Basic Setup

Canceling the demo display

The display on the front panel shows various information

(demo displays) when the receiver is not operating.

You can turn off the demo display. For details, see The FL

Demo Mode menu on page 37.

• The demo mode is canceled automatically when the Auto

MCACC setup is performed (see below).

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 OSD will not appear if you have connected using the

HDMI output to your TV. Use composite or connections

for system setup.

• The Auto MCACC setup will overwrite any existing

speaker settings you’ve made.

• Before using the Auto MCACC setup, the iPod USB input

should not be selected as an input source.

• If you connected either the surround back speaker or the

front height speaker, make sure that the Pre Out setting

is correctly set before performing the Auto MCACC setup

(see page 37). (Here is an explanation using the OSD

screen for a surround back speaker connection.)

Switch on the receiver and your TV.

Switch the TV input to the input that connects this

receiver to the TV through the corresponding composite or

component cable.

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.

Press on the remote control, then press the

SETUP button.

The System Setup menu appears on your TV. Use ///

and ENTER on the remote control to navigate through the

screens and select menu items. Press RETURN to exit the

current menu.

•Press SETUP at any time to exit the System Setup menu.

If you cancel the Auto MCACC setup at any time, the

receiver automatically exits and no settings will be made.

• The screensaver automatically starts after three minutes

of inactivity.

Select ‘Auto MCACC’ from the System Setup menu, then

press ENTER.

• MIC IN blinks when the microphone is not connected to

MCACC SETUP MIC jack.

Try to be as quiet as possible after pressing ENTER. The

system outputs a series of test tones to establish the ambient

noise level.

Follow the instructions on-screen.

• Make sure the microphone is connected.

• Make sure the subwoofer is on and the volume is turned

up.

• When using surround back or front height speakers, turn

on the power to the amplifier to which the surround back

or front height speakers are connected, and adjust the

sound level to the desired level.

• See below for notes regarding background noise and

other possible interference.
