Audyssey MultEQ corrects acoustical distortions within the listening area. Before starting, connect and position all of your speakers. Once started, MultEQ will play a series of test tones through each speaker. b Before starting Auto Setup (vq) If adjustment to the environment is necessary, set the following items before proceeding. n Front Speaker The front speaker to be measured can be selected ahead of time here. [Selectable items] A : Output test tone from front speakers A. B : Output test tone from front speakers B. A+B : Output test tone from front speakers A and B.

Step 5: Store 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). • Operating MASTER VOLUME during the measurements will cancel the measurements. n Amp Assign Advanced setting : changes power amplifier assignment. You can use the surround back speaker for multi-zone, and for front channel bi-amp use. (Default : ZONE2) For details, refer to "Amp Assign" (vpage 35). • If an error message appears during the measurements, check "Error Messages", take the advised action, then start the measurements again (vpage 28). • If the result differs from the actual connection status or an error message appears, use i to on-screen display "Retry 0" and then press o to repeat the measurement. • If the result still differs from the actual connection status after re-measurement or the error message still appears, it is possible that the speakers are not connected properly. Turn the AVR-1909 off, check the speaker connections and repeat the measurement process from the beginning. NOTE Do not change the speaker connections or subwoofer volume after "Step 1".
