5 minute guide 02 1 Switch on the receiver and your TV. 2 Connect the microphone to the MCACC SETUP MIC jack on the front panel. Place the microphone so that it's about ear level at your normal listening position (use a tripod if possible). Make sure there are no obstacles between the speakers and the microphone.

Make sure the microphone is connected, and if you're using a subwoofer, make sure it is switched on and set to a comfortable volume level. 6 Wait for the test tones to finish then confirm the speaker configuration in the OSD. A progress report is displayed on-screen while the receiver outputs test tones to determine the speakers present in your setup. Try to be as quiet as possible while it's doing this.4 If no operations are performed for 10 seconds while the speaker configuration check screen is being displayed, the Auto MCACC Setup will resume automatically. In this case, you don't need to select 'OK' and press ENTER in step 7. • With error messages (such as Ambient Noise or Microphone Check) select RETRY after checking for ambient noise (see Problems when using the Auto MCACC Setup below) and verifying the mic connection. 2.Auto MCACC Now Analyzing Environment Check Ambient Noise Microphone Speaker YES/NO [ OK ] [ OK ] [ OK ] :Cancel 2.Auto MCACC Check!

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. 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 for channel level, speaker distance, and Acoustic Calibration EQ. Again, try to be as quiet as possible while this is happening. It may take 2 to 6 minutes. 8 The Auto MCACC Setup has finished! Select 'SKIP' to go back to the System Setup menu. Be sure to disconnect the microphone from this receiver upon completion of the Auto MCACC setup. 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 35).6 Note 1 • If you cancel the Auto MCACC Setup, or leave an error message for over three minutes, the screen saver will appear. • The OSD will not appear if you have connected using the HDMI output to your TV. Use component, S-video, or composite connections for system setup. 2 • If you are planning on bi-amping your front speakers, or setting up a separate speaker system in another room, read through Surround back speaker setting on page 35 and make sure to connect your speakers as necessary before continuing to step 5. • If you have THX-certified speakers, make sure YES is selected in THX Speaker Setup on page 42. 3 When TYPE1 is selected, the calibration is set for ALL CH ADJUST; when TYPE2 is selected, the calibration is set for both ALL CH ADJUST and FRONT ALIGN. For details on the correction of each setting, see Professional Acoustic Calibration EQ on page 37. 4 Do not adjust the volume during the test tones. This may result in incorrect speaker settings. 5 If you're using the front panel display, the diagram in Listening to Surround Sound above indicates (in bold) how each speaker is displayed. 6 • 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 40. • 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. 9 En
