If you see an ERR message (or the speaker configuration displayed isn't correct), there may be a problem with the speaker connection. If selecting RETRY doesn't work, turn off the power and check the speaker connections. If there doesn't seem to be a problem, you can simply use i/j to select the speaker and k/l to change the setting and continue. ! If the speaker is not pointed to the microphone (listening position) or when using speakers that affect the phase (dipole speakers, reflective speakers, etc.), Reverse Phase may be displayed even if the speakers are properly connected. If Reverse Phase is displayed, the speaker's wiring (+ and -) may be inverted. Check the speaker connections. - If the connections were wrong, turn off the power, disconnect the power cord, then reconnect properly. After this, perform the Full Auto MCACC procedure again. - If the connections were right, select GO NEXT and continue. 7 Make sure 'OK' is selected, then press ENTER. A progress report is displayed on-screen while the receiver outputs more test tones to determine the optimum receiver settings. Again, try to be as quiet as possible while this is happening. It may take 3 to 10 minutes. 8 The Full Auto MCACC Setup procedure is completed and the Home Menu menu reappears automatically. Be sure to disconnect the microphone from this receiver upon completion of the Full Auto MCACC Setup. The settings made in the Full Auto MCACC Setup should give you excellent surround sound from your system, but it is also possible to adjust these settings manually using The Advanced MCACC menu on page 92 or The System Setup and Other Setup menus on page 100. ! 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 Manual speaker setup on page 101. ! 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. ! If Full Auto MCACC Setup measurement results are incorrect due to the interaction of the speakers and viewing environment, we recommend adjusting the settings manually. 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. The Input Setup menu You only need to make settings in the Input Setup menu if you didn't hook up your digital equipment according to the default settings (see Input function default and possible settings on page 49). In this case, you need to tell the receiver what equipment is hooked up to which terminal so the buttons on the remote control correspond to the components you've connected. ! The on-screen display is only displayed when this receiver's HDMI OUT 1 or HDMI OUT 2 terminal is con- nected to the TV's HDMI input terminal by HDMI cable. When connected to the TV with anything other than an HDMI cable, watch the front panel display when performing operations and making settings. 1 Press on the remote control, then press HOME MENU. A Graphical User Interface (GUI) screen appears on your TV. Use i/j/k/l and ENTER to navigate through the screens and select menu items. Press RETURN to exit the current menu. 2 Select 'System Setup' from the Home Menu. 3 Select 'Input Setup' from the System Setup menu. 4.System Setup A/V RECEIVER a.Manual SP Setup b. Input Setup c.
