Manual MCACC setup
You can use the settings in the Manual
MCACC setup menu to make detailed
adjustments when you're more familiar with
the system. Before making these settings, you
should have already completed Automatically
setting up for surround sound (Auto MCACC) on
page 40.
You only need to make these settings once
(unless you change the placement of your
1
current speaker system or add new speakers).
• The test tones used in the Manual MCACC
setup are output at high volume.
• Press the MCACC button while the
pertinent setup screens are displayed to
select MCACC presets.
• 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.

and turn up the volume to the middle
position.
