Getting Started Connections Setup Playback Remote Control Multi-Zone Information Troubleshooting ENGLISH 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. Auto Setup Optimize settings for speakers in use. a Auto Setup The settings found at this stage are applied automatically. GAuto setup flowH Step1: Speaker Detection Step2: Measurement Start Press o to start the MultEQ Auto Setup. The Audyssey MultEQ Auto Setup process automatically calculates the size, level, distance, bass management crossover frequency, and optimal settings for each speaker and subwoofer. Audyssey MultEQ corrects acoustical distortions within the listening area. Before starting, connect and position all your speakers. Once started, MultEQ will play a series of test tones through each speaker. If an error message appears during the measurements, check "Error Messages", take the advised action, then start the measurements again (vpage 21). Step 1 : Speaker Detection The speaker connection and polarity are detected at the first measurement position. The following attributes are also determined at this time: "Speaker Size", "Speaker Distance", "Channel Level", "Crossover Frequency". Once the measurements are completed, "Sp Detect Check" is displayed. Press ENTER to check the results of the speaker detection. Example : 7.1-channel systems Speaker:3/4/.1 Subwoofer Surround and Surround back speakers 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. • Quiet the listening environment before beginning measurements and refrain from talking. Turn off air conditioning units or other devices that emit noise if at all possible as measurements may be affected by these sounds. • Operating MASTER VOLUME during the measurements will cancel the measurements. • Do not change the speaker connections or subwoofer volume after "Step 1". Step 2 : Measurement q Press i to select "2nd Start", then press o. • Measures the 2nd measurement position. w Move the microphone to the 3rd point and press o. • Measures the 3rd measurement position. e Perform w repeatedly. • To measure the remaining measurement positions. After completing a measurement position, move the microphone to the next position. Measure at 6 positions: the main listening position and 5 other surrounding positions. Although it is allowable to measure less than 6 positions, it is recommended to measure 6 for best results. Front and Center speakers Step3: Calculation Step4: Check Step5: Store • If the results are not as expected or if an error message is displayed, address any error as required, select "Retry" and perform the measurement again. • If the results of measurement are still not as expected or an error message is displayed, turn off the power switch and check the speaker connections. Then start measurements again from the beginning. 0
