Getting Started Connections Settings Playback Multi-Zone Remote Control Information Troubleshooting Specifications ENGLISH Making the Optimum Settings for the Connected Speakers Automatically (Audyssey Auto Setup) The acoustic characteristics of the connected speakers and listening room are measured and the optimum settings are made automatically. n Audyssey Auto Setup Flow Step 1 :Connect the included Setup Microphone (vpage 21) Step 2 :Audyssey Auto Setup Preparations (vpage 21) n Setting the speakers for playing the front channel (Front Sp.)

For best results, it is strongly recommended to measure 6 positions so that the measurements have the proper spatial weighting. 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. n When using Front Height Speakers GExample qH GExample wH FHL FL SW C FR FHR FHL FL SW C FR FHR ( : Measuring positions) *M *M SL SR SL SR n When using Surround Back Speakers GExample qH GExample wH FL SW C FR FL SW C FR FHL : Front height speaker (L) FL : Front speaker (L) SW : Subwoofer C : Center speaker FR : Front speaker (R) FHR : Front height speaker (R) SR : Surround speaker (R) SBR : Surround back speaker (R) SBL : Surround back speaker (L) SL : Surround speaker (L) About the main listening position (*M) The main listening position refers to the most central position where one would normally sit within the listening environment. MultEQ uses the measurements from this position to calculate speaker distance, level, polarity, and the optimum crossover value for the subwoofer. NOTE • Loud test sounds may be played during Audyssey MultEQ automatic speaker setup. This is part of normal operation. If there is background noise in room, these test signals will increase in volume. • Do not stand between the speakers and setup microphone or allow obstacles in the path while the measurements are being made. This will cause inaccurate readings. • Make the room as quiet as possible. Background noise can disrupt the room measurements. Close windows, silence cell phones, televisions, radios, air conditioners, fluorescent lights, home appliances, light dimmers, or other devices as measurements may be affected by these sounds. Cell phones should be placed away from all audio electronics during the measurement process as Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) may cause measurement disruptions (even if the cell phone is not in use).
