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. 6 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, Standing Wave, Acoustic Cal EQ and Full Band Phase Control. Again, try to be as quiet as possible while this is happening. It may take 3 to 7 minutes. 7 The Auto MCACC Setup has finished! Press RETURN to go back to the System Setup menu.2 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 36).3 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. Playing a source Here are the basic instructions for playing a source (such as a DVD disc) with your home theater system.

Start by switching on the playback component (for example a DVD player), your TV4 and subwoofer (if you have one), then the receiver (press  RECEIVER). • Make sure the setup mic is disconnected. 2 Select the input source you want to play. You can use the input source buttons on the remote control, INPUT SELECT, or the front panel INPUT SELECTOR dial.5 Note 1 If you're using the front panel display, the diagram in Listening to Surround Sound above indicates (in bold) how each speaker is displayed. 2 You can also choose to view the settings from the MCACC Data Check screen. See Automatic MCACC (Expert) on page 36 for more on this. 3 • 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 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. 4 Make sure that the TV's video input is set to this receiver (for example, if you connected this receiver to the VIDEO 1 jacks on your TV, make sure that the VIDEO 1 input is now selected). 5 If you need to manually switch the input signal type press SIGNAL SEL (page 31). 9 En
