Using the Auto MCACC setup for
optimal surround sound
The Multichannel Acoustic Calibration
(MCACC) system measures the acoustic
characteristics of your listening area, taking
into account ambient noise, and testing for
channel delay and channel level. After you
have set up the microphone provided, the
system uses the information from a series of
test tones to measure reverb, optimizing the
speaker settings and equalization (Acoustic
Calibration EQ) for your particular room.
Important
• The test tones used for Auto MCACC setup
are loud; however, do not turn the volume
down during setup as this may result in a
sub-optimal setup.
• Make sure the microphone and speakers
are not moved during the MCACC setup.
Note
1 You only need to use the Auto MCACC setup once (unless you change the placement of your speakers or your room layout).
