Auto speaker setup allows you to achieve a satisfactory listening environment easily with the use of the supplied calibration
microphone as a detector of sound signals. The unit will first perform automatic speaker detection, then checks and adjusts the
following settings.

Process for auto speaker setup
Connect the calibration microphone to the [SETUP
MIC] jack on the front panel.
The calibration microphone is sensitive to heat. Keep it away from direct

Note
Before setup
Conduct the auto speaker setup in a quiet environment. A noisy background will give unsatisfactory results.
Put the subwoofer in position, switch it on, and sets its volume to the level you would normally use. If you do auto speaker setup
without the subwoofer, the front speakers will be set as large, possibly resulting in an unsatisfactory bass.
