Canceling the demo display

The display on the front panel shows various information
(demo displays) when the receiver is not operating.
You can turn off the demo display. For details, see The FL
Demo Mode menu on page 37.
• The demo mode is canceled automatically when the Auto
MCACC setup is performed (see below).
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 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 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 or connections
for system 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.
• If you connected either the surround back speaker or the
front height speaker, make sure that the Pre Out setting
is correctly set before performing the Auto MCACC setup
(see page 37). (Here is an explanation using the OSD
screen for a surround back speaker connection.)
