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. • Push down on the PUSH OPEN tab to access the MCACC SETUP MIC jack: 7 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.5 • 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. If there doesn't seem to be a problem, you can simply select OK and continue. 1.Auto MCACC Now Analyzing...

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 / to select the speaker and / to change the setting (and number for surround back) and continue. 8 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. 5 Make sure 'Normal (SB)' is selected,3 select an MCACC preset4 then select OK. 6 Follow the instructions on-screen. 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. 9 The Auto MCACC Setup has finished! Press RETURN to go back to the System Setup menu.7 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 33).8 Note 1 • To see the on-screen display, please connect the receiver and TV with a composite, component, or S-video cable. • You can't use the System Setup menu when the iPod or XM Radio input source is selected (in either the main or sub room). 2 If you cancel the Auto MCACC Setup, or leave an error message for over three minutes, the screen saver will appear. 3 • 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 6. • If you have THX-certified speakers, select Option and choose YES for the THX Speaker setting. 4 The six MCACC presets are used for storing surround sound settings for different listening positions. Simply choose an unused preset for now (you can rename it later in Data Management on page 41). 5 Do not adjust the volume during the test tones. This may result in incorrect speaker settings. 6 If you're using the front panel display, the diagram in Listening to Surround Sound above indicates (in bold) how each speaker is displayed. 7 You can also choose to view the settings from the MCACC Data Check screen. See Automatic MCACC (Expert) on page 33 for more on this. 8 • Depending on the characteristics of your room, sometimes identical speakers with cone sizes of around 5 inches will end up with different size settings. You can correct the setting manually using the Manual speaker setup on page 42. • 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
