Basic Setup
Automatically conducting optimum sound tuning (Full Auto
MCACC)
The Full Auto MCACC Setup measures the acoustic characteristics of your listening area, taking into account
ambient noise, speaker connection and speaker size, 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.
Important
! Make sure the microphone and speakers are not moved during the Full Auto MCACC Setup.
! Using the Full Auto MCACC Setup will overwrite any existing settings for the MCACC preset you select.
! Before using the Full Auto MCACC Setup, the headphones should be disconnected.
! The OSD display is only displayed when the receiver’s HDMI OUT 1 terminal and the TV’s HDMI input are
connected with an HDMI cable. If the TV is connected with anything other than an HDMI cable, watch the front
panel display while performing the various operations and making settings.
CAUTION
! The test tones used in the Full Auto MCACC Setup are output at high volume.

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. If
you do not have a tripod, use some other object to install the microphone.
Install the microphone on a stable floor. Placing the microphone on any of the following surfaces may make
accurate measurement impossible:
! Sofas or other soft surfaces.
! High places such as tabletops and sofa tops.
The Full Auto MCACC display appears once the microphone is connected.

! If you leave the GUI screen for over five minutes, the screen saver will appear.
3 Select the parameters you want to set.
! When data measurement is taken, the reverb characteristics data (both before- and after-calibration) that this
receiver had been storing will be overwritten.
! When measurement is taken of the reverb characteristics data other than SYMMETRY, the data are not
measured after the correction. If you will need to measure after correcting data, take the measurement using
the EQ Professional menu in the Manual MCACC setup (page 80).
If the speakers are connected using any setup other than Normal(SB/FH), be sure to set Speaker System before
the Full Auto MCACC Setup. See Speaker system setting on page 86.
! Speaker System – Shows the current settings. When this is selected and ENTER is pressed, the speaker
system selection screen appears. Select the proper speaker system, then press RETURN to return.
If you are planning on bi-amping your front speakers, or setting up a separate speaker system in another
room, read through Speaker system setting on page 86 and make sure to connect your speakers as necessary
before continuing to step 4.
! EQ Type – This determines how the frequency balance is adjusted. Normally select SYMMETRY. For details,
see Automatic MCACC (Expert) on page 79.
! MCACC – The six MCACC presets are used for storing surround sound settings for different listening posi-
tions. Simply choose an unused preset for now (you can rename it later in Data Management on page 83).
! THX Speaker – Select YES when using THX speakers (all speakers other than the front speakers are set to
SMALL). In other cases, leave at NO.
4 Press then select START.
5 Follow the instructions on-screen.
Make sure the microphone is connected, and if you’re using a subwoofer, make sure it is switched on and set to a
comfortable volume level.
6 Wait for the test tones to finish, then confirm the speaker configuration in the GUI screen.
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.
If no operations are performed for 10 seconds while the speaker configuration check screen is being displayed,
the Full Auto MCACC Setup will resume automatically. In this case, you don’t need to select ‘OK’ and press
ENTER in step 7.
! With error messages (such as Too much ambient noise! or Check microphone.), select RETRY after check-
ing for ambient noise (see Problems when using the Auto MCACC Setup on page 38) and verifying the mic
connection. If there doesn’t seem to be a problem, you can simply select GO NEXT and continue.
