Notes • The speakers emit very loud sound during the calibration and the volume cannot be adjusted. Provide consideration to your neighborhood and to the children in presence. • If the muting function has been activated before you perform Auto Calibration, the muting function will shut off automatically. • The correct measurements may not be able to take or Auto Calibration cannot be performed when special speakers, such as dipole speakers are used. Setting up the Auto Calibration Optimizer microphone 3 Set up the optimizer microphone. Place the optimizer microphone at your seating position. Use a stool or tripod so that the optimizer microphone remains at the same height as your ears. Confirm active subwoofer setup • When a subwoofer is connected, turn on the subwoofer and turn up the volume prior to activating the subwoofer. Turn the LEVEL to just before the mid-point. • If you connect a subwoofer with a crossover frequency function, set the value to maximum. • If you connect a subwoofer with an auto standby function, set it to off (deactivated). Example of using surround back speakers Note Depending on the characteristics of the subwoofer you are using, the setup distance value may be different from the actual position. 1 Select the speaker pattern (page 32). If you connect front high speakers, select the speaker pattern that has front high speakers (5/x.x or 4/x.x) each time you perform Auto Calibration. Otherwise, the characteristics of the front high speakers cannot be measured. 2 Connect the supplied optimizer microphone to the AUTO CAL MIC jack. 34GB
