Insignia NS-HTIB51A 5.1 Channel Home Theater System Before using this function, connect and position all of your speakers. It takes about 15 minutes to complete the room correction and speaker setup for three positions. Total measurement time varies depending on the number of speakers. Using Audyssey 2EQ To create a listening environment in your home theater that all listeners can enjoy, Audyssey 2EQ takes measurements at up to three positions within the listening area. Position the microphone at ear height of a seated listener with the microphone tip pointed directly at the ceiling using a tripod. Do not hold the microphone in your hand during measurements as this produces inaccurate results. First measurement position (1)-Also referred to as the Main Listening Position this refers to the most central position where one would normally sit within the listening environment. 2EQ uses the measurements from this position to calculate speaker distance, level, polarity, and the optimum crossover value for the subwoofer. Second measurement position (2)-The right side of the listening area. Third measurement position (3)-The left side of the listening area. The distances from position 1 to 2 and 1 to 3 must be at least 3.3 feet (1 meter). TV Notes • • Make the room as quiet as possible. Background noise and Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) can disrupt the room measurements. Close windows, and turn off televisions, radios, air conditioners, fluorescent lights, home appliances, light dimmers, or other devices. Silence the cell phone (even if it is not in use) or place it away from all audio electronics.
