 Important
• You will need to first specify the MCACC preset you 
want to adjust by pressing MCACC before pressing 
HOME MENU (step 2 in Making receiver settings from 
the Advanced MCACC menu
 on page 77).
• For some of the settings below, you’ll have to connect 
the setup microphone to the front panel and place it 
about ear level at your normal listening position. 
Press HOME MENU to display the HOME MENU 
before you connect the microphone to this receiver. If 
the microphone is connected while the HOME 
MENU
 is not being displayed, the display will change 
to the Full Auto MCACC under Advanced MCACC.
• See Problems when using the Auto MCACC Setup on 
page 43 for notes regarding high background noise 
levels and other possible interference.
• If  you’re using a subwoofer, switch it on and turn up 
the volume to the middle position.
1
Select ‘Manual MCACC’ from the Advanced 
MCACC menu. 
See Making receiver settings from the Advanced MCACC 
menu
 on page 77 if you’re not already at this screen. 
 
2
Select the setting you want to adjust.
If you’re doing this for the first time, you might want to 
make these settings in order.
• Fine Channel Level – Make fine adjustments to the 
overall balance of your speaker system (see Fine 
Channel Level
 below).
• Fine SP Distance – Make precise delay settings for 
your speaker system (see Fine Speaker Distance 
below).
• Standing Wave – Control overly resonant low 
frequencies in your listening room (see Standing 
Wave
 on page 82).
The last two settings are specifically for customizing the 
parameters explained in Acoustic Calibration EQ Adjust 
on page 83:
• EQ Adjust – Manually adjust the frequency balance 
of your speaker system while listening to test tones 
(see Acoustic Calibration EQ Adjust on page 83).
• EQ Professional – Calibrate your system based on 
the direct sound coming from the speakers and make 
detailed settings according to your room’s reverb 
characteristics (see Acoustic Calibration EQ 
Professional
 on page 83).
Fine Channel Level
• Default setting: 0.0dB (all channels)
You can achieve better surround sound by properly 
adjusting the overall balance of your speaker system. You 
can adjust the Channel Level of each speaker in 0.5 dB 
increments. The following setting can help you make 
detailed adjustments that you may not achieve using the 
Manual speaker setup on page 90.
1
Select  ‘Fine Channel Level’ from the Manual 
MCACC setup menu.
The volume increases to the 0.0 dB reference level.
 
2
Adjust the level of the left channel.
This will be the reference speaker level, so you may want 
to keep the level around 0.0dB so that you’ll have plenty 
of room to adjust the other speaker levels.
• After pressing ENTER, test tones will be output.
3
Select each channel in turn and adjust the levels (+/
–10.0 dB) as necessary.
Use 
/ to adjust the volume of the speaker you 
selected to match the reference speaker. When it sounds 
like both tones are the same volume, press 
 to confirm 
and continue to the next channel.
• For comparison purposes, the reference speaker will 
change depending on which speaker you select.
• If you want to go back and adjust a channel, simply 
use 
/ to select it.

When you’re finished, press RETURN.
You will return to the Manual MCACC setup menu.
