04 Basic 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 Manual speaker 
setup on page 62 .
!  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 Full Auto MCACC Setup measurement 
results are incorrect due to the interaction of 
the speakers and viewing 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 25 ). 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.
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 BD) which, in turn, correspond with the 
names on the remote control.
5  Follow the instructions on-screen.
Make sure the microphone is connected, and 
if you’re using a subwoofer, make sure it is 
switched on and set to a comfortable volume 
level.
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 checking for ambient 
noise (see Problems when using the Auto 
MCACC Setup on page 24 ) 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 
connections. 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 deter-
mine 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 56 or The 
System Setup and Other Setup menus on page 
62 .
