Using the Auto MCACC setup for
optimal surround sound
The Multichannel Acoustic Calibration (MCACC) system measures
the acoustic characteristics of your listening area, taking into
account ambient noise, and testing for channel delay and channel
level. After you have set up the microphone provided, the system
uses the information from a series of test tones to measure standing
wave and reverb, optimizing the speaker settings and equalization
(MCACC Effect) for your particular room.
Important
• The test tones used for Auto MCACC setup are loud; however, do
not turn the volume down during setup as this may result in a
sub-optimal setup.
• Make sure the microphone and speakers are not moved during
the MCACC setup.
Note
• You only need to use the Auto MCACC setup once (unless you
change the placement of your speakers or your room layout).
1 Connect the microphone to the MCACC SETUP MIC jack on
Receiver
back of the display unit.

microphone.
