 WARNING

• Do not use or store batteries in direct sunlight or other 

excessively hot place, such as inside a car or near a heater. 

This can cause batteries to leak, overheat, explode or catch 

fire. It can also reduce the life or performance of batteries.

 CAUTION

• When inserting the batteries, make sure not to damage 

the springs on the battery’s (–) terminals. This can cause 

batteries to leak or overheat.

• When disposing of used batteries, please comply with 

governmental regulations or environmental public institu-

tion’s rules that apply in your country/area.

Automatically setting up for surround sound (MCACC)

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.

 Important

• Measure in a quiet environment.

• 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.

• Accurate measurements may not be possible if there are 

obstacles between the speakers and the listening position 

(microphone).

• When measuring, step away from the listening position, 

and operate using the remote control from the external 

side of all the speakers.
