ENGLISH DEUTSCH FRANÇAIS ITALIANO ESPAÑOL NEDERLANDS 4 Set up speakers (Audyssey® Auto Setup) SVENSKA 1 2345 The acoustic characteristics of the connected speakers and listening room are measured and the optimum settings are made automatically. This is called "Audyssey Auto Setup". To perform measurement, place the setup microphone in multiple locations all around the listening area. For best results, we recommend you measure in six or more positions, as shown in the illustration (up to eight positions). • When performing Audyssey Auto Setup, MultEQ® XT/ Dynamic EQ®/Dynamic Volume® functions become active (vpage 74, 75). • To set up the speakers manually, use "Speaker Setup" (vpage 78) on the menu. NOTE • 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). • Do not unplug the setup microphone from the main unit until Audyssey Auto Setup is completed. • 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. • Loud test sounds may be played during Audyssey Auto setup. This is part of normal operation. If there is background noise in room, these test signals will increase in volume. • Operating VOLUME +, - during the measurements will cancel the measurements. • Measurement cannot be performed when headphones are connected. 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 or more positions, as shown in the illustration (up to eight 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® XT uses the measurements from this position to calculate speaker distance, level, polarity, and the optimum crossover value for the subwoofer. 1 Prepare the setup microphone Mount the setup microphone on a tripod or stand and place it in the main listening position. When placing the setup microphone, adjust the height of the sound receptor to the level of the listener's ear.

For the installing, connecting, and setup methods of speakers other than the 7.1-channel system (with surround back speakers), see page 48.
