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.
4 When you're finished settings the options, select
START then press ENTER.
5 Follow the instructions on-screen.
• Make sure the microphone is connected.
• If you're using a subwoofer, it is automatically
detected every time you switch on the system. Make
sure it is on and the volume is turned up.
• See Problems when using the Auto MCACC Setup on
page 44 for notes regarding high background noise
levels and other possible interference.
6 Wait for the Auto MCACC Setup to finish
outputting test tones.
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.
• Do not adjust the volume during the test tones. This
may result in incorrect speaker settings.
Note
1 It may not be possible to measure correctly if the microphone is placed on a table, sofa, etc.
2 This screen is only shown if you selected ALL or Speaker Setting from the Auto MCACC menu.
3 If the speaker is not pointed to the microphone (listening position) or when using speakers that affect the phase (dipole speakers, reflective
speakers, etc.), Reverse Phase may be displayed even if the speakers are properly connected.

• If you see an ERR message (or the speaker
configuration displayed isn't correct), there may be a
problem with the speaker connection.
If selecting RETRY doesn't work, turn off the power
and check the speaker connections. If there doesn't
seem to be a problem, you can simply use / to
select the speaker and / to change the setting
and continue.
• If Reverse Phase is displayed, the speaker's wiring
(+ and –) may be inverted. Check the speaker
3
connections.
– If the connections were wrong, turn off the power,
disconnect the power cord, then reconnect properly.
After this, perform the Full Auto MCACC procedure
again.
– If the connections were right, select GO NEXT and
continue.
