If you have a tripod, use it to place the microphone so that
it's about ear level at your normal listening position. If you
do not have a tripod, use some other object to install the
1
microphone.
The Full Auto MCACC display appears once the
2
microphone is connected.

2 • You can't use the HOME MENU when the iPod/USB, HOME MEDIA GALLERY, XM or SIRIUS Radio input function is selected (in either the
main or sub zone). When you set ZONE 2, ZONE 3 or ZONE 2&3 to ON (page 85), you can't use the HOME MENU.
• If you leave the GUI screen for over five minutes, the screen saver will appear.
3 • For details on the speaker layout and the Surr Back System setting, see Determining the speakers' application on page 19.
• If you are planning on bi-amping your front speakers, or setting up a separate speaker system in another room, read through Surround back
speaker setting on page 109 and make sure to connect your speakers as necessary before continuing to step 5.
• If you have THX-certified speakers, select Return, then select Auto MCACC for the THX Speaker setting. See Automatic MCACC (Expert) on
page 96 for more on this.
4 The six MCACC presets are used for storing surround sound settings for different listening positions. Simply choose an unused preset for now
(you can rename it later in Data Management on page 106).
5 Note that correction curves are saved only when set to SYMMETRY. Select Return, then select Auto MCACC to save other correction curves
(such as ALL CH ADJ and FRONT ALIGN). See Automatic MCACC (Expert) on page 96 for more on this.
6 Do not adjust the volume during the test tones. This may result in incorrect speaker settings.

Make sure the microphone is connected, and if you're
using a subwoofer, make sure it is switched on and set to
a comfortable volume level.
6 Wait for the test tones to finish, then confirm the
speaker configuration in the GUI screen.
A progress report is displayed on-screen while the
receiver outputs test tones to determine the speakers
present in your setup. Try to be as quiet as possible while

it's doing this.
If no operations are performed for 10 seconds while the
speaker configuration check screen is being displayed,
the Auto MCACC Setup will resume automatically. In this
case, you don't need to select 'OK' and press ENTER in
step 7.
• With error messages (such as Too much ambient
noise! or Check microphone.) select RETRY after
checking for ambient noise (see Problems when
using the Auto MCACC Setup below) and verifying the
mic connection. If there doesn't seem to be a
problem, you can simply select GO NEXT and
continue.
