Advanced MCACC menu
reappears automatically.
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 Manual
MCACC setup menu (starting below) or
Manual SP Setup menu (starting on
1
page 94).
Note
1 • Depending on the characteristics of your room, sometimes identical speakers with cone sizes of around 12 cm (5
inches) will end up with different size settings. You can correct the setting manually using the Manual speaker setup
on page 94.
• 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.
• If Auto MCACC Setup measurement results are incorrect due to the interaction of the speakers and viewing
environment, we recommend adjusting the settings manually.
2 Since the distance measurements have been set according to the sound characteristics of your speakers, there are
cases where (for optimal surround sound) the actual distance may differ from the speaker distance setting.
