WARNING

This equipment is not waterproof. To prevent a fire
or shock hazard, do not place any container filed
with liquid near this equipment (such as a vase or
flower pot) or expose it to dripping, splashing, rain
or moisture.

WARNING

Before plugging in for the first time, read the following

D3-4-2-1-3_A_En

section carefully.

The voltage of the available power supply differs
according to country or region. Be sure that the
power supply voltage of the area where this unit

D3-4-2-1-7a_A_En

VENTILATION CAUTION

When installing this unit, make sure to leave space
around the unit for ventilation to improve heat
radiation (at least 10 cm at top, 10 cm at rear, and
10 cm at each side).

WARNING

Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for
ventilation to ensure reliable operation of the
product, and to protect it from overheating. To
prevent fire hazard, the openings should never be
blocked or covered with items (such as newspapers,
table-cloths, curtains) or by operating the
equipment on thick carpet or a bed.

CAUTION

The STANDBY/ON switch on this unit will not
completely shut off all power from the AC outlet.
Since the power cord serves as the main disconnect
device for the unit, you will need to unplug it from
the AC outlet to shut down all power. Therefore,
make sure the unit has been installed so that the
power cord can be easily unplugged from the AC
outlet in case of an accident. To avoid fire hazard,
the power cord should also be unplugged from the
AC outlet when left unused for a long period of time
(for example, when on vacation).

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.

• These test tones are loud; however, do not

Note

1 • If the room environment is not optimal for the Auto MCACC setup (too much ambient 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.

• Some older TVs may interfere with the operation of the mic. If this seems to be happening, switch off the TV during the Auto

MCACC setup.
2 If this doesn’t work, press SHIFT+MCACC, turn off the power, and check the problem indicated by the ERR message, then try
the Auto MCACC setup again.
3If COMPLETE doesn’t appear, it is likely an error occurred during the setup. Please check all connections and try again.
