Simple version Basic version ENGLISH Set up speakers (Audyssey® Auto Setup) About setup microphone placement • Measurements are performed by placing the setup microphone successively at multiple positions throughout the entire listening area, as shown in GExample qH. For best results, we recommend you measure in six positions, as shown in the illustration (up to six positions). • Even if the listening environment is small as shown in GExample wH, measuring at multiple points throughout the listening environment results in more effective correction.

Before starting Audyssey Auto Setup, place the setup microphone in the main listening position. Audyssey MultEQ® uses the measurements from this position to calculate speaker distance, level, polarity, and the optimum crossover value for the subwoofer. NOTE • Do not hold the setup microphone in your hand during measurements. • Avoid placing the setup microphone close to a seat back or wall as sound reflections may give inaccurate results.
