ENGLISH NAMES AND FUNCTION CONNECTIONS SETUP BASIC OPERATION 2-1 AUTO SETUP (MultEQ™ SETUP) The AUTO SETUP (MultEQ™ Setup) feature of the unit measures sound characteristics of the speaker system and room where the unit is used and automatically optimizes settings. The Audyssey MultEQ™ technology adopted by this unit provides the best listening environment for multiple listeners. To do this, the AUTO SETUP feature measures a test tone emitted by each channel in a maximum of 6 listening positions, using the supplied microphone. The measurement results are analyzed using an original algorithm and environmental settings are made to improve the sound characteristics of the listening area. To set up the speaker system (i.e., adjusting speaker distance, etc.) without using the AUTO SETUP feature, see "MANUAL SETUP" on page 30 of the manual. HOW TO PERFORM AUTO SETUP During measurement, the OSD menu displays the condition, therefore turn power to the monitor on. 1. Connect the speakers, power amp of a MM8003 or other amp to this unit and place the speakers in suitable locations. 2. Connect the supplied microphone to the MIC jack on the unit.

Set the microphone in the listening position. Notes: • Measurement can be done in a maximum of 6 listening positions. For the first measurement, set the microphone in the main listening position. • Use a stand or tripod to position the microphone at ear height in the listening position. • Remove any obstructions between the speakers and microphone. • To use the internal subwoofer of the amp, set the volume to the middle point and set the crossover frequency to the highest. • During measurement, step away from the microphone and operate the unit via the remote controller from a position that is out of the path of the speaker sound. • The test tone output from the speakers during measurement is loud. Be mindful of neighbors and watch out for small children. 4. Select "2.

AUTO SETUP SPEAKERS CHECK:-1st MIC POSITION NOW ANALYZING !! CANCEL EXIT Note: • The detection check measures the state of use of all speakers whether actually used or not. For example, if the center speaker is not used, the test tone will require time to go from the L-channel to the R-channel, therefore be careful not to unplug the microphone or operate this unit during this time. 7.
