Getting Started Connections Setup Playback Remote Control Multi-Zone Information Troubleshooting Auto Setup Preparations 1 Connect the included calibrated setup microphone to the SETUP MIC jack on the main unit. The auto setup screen appears automatically. • Audyssey MultEQ® XT automatically measures the acoustical problems in the listening environment to create the best audio experience for your home theater. • It optimizes a large listening area where one or more listeners are seated. Measurements are performed by placing the calibrated microphone (DM-A405) successively at multiple positions throughout the listening area as shown in Example q. For best results, it is strongly recommended to measure 6 or more positions so that the measurements have the proper spatial weighting. Even if the listening environment is small as shown in Example w, measuring at multiple points throughout the listening environment results in more effective correction. Sound receptor 2 Place the microphone at ear height on a tripod or stand with the microphone pointing directly up towards the ceiling. Example q Example w ( :Measuring positions) Setup microphone b It is not recommended to hold it in your hand. Be sure that the *M *M path from microphone to the speakers is not blocked by objects. Avoid placing the microphone close to a seat back or wall as sound reflections may give inaccurate results. 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 XT uses the measurements from this position to calculate speaker distance, level, polarity, and the optimum crossover value for the subwoofer. To make manual adjustments to the settings, see pages 28, 29. When using a subwoofer, make the following settings before starting the auto setup procedure: • Defeat the volume and crossover controls if possible • If this is not possible then set • Volume: "12 o'clock" position • Crossover frequency: "Maximum/Highest Frequency" • Low pass filter: "Off" • Standby mode: "Off" NOTE • Do not disconnect the setup microphone until the auto setup procedure is completed. • When using headphones, unplug the headphones before starting the auto setup procedure.
