Automatically conducting optimum
sound tuning (Full Auto MCACC)
The Full Auto MCACC Setup measures the acoustic
characteristics of your listening area, taking into account
ambient noise, speaker connection and speaker size, 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.
SC-LX83 only: By performing the Full Auto MCACC Setup
procedure, the frequency-phase characteristics of the
connected speakers are also calibrated.
Once the Full Auto MCACC Setup procedure is
completed, the Full Band Phase Control function is
automatically turned on (page 59).
Important
•Make sure the microphone and speakers are not
moved during the Full Auto MCACC Setup.
•
Using the Full Auto MCACC Setup will overwrite any
existing settings for the MCACC preset you select.
•Before using the Full Auto MCACC Setup, the
headphones should be disconnected.
CAUTION
• The test tones used in the Full Auto MCACC Setup
are output at high volume.

When this is selected and ENTER is pr essed, the
speaker system selection screen appears. Select the
proper speaker system, then press RETURN to return.
• EQ Type – This determines how the frequency
balance is adjusted.
1 Install the microphone on a stable floor. Placing the microphone on any of the following surfaces may make accurate measurement
impossible:
• Sofas or other soft surfaces.
• High places such as tabletops and sofa tops.
2 If you leave the GUI screen for over five minutes, the screen saver will appear.
3• When data measurement is taken, the reverb characteristics data (both before- and after-calibration) that this receiver had been storing will
be overwritten. If you want to save the reverb characteristics data before measuring, connect a USB memory device to this receiver and
transfer the data.
• When measurement is taken of the reverb characteristics data other than SYMMETRY, the data are not measured after th
e correction. If
you will need to measure after correcting data, take the measurement using the EQ Professional menu in the Manual MCACC setup
(page 101).
4 If you are planning on bi-amping your front speakers, or setting up a separate speaker system in another room, read through Speaker system
setting on page 110 and make sure to connect your speakers as necessary before continuing to step 4.
