Basic Setup
Automatically setting up for 
surround sound (MCACC)
The Auto Multi-Channel Acoustic Calibration 
(MCACC) setup measures the acoustic 
characteristics of your listening area, taking 
into account ambient noise, speaker size and 
distance, and tests for both channel delay and 
channel level. After you have set up the 
microphone provided with your system, the 
receiver uses the information from a series of 
test tones to optimize the speaker settings and 
equalization for your particular room. 
 CAUTION
• The test tones used in the Auto MCACC 
Setup are output at high volume.
 Important
• The Auto MCACC Setup will overwrite any 
existing speaker settings you’ve made.
• Before using the Auto MCACC Setup, the 
iPod USB function should not be selected 
as an input source.
• When both the surround back speaker and 
the front height speaker are connected, 
conduct Auto MCACC setup twice: once 
with the Speaker System setting is in 
Surr.Back’ and once with the Speaker 
System setting is in ‘
Height’. (There is no 
need to conduct Auto MCACC Setup every 
time the Speaker System setting is 
changed.)
1
Switch on the receiver and your TV.
Switch the TV input so that it connects to the 
receiver.
2
Connect the microphone to the MCACC 
SETUP MIC jack on the front panel. 
Make sure there are no obstacles between the 
speakers and the microphone.
If you have a tripod, use it to place the 
microphone so that it’s about ear level at your 
normal listening position. Otherwise, place the 
microphone at ear level using a table or a chair.
