04 Basic Setup Automatically setting up for surround sound (Auto MCACC & Full Band Phase Control) The Auto MCACC Setup measures the acoustic characteristics of your listening area, taking into account ambient noise, speaker connection and speaker size, 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, and also to calibrate the frequency-phase characteristics of the speakers connected. Make sure you do this before moving on to Playing a source on page 50. Important • Make sure the microphone and speakers are not moved during the Auto MCACC Setup. • Using the Auto MCACC Setup will overwrite any existing settings for the MCACC preset you select. • Before using the Auto MCACC Setup, the headphones should be disconnected and the iPod/ USB, HOME MEDIA GALLERY, XM or SIRIUS Radio function should not be selected as an input function. CAUTION • The test tones used in the Auto MCACC Setup are output at high volume.
