The Auto MCACC setup has finished! You return to the

System Setup menu.

The settings made in the Auto MCACC setup should give you

excellent surround sound from your system, but it is also

possible to adjust these settings manually using the System

Setup menu (see The System Setup menu on Operating

Instructions in CD-ROM).

• With error messages (such as Too much ambient noise)

select RETRY after checking for ambient noise (see Other

problems when using the Auto MCACC setup below).

If the speaker configuration displayed isn’t correct, use /

to select the speaker and / to change the setting. When

you’re finished, go to the next step.

If you see an error message (ERR) in the right side column,

there may be a problem with the speaker connection. If

selecting RETRY doesn’t fix the problem, turn off the power

and check the speaker connections.

Other 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.

• 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 Speaker Setting on

Operating Instructions in CD-ROM to do this.

• The subwoofer distance setting may be farther than the

actual distance from the listening position. This setting

should be accurate (taking delay and room

characteristics into account) and generally does not need

to be changed.
