Contents Connections Playback Settings Tips Appendix Speakers The acoustic characteristics of the connected speakers and listening room are measured and the optimum settings are made automatically. This is called "Audyssey® Setup". You do not have to perform Audyssey® Setup when you have already performed Speaker Calibration in Setup Assistant. To set up the speakers manually, use "Manual Setup" (vpage 167) on the menu. Audyssey® Setup To perform measurement, place the Setup and measurement 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® Setup, Audyssey MultEQ® XT/Audyssey Dynamic EQ®/Audyssey Dynamic Volume® functions become active (vpage 145, 146). NOTE • Make the room as quiet as possible. Background noise can disrupt the room measurements. Close windows and turn off the power on electronic devices (TVs, radios, air conditioners, fluorescent lights, etc.). The measurements could be affected by the sounds emitted by such devices. • During the measurement process, place cell phones outside the listening room. Cell phone signals could disrupt the measurements. • Do not stand between the speakers and Setup and measurement microphone or allow obstacles in the path while the measurements are being made. Do not hold the Setup and measurement microphone in your hand during measurements. This will cause inaccurate readings. • During the measurement process, audible test tones will come from the speakers and subwoofer(s), but this is part of normal operation. If there is background noise in the room, these test signals will increase in volume. • Operating VOLUME df on the remote control unit or VOLUME on the main unit during the measurements will cancel the measurements. • Measurement cannot be performed when headphones are connected. Unplug the headphones before performing Audyssey® Setup. Front panel Display Rear panel 158 Remote Index
