Basic version Advanced version Settings Here, we explain "Audyssey® Setup", which allows you to automatically make the optimal settings for your speakers, and "Network", which allows you to connect this unit to a home network (LAN). This unit lets you play via your home network (LAN) music files stored on a computer and music content such as that from Internet radio. nn Speaker connection (vpage 70) nn Set up speakers (Audyssey® Setup) (vpage 20) nn Making the network settings (Network) (vpage 26) Playback (Basic operation) (vpage 27) Selecting a listening mode (Sound Mode) (vpage 64) Playback (Advanced operation) (vpage 73) Set up speakers (Audyssey® Setup) The acoustic characteristics of the connected speakers and listening room are measured and the optimum settings are made automatically. This is called "Audyssey® 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 positions, as shown in the illustration (up to six positions). • When performing Audyssey® Setup, Audyssey MultEQ®/ Audyssey Dynamic EQ®/Audyssey Dynamic Volume® functions become active (vpage 84). • To set up the speakers manually, use "Speakers" (vpage 93) on the menu. 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 unplug the setup microphone from the main unit until Audyssey® 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. • During the measurement process, loud test sounds may be played, but this is part of normal operation. If there is background noise in room, these test signals will increase in volume. • Operating VOLUME df on the remote control unit or MASTER 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. 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® 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. v See overleaf Information 20
