ENGLISH 2-1 AUTO SETUP (MultEQ™ SETUP) The AUTO SETUP (MultEQ™ Setup) feature of the SR6001 measures sound characteristics of the speaker system and room where the receiver is used and automatically optimizes settings. The Audyssey MultEQ™ technology adopted by the SR6001 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. Note: • A special microphone (ACM1, option) is needed to use the Audyssey MultiEQ function. Contact a Marantz Authorized Dealer or Customer Support regarding purchase of this microphone. To set up the speaker system (i.e., adjusting speaker distance, etc.) without using the AUTO SETUP feature, see "MANUAL SETUP" on page 35 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 supplied microphone to the MIC jack on the SR6001.

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 SR6001 via the remote control unit 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. 3. Either press the MultEQ™ button on the front panel of the SR6001 or select "2.
