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 
Setup on page 39 for notes regarding high 
background noise levels and other possible 
interference.
6
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 
MCACC Setup on page 39) and verifying the 
mic connection. If there doesn’t seem to be 
a problem, you can simply select 
GO NEXT 
and continue.
7
If necessary, confirm the speaker 
configuration in the GUI screen.
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 8.
• If you see an 
ERR message (or the speaker 
configuration displayed isn’t correct), there 
may be a problem with the speaker 
connection.
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 continue. 
• If 
Reverse Phase is displayed, the 
speaker’s wiring (+ and –) may be inverted. 
Check the speaker connections.
2
If the connections were wrong, turn off the 
power, disconnect the power cable, then 
reconnect properly. After this, perform the 
Full Auto MCACC procedure again.
Note
1 This screen is only shown if you selected 
ALL or Speaker Setting from the Auto MCACC menu.
2 If the speaker is not pointed to the microphone (listening position) or when using speakers that affect the phase 
(dipole speakers, reflective speakers, etc.), 
Reverse Phase may be displayed even if the speakers are properly 
connected. If this happens, select 
GO NEXT and continue.
