Setting up
Manually calibrating your
listening area (MCACC)
You can use the Multi-Channel Acoustic Cali-
bration (MCACC) system to fine tune your
speaker levels and channel delay. These are
calibrated according to the distance from
your left front speaker to the listening posi-
tion. You will hear a series of test tones that
will allow you to set the speaker levels and
channel delay to your liking. The advantage of
doing this is that you can achieve an overall
balance defined by the front speakers (the
main speakers for home theater).
• You must complete the Speaker setting on
page 44 before using the MCACC setup.
• These test tones can be loud, so take care
that there is no one in the room who will
be startled by the noise.

The MCACC system uses the left front
speaker as a reference point to calibrate the
speaker level and channel delay.
The front left speaker tone and the target
speaker (the one that you're trying to adjust)
tone will sound in turns, so you can judge
which needs to be louder.

neously at a position slightly in front of you
and between your arm span.
