ENGLISH NAMES AND FUNCTIONS CONNECTIONS BASIC OPERATION ADVANCED CONNECTIONS BASIC SETUP HOW TO PERFORM AUTO SETUP (AUDYSSEY MULTEQ®) During this setup process, a GUI menu displays important instructions. So be sure to connect and power on the monitor to view the GUI instructions. 1. Connect the supplied microphone to the SETUP MIC jack on the unit. 2. Set the microphone in the main listening position. 28 Notes • Up to 6 positions around the main listening position can be measured. For the first measurement, set the microphone in the main listening position. • Use a stand or tripod to position the microphone at ear height for all listening positions measured with the microphone tip pointing directly up to the ceiling. • Remove any obstructions between the speakers and microphone. • When using a powered subwoofer, set the level knob to the middle or 12 o'clock position. Set the crossover to off, or to its highest value. If the subwoofer has a standby, or sleep mode, disable it. Not doing so could affect the test signal which may result in inaccurate subwoofer measurements. • During measurements, do not stand between the microphone and the speakers. 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. 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). It is suggested to operate the AUTO SETUP via the remote controller rather than by front panel. • The test tones played through each channel increase level as needed in order to overcome ambient noise present in the listening environment and obtain the best signal to noise ratio. 3. Select "Speaker Setup" from the Main Menu, select "Auto Setup" with the 3/4 cursor buttons, and press the ENTER button to display the start screen. 4. Select the number of channels of the surround back speakers which are being used and whether height speakers are part of the system. When a 5.1-channel configuration is used for the speaker systems, select "NONE" (no surround back speakers and no front height speakers). (See page 21, 36.) Select "Start" with the 3/4 cursor buttons and press the ENTER button to start measurement.

"1st Mic Position Check" The main listening position refers to the most central position where one would normally sit within the listening environment. MultEQ uses the measurements from this position to calculate speaker distance, level, polarity, and the optimum crossover value for the subwoofer.
