Automatically setting up for surround sound (MCACC)
(VSX-824/VSX-529/VSX-424)
The Auto Multi-Channel ACoustic Calibration (MCACC) setup
uses the supplied setup microphone to measure and analyze
the test tone that is outputted by the speakers. This setup
enables automatic high precision measuring and settings;
utilizing it will create an optimum user listening environment.

that it's about ear level at your normal listening position.
Otherwise, place the microphone at ear level using a table
or a chair.
