it's about ear level at your normal listening position. If you
do not have a tripod, use some other object to install the

microphone.

4 When you're finished setting the options, select
START then press ENTER.
5 Follow the instructions on-screen.
• Make sure the microphone is connected.
• If you're using a subwoofer, it is automatically
detected every time you switch on the system. Make
sure it is on and the volume is turned up.
• See Problems when using the Auto MCACC Setup on
page 43 for notes regarding high background noise
levels and other possible interference.
6 Wait for the Auto MCACC Setup to finish
outputting test tones.
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.
• Do not adjust the volume during the test tones. This
may result in incorrect speaker settings.
• 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 43) and
verifying the mic connection. If there doesn't seem to
be a problem, you can simply select GO NEXT and
continue.
7 If necessary, confirm the speaker configuration in
2
the GUI screen.
The configuration shown on-screen should reflect the
actual speakers you have.
If no operations are performed for 10 seconds while the
speaker configuration check screen is being displayed,
the Auto MCACC Setup will resume automatically. In this
case, you don't need to select 'OK' and press ENTER in
step 8.
