Chapter 4:
Basic Setup
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.
• If you connected either the surround back
speaker or the front height speaker, make
sure that the Pre Out setting is correctly set
before performing the Auto MCACC Setup
(see page 42).
