Chapter 2:
5 minute guide
Introduction to home theater
Home theater refers to the use of multiple
audio tracks to create a surround sound effect,
making you feel like you're in the middle of the
action or concert. The surround sound you get
from a home theater system depends not only
on your speaker setup, but also on the source
and the sound settings of the receiver.
This receiver will automatically decode
multichannel Dolby Digital, DTS, or Dolby
Surround sources according to your speaker
setup. In most cases, you won’t have to make
changes for realistic surround sound, but
other possibilities (like listening to a CD with
multichannel surround sound) are explained in
Listening to your system on page 28.
Listening to Surround Sound
With the following quick setup guide, you
should have your system hooked up for
surround sound in no time at all. In most
cases, you can simply leave the receiver in the
default settings.
Be sure to complete all connections before
connecting to an AC power source.
1 Connect your DVD player and TV.
See Connecting a DVD player and TV on page 13
to do this. For surround sound, you’ll want to
hook up using a digital connection from the
DVD player to the receiver.
2 Connect your speakers and place them for
optimal surround sound.
See Connecting the speakers on page 19.
Where you place the speakers will have a big
effect on the sound. Place your speakers as
shown below for the best surround sound
effect. Also see Hints on speaker placement on
page 20 for more on this.
3 Plug in and switch on the receiver,
followed by your DVD player, subwoofer and
TV.
Make sure you’ve set the video input on your
TV to this receiver. Check the manual that
came with the TV if you don’t know how to do
this.
4 Use the on-screen automatic MCACC
setup to set up your system.
See Automatically setting up for surround
sound (MCACC) below for more on this.
5 Play a DVD, and adjust the volume.
Make sure that DVD is showing in the
receiver’s display. If it isn’t, press DVD on the
remote to set the receiver to the DVD input.
1
There are several other sound options you can
select. See Listening to your system on page 28
for more on this.
2
Note
1 You may need to set your DVD player to output Dolby Digital, DTS and 88.2 kHz/96 kHz PCM (2 channel) audio (see your DVD
player’s manual for more on this).
2 Depending on your DVD player or source disc, you may only get 2 channel sound. In this case, the listening mode must be set
to STANDARD (see Listening in surround sound on page 28 if you need to do this) if you want multichannel surround sound.

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.
Important
The Auto MCACC Setup will overwrite any
existing speaker settings you’ve made.
Make sure the headphones are unplugged.
Caution
The test tones used in the Auto MCACC
Setup are output at high volume.
1 Switch on the receiver and your TV.
2 Connect the microphone to the MCACC/
AUDIO IN jack on the front panel.
Make sure there are no obstacles between the
speakers and the microphone.
If you have a tripod, use it to place the
microphone so that it’s about ear level at your
normal listening position. Otherwise, place the
microphone at ear level using a table or a chair.

1 • The screensaver automatically starts after three minutes of inactivity. If you cancel the Auto MCACC Setup at any time, the
receiver automatically exits and no settings will be made.
• The OSD will not appear if you have connected using the HDMI output to your TV. Use component, S-video or composite
connections for system setup.
2 If you are planning on bi-amping your front speakers, or setting up a separate speaker system in another room, read through
Surround back speaker setting on page 35 and make sure to connect your speakers as necessary before continuing.

6 Follow the instructions on-screen.
Make sure the microphone is connected.
If you’re using a subwoofer, it is
automatically detected every time you
switch on the system. Make sure it is on
and the volume is turned up.
See below for notes regarding background
noise and other possible interference.
7 Wait for the test tones to finish.
A progress report is displayed on-screen while
the receiver outputs test tones to determine the
speakers present in your setup. Try to be as
quiet as possible while it’s doing this.
For correct speaker settings, do not adjust
the volume during the test tones.
8 Confirm the speaker configuration.
The configuration shown on-screen should
reflect the actual speakers you have.
If the speaker configuration displayed isn’t
correct, use / to select the speaker and
/ to change the setting (and number for
surround back). When you’re finished, go to
the next step.
If you see an error message (ERR) in the right
side column, there may be a problem with the
speaker connection. If selecting RETRY
doesn’t fix the problem, turn off the power and
check the speaker connections.
9 Make sure ‘OK’ is selected, then press
ENTER.
If the screen in step 8 is left untouched for 30
seconds, and the ENTER button is not pressed
in step 9 the Auto MCACC setup will start
again from the beginning.
A progress report is displayed on-screen while
the receiver outputs more test tones to
determine the optimum receiver settings for
channel level, speaker distance, and Acoustic
Calibration EQ.
Again, try to be as quiet as possible while this
is happening. It may take 3 to 8 minutes.
10 The Auto MCACC Setup has finished!
Select ‘SKIP’ to go back to the System
Setup menu.
The MCACC indicator on the front panel will
light to show the setup is complete.
The settings made in the Auto MCACC Setup
should give you excellent surround sound
from your system, but it is also possible to
adjust these settings manually using the
System Setup menu (starting on page 35).

Note
1 • Depending on the characteristics of your room, sometimes identical speakers with cone sizes of around 12 cm (5 inches)
will end up with different size settings. You can correct the setting manually using the Speaker Setting on page 41.
• The subwoofer distance setting may be farther than the actual distance from the listening position. This setting should be
accurate (taking delay and room characteristics into account) and generally does not need to be changed.

Other problems when using the Auto
MCACC Setup
If the room environment is not optimal for the
Auto MCACC Setup (too much background
noise, echo off the walls, obstacles blocking
the speakers from the microphone) the final
settings may be incorrect. Check for household
appliances (air conditioner, fridge, fan, etc.),
that may be affecting the environment and
switch them off if necessary. If there are any
instructions showing in the front panel display,
please follow them.
Some older TVs may interfere with the
operation of the microphone. If this seems
to be happening, switch off the TV when
doing the Auto MCACC Setup.
Better sound using Phase
Control
This receiver’s Phase Control feature uses
phase correction measures to make sure your
sound source arrives at the listening position
in phase, preventing unwanted distortion and/
or coloring of the sound (see illustration
below).
Phase Control technology provides coherent
sound reproduction through the use of phase
matching
1
for an optimal sound image at your
listening position. The default setting is on and
we recommend leaving Phase Control
switched on for all sound sources.
Press PHASE (PHASE CONTROL) to switch
on phase correction.
Note
1 Phase matching is a very important factor in achieving proper sound reproduction. If two waveforms are 'in phase', they crest
and trough together, resulting in increased amplitude, clarity and presence of the sound signal. If a crest of a wave meets a
trough (as shown in the upper section of the diagram above) then the sound will be 'out of phase' and an unreliable sound image
will be produced.
