Getting started
Home theater sound setup
Place your speakers as shown below for
optimal surround sound (see the Speaker
Setup Guide for more placement tips).
• Standard surround 5-spot setup – This is
a standard multichannel surround sound
speaker setup for optimal 5.1 channel
home theater sound.
Depending on the size and characteristics of
your room, you can choose to use the following
setup option:
1
• Front surround 3-spot setup – This setup
is ideal when rear surround speaker
placement isn't possible or you want to
avoid running long speaker cables in your
listening area. Use this setup together with
the Front Surround modes to take
advantage of wall and ceiling reflections
for a very realistic surround effect.
After placing your speakers, see Using the
Auto MCACC setup for optimal surround sound
below to complete your surround setup.
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 with your
system, the receiver uses the information from
a series of test tones to optimize the speaker
settings and equalization (Acoustic Calibration
EQ) for your particular room.
2
Important
• These test tones are loud; however, do not
turn the volume down during setup as this
may result in a sub-optimal calibration.
• Make sure the mic and speakers are not
moved during the MCACC setup.
Note
1 See Using Front Surround on page 15 to select a front surround mode when using this setup.
