02 5 minute guide Automatically setting up for surround sound The Auto Surround 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. Make sure you do this before moving on to Playing a source on page 14. 2 Connect the microphone to the MCACC SETUP MIC jack on the front panel. Make sure there are no obstacles between the speakers and the microphone. • Place the microphone on the supplied microphone stand (shown above) for the best results with the Auto Surround Setup. Important • Make sure the microphone and speakers are not moved during the Auto Surround Setup. • Using the Auto Surround Setup will overwrite any existing speaker settings in the receiver. • The receiver will automatically exit the on-screen menu after three minutes of inactivity. Caution • The test tones used in the Auto Surround Setup are output at high volume. Important • If you have a tripod, use it to place the microphone so that it's about ear level at your normal listening position. Otherwise, place the microphone at ear level using a table or a chair. 3 Press RECEIVER on the remote control, then press the SYSTEM SETUP button. An on-screen display (OSD) appears on your TV.
