Automatically setting up for surround sound
(MCACC)
The Auto Multi-Channel ACoustic Calibration (MCACC) setup
measures the acoustic characteristics of your listening area,
taking into account ambient noise, speaker size and distance,
and tests for both channel delay and channel level. After you
have set up the microphone provided with your system, the
receiver uses the information from a series of test tones to
optimize the speaker settings and equalization for your
particular room.
CAUTION
• The test tones used in the Auto MCACC setup are output at
high volume.
Important
• The Auto MCACC setup will overwrite any existing speaker
settings you've made.
• Before using the Auto MCACC setup, the NETRADIO,
M.SERVER, FAVORITE, iPod/USB or ADAPTER input
should not be selected as an input source.
