Basic Setup

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 36) and verifying the mic

connection. If there doesn’t seem to be a problem, you can simply select GO NEXT and continue.

The configuration shown on-screen should reflect the actual speakers you have.

! If you see an ERR message (or the speaker configuration displayed isn’t correct), there may be a problem

with the speaker connection. If selecting RETRY doesn’t work, turn off the power and check the speaker con-

nections. If there doesn’t seem to be a problem, you can simply use i/j to select the speaker and k/l to

change the setting and continue.

! If the speaker is not pointed to the microphone (listening position) or when using speakers that affect the

phase (dipole speakers, reflective speakers, etc.), Reverse Phase may be displayed even if the speakers are

properly connected.

If Reverse Phase is displayed, the speaker’s wiring (+ and –) may be inverted. Check the speaker

connections.

— If the connections were wrong, turn off the power, disconnect the power cord, then reconnect properly.

After this, perform the Full Auto MCACC procedure again.

— If the connections were right, select GO NEXT and continue.

7 Make sure ‘OK’ is selected, then press ENTER.

A progress report is displayed on-screen while the receiver outputs more test tones to determine the optimum

receiver settings.

Again, try to be as quiet as possible while this is happening. It may take 3 to 10 minutes.

8 The Full Auto MCACC Setup procedure is completed and the Home Menu menu reappears

automatically.

Be sure to disconnect the microphone from this receiver upon completion of the Full Auto MCACC Setup.

The settings made in the Full Auto MCACC Setup should give you excellent surround sound from your system,

but it is also possible to adjust these settings manually using The Advanced MCACC menu on page 76 or The

System Setup and Other Setup menus on page 83.

! Depending on the characteristics of your room, sometimes identical speakers with cone sizes of around 12

cm will end up with different size settings. You can correct the setting manually using the Manual speaker

setup on page 84.

! The subwoofer distance setting may be farther than the actual distance from the listening position. This set-

ting should be accurate (taking delay and room characteristics into account) and generally does not need to

be changed.

! If Full Auto MCACC Setup measurement results are incorrect due to the interaction of the speakers and view-

ing environment, we recommend adjusting the settings manually.

Problems when using the Auto MCACC Setup

If the room environment is not optimal for the Auto MCACC Setup (too much background noise, echo off the

walls, obstacles blocking the speakers from the microphone) the final settings may be incorrect. Check for

household appliances (air conditioner, fridge, fan, etc.), that may be affecting the environment and switch them

off if necessary. If there are any instructions showing in the front panel display, please follow them.

! Some older TVs may interfere with the operation of the microphone. If this seems to be happening, switch off

the TV when doing the Auto MCACC Setup.

The Input Setup menu

You only need to make settings in the Input Setup menu if you didn’t hook up your digital equipment according

to the default settings (see Input function default and possible settings on page 37). In this case, you need to tell

the receiver what equipment is hooked up to which terminal so the buttons on the remote control correspond to

the components you’ve connected.

! 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.

1 Press on the remote control, then press HOME MENU.

A Graphical User Interface (GUI) screen appears on your TV. Use i/j/k/l and ENTER to navigate through the

screens and select menu items. Press RETURN to exit the current menu.

2 Select ‘System Setup’ from the Home Menu.

3 Select ‘Input Setup’ from the System Setup menu.

4 Select the input function that you want to set up.

The default names correspond with the names next to the terminals on the rear panel (such as DVD or SAT/CBL

which, in turn, correspond with the names on the remote control.

5 Select the input(s) to which you’ve connected your component.

For example, if your DVD player only has an optical output, you will need to change the DVD input function’s

Audio In setting from COAX-1 (default) to the optical input you’ve connected it to.

6 When you’re finished, proceed to the settings for other inputs.

There are optional settings in addition to the assignment of the input jacks:

! Input Name – You can choose to rename the input function for easier identification. Select Rename to do so,

or Default to return to the system default.

! Input Skip – When set to ON, that input is skipped when selecting the input using INPUT SELECT. (DVD and

other inputs can be still be selected directly with the input function buttons.)

7 When you’re finished, press RETURN.

You will return to the System Setup menu.
