Automatically setting up for surround sound
(MCACC)
The Auto Multi-Channel ACoustic Calibration (MCACC) setup
measures the acoustic characteristics of your listening area,
taking into account ambient noise, speaker size and
distance, and tests for both channel delay, channel level and
X.Over. After you have set up the microphone provided with
your system, the receiver uses the information from a series
of test tones to optimize the speaker settings and
equalization for your particular room.
CAUTION
The test tones used in the Auto MCACC setup are output
at high volume.
Important
The OSD will not appear if you have connected using the
HDMI output to your TV. Use composite connections for
Auto MCACC setup.
The Auto MCACC setup will overwrite any existing
speaker settings you’ve made.
Before using the Auto MCACC setup, the iPod/USB input
should not be selected as an input source.
1
Switch on the receiver and your TV.
2
Switch the TV input to the input that connects this
receiver to the TV through the corresponding
composite cable.
3
Connect the microphone to the MCACC SETUP MIC jack
on the front panel.
Make sure there are no obstacles between the speakers
and the microphone.
If you have a tripod, use it to place the microphone so
that it’s about ear level at your normal listening position.
Otherwise, place the microphone at ear level using a
table or a chair.

When is my volume too loud?

A volume above 80 decibels can be harmful to hearing. When the volume exceeds 120 decibels, direct damage can even occur. The chance of hearing damage depends on the listening frequency and duration.

Can bluetooth devices of different brands be connected to each other?

Yes, bluetooth is a universal method that allows different devices equipped with bluetooth to connect to each other.

What is bluetooth?

Bluetooth is a way of exchanging data wirelessly between electronic devices via radio waves. The distance between the two devices that exchange data can in most cases be no more than ten metres.

What is HDMI?

HDMI stands for High-Definition Multimedia Interface. An HDMI cable is used to transport audio and video signals between devices.

How can I best clean my receiver?

A slightly damp cleaning cloth or soft, dust-free cloth works best to remove fingerprints. Dust in hard-to-reach places is best removed with compressed air.

Wat is Dolby Atmos?

Dolby Atmos is a technology that ensures that the sound is reflected from the ceiling to where you are listening. This makes it possible to create a 5.1 effect with only 1 speaker.

Why is the sound distorted or too quiet when playing audio through the receiver?

Ensure that the speaker cables are properly connected to the receiver and speakers, as loose connections can cause sound issues. Additionally, check the audio settings on the receiver to ensure proper levels are set and that any audio enhancements or effects are disabled.

Connect the HDMI output of your TV or cable/satellite box to the HDMI input on the receiver. Then, connect your speakers to the receiver. Use the receiver's input selector to choose the appropriate HDMI input for your desired device. Adjust the volume levels as needed.

My remote control is not working with the receiver. What should I do?

First, make sure the batteries in the remote control are fresh and properly inserted. If that doesn't solve the issue, try pointing the remote directly at the receiver's sensor and ensure that there are no obstructions between them. Additionally, check the receiver's settings to ensure that the remote control function is enabled.

How do I calibrate the speakers for optimal audio performance?
