• With error messages (such as Too much ambient noise)
select RETRY after checking for ambient noise (see Other
problems when using the Auto MCACC setup below).
If the speaker configuration displayed isn't correct, use /
to select the speaker and / to change the setting. When
you're finished, go to the next step.
If you see an error message (ERR) in the right side column,
there may be a problem with the speaker connection. If
selecting RETRY doesn't fix the problem, turn off the power
and check the speaker connections.

Make sure 'OK' is selected, then press ENTER.
If the screen in step 7 is left untouched for 10 seconds and
ENTER is not pressed in step 8, the Auto MCACC setup will
start automatically as shown.

A progress report is displayed on-screen while the receiver
outputs more test tones to determine the optimum receiver
settings for channel level, speaker distance, and Acoustic
Calibration EQ.
Again, try to be as quiet as possible while this is happening.
It may take 1 to 3 minutes.

The Auto MCACC setup has finished! You return to the
System Setup menu.
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 System
Setup menu (starting on page 30).

Note
• 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 Speaker
Setting on page 30.
• 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.

Other problems when using the Auto MCACC
setup
If the room environment is not optimal for the Auto MCACC
setup (too much background noise, echo off the walls,
obstacles blocking the speakers from the microphone) the
final settings may be incorrect. Check for household
appliances (air conditioner, fridge, fan, etc.), that may be
affecting the environment and switch them off if necessary. If
there are any instructions showing in the front panel display,
please follow them.
• Some older TVs may interfere with the operation of the
microphone. If this seems to be happening, switch off the
TV when doing the Auto MCACC setup.
