Before you perform the Auto Calibration, set
up and connect the speakers (page 14–16).
• The AUTO CAL MIC jack is used for the

supplied optimizer microphone only. Do not
connect other microphones to this jack.
Doing so may damage the receiver and the
microphone.

• During the measurement, the sound that

comes out of the speakers is very loud. The
volume of the sound cannot be adjusted. Pay
attention to the presence of children or to the
effect on your neighborhood.

• Perform the measurement in a quiet

environment to avoid the effect of noise and
get a more accurate measurement.

• If there are any obstacles in the path between

the optimizer microphone and the speakers,
the calibration cannot be performed
correctly. Remove any obstacles from the
measurement area to avoid measurement
error.

Note

The Auto Calibration function does not work in the
following cases.
– Headphones are connected
– SPEAKERS (OFF/A/B/A+B) is set to off.

1

Connect the supplied optimizer
microphone to the AUTO CAL
MIC jack.

2

Set up the optimizer
microphone.

Place the optimizer microphone at your
listening position. Use a stool or tripod so
that the optimizer microphone remains at
the same height as your ears.

On setting up the active
subwoofer

• When a subwoofer is connected, turn on the

subwoofer and turn up the volume
beforehand. Turn the MASTER VOLUME
to just before the mid-point.

• If you connect a subwoofer with a crossover

frequency function, set the value to the
maximum.

• If you connect a subwoofer with an auto

standby function, set it to off (deactivated).

Note

Depending on the characteristics of the subwoofer
you are using, the setup distance value may be
further away from the actual position.
