Full Auto MCACC
Place the supplied speaker setup microphone in the listening position, measure the test tones emitted by the speakers, then the unit automatically sets the optimum volume level for each speaker, the crossover frequencies, and the distance from the listening position. This also reduces the effect of the standing wave in accordance with the viewing environment and automatically adjusts the equalizers for the speakers and enables correction of distortion caused by the acoustic environment of the room.
• Calibration takes between 3 and 12 minutes to be completed. The speakers emit the test tone at high volume during measurement, so be careful of your surroundings. Keep the room as quiet as possible during measurement.
• If you have connected a subwoofer, check the power and volume of the subwoofer. Set the subwoofer volume to more than halfway.
• If the power of this unit suddenly turns off, the wires in the speaker cables may have touch the rear panel or other wires and tripped the protection circuit.
Twist the wires again properly and make sure they do not stick out of the speaker terminals when connecting.
1. Place the supplied speaker setup microphone in the listening position, and connect to the MCACC SETUP MIC jack on the main unit.

4. The measurement results in step 3 are displayed. If there is no problem in the detection result of the speaker, select "Next" and press ENTER to output the test tone again to automatically set the settings such as volume level, crossover frequency, etc., to their optimum. (The test tone is automatically output when 10 seconds has elapsed without any operation.)
• When an error message is displayed or when the connected speakers cannot be detected, perform re-measurement by selecting "Retry" and pressing ENTER.
• When it cannot be resolved by performing the re-measurement, confirm if the speakers are connected correctly. If there is any problem with the speaker connection, perform the connection after disconnecting the power cord.
5. Once the measurement is completed, it is possible to perform the measurement in 2 additional listening positions. To perform the measurement, select "Next" and press ENTER, then follow the instructions. To not perform the measurement, select "Finish (Calculate)" and press ENTER.

Troubleshooting
Before starting the procedure
Problems may be solved by simply turning the power on/off or disconnecting/ connecting the power cord, which is easier than working on the connection, setting and operating procedure. Try the simple measures on both the unit and the connected device. If the problem is that the video or audio is not output or the
HDMI linked operation does not work, disconnecting/connecting the HDMI cable may solve it. When reconnecting, be careful not to wind the HDMI cable since if wound the HDMI cable may not fit well. After reconnecting, turn off and on the unit and the connected device.
• The AV receiver contains a microPC for signal processing and control functions. In very rare situations, severe interference, noise from an external source, or static electricity may cause it to lockup. In the unlikely event that this happens, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, wait at least
5 seconds, and then plug it back in.
• Our company is not responsible for damages (such as CD rental fees) due to unsuccessful recordings caused by the unit’s malfunction. Before you record important data, make sure that the material will be recorded correctly.
