Otherwise, place the microphone at ear level using a table or a chair. 4 Follow the instructions on-screen. • Make sure the microphone is connected. • If you're using a subwoofer, it is automatically detected every time you switch on the system. Make sure it is on and the volume is turned up. • See Problems when using the Auto MCACC Setup on page 9 for notes regarding high background noise levels and other possible interference. 5 Wait for the Auto MCACC Setup to finish outputting test tones. 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. • Do not adjust the volume during the test tones. This may result in incorrect speaker settings. • With error messages (such as Too much ambient noise! or Check Microphone) select RETRY after checking for ambient noise (see Problems when using the Auto MCACC Setup on page 9) and verifying the mic connection. If there doesn't seem to be a problem, you can simply select GO NEXT and continue. 6 If necessary, confirm the speaker configuration in the OSD.1 The configuration shown on-screen should reflect the actual speakers you have. 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. DVD/LD 1.

You can correct the setting manually using the Manual speaker setup on page 47. • 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. 38 En
