Using the Auto MCACC setup for
optimal surround sound
Not applicable to the DCS-FS30 model
The Multichannel Acoustic Calibration (MCACC)
system measures the acoustic characteristics of
your listening area, taking into account ambient
noise and testing for 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
measure reverb, optimizing the speaker settings
and equalization (Acoustic Calibration EQ) for
2
your particular room.
Important
• These test tones are loud; however, do not
turn the volume down during setup as this
may result in a sub-optimal calibration.
• Make sure the mic and speakers are not
moved during the MCACC setup.
