6 Wait while the receiver outputs more test tones to determine the optimum receiver settings. Again, try to be as quiet as possible while this is happening. You may have to adjust the subwoofer volume for the receiver to complete setting up. � If the display shows SW VOL.DN, turn down the volume on the subwoofer, then press ENTER. � If the display shows SW VOL.UP, turn up the volume on the subwoofer, then press ENTER. Once the MCACC setup has finished, the display shows COMPLETE, then RESUME. 7 When the display shows MIC OFF, disconnect the microphone. The MCACC setup is complete! Note that there will be no output from the speakers until you disconnect the microphone. Note � When one of the listening modes is selected, you can check the settings made by the MCACC system by using CH SELECT (to check channel levels) or by going through the steps in Making receiver settings from the System Setup menu on page 34 to check other settings. � Depending on the the characteristics of your room, sometimes identical speakers with cone sizes of around 12cm will end up with different size settings. You can correct the setting manually�see Making receiver settings from the System Setup menu on page 34.
Other problems when using MCACC
If the room environment is not optimal for the auto surround 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. 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 surround setup.
Checking the settings on your DVD (or other) player
Before continuing, you may want to check the digital audio output settings on your DVD player and digital satellite receiver. � Check that your DVD player/satellite receiver is set to output Dolby Digital, DTS and 88.2/96kHz PCM (2 channel) audio. If there is an option for MPEG audio, set this to convert the MPEG audio to PCM. If you connected the multichannel analog outputs of the player to this receiver, make sure that the player is set to output maultichannel analog audio. � In addition, if you�re playing a DVD disc with more than one audio track, check that you�ve selected the right one. Note � Depending on your DVD player or source discs you may not be able to output sound from other than digital 2 channel stereo and analog. In this case you need to change the listening mode to SURROUND if you want multichannel surround sound.
