1 Do not adjust the volume during the test tones. This may result in incorrect speaker settings.
2 This screen is only shown if you selected ALL or Speaker Setting from the Auto MCACC menu.
3 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.
4 • 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 100.
• 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.
• If Auto MCACC Setup measurement results are incorrect due to the interaction of the speakers and viewing
environment, we recommend adjusting the settings manually.
