• You can also perform automatic speaker detection only (á page 10).
• Speaker placement, speaker directions and other conditions
may prevent correct setting.
• The unit sets the lowpass filter frequency at the value of the
speaker capable of reproducing the lowest frequency signal
among speakers judged as “SMALL”.
• When left and right speakers differ in size, they are set as “SMALL”.
• When surround speakers and surround back speakers differ in
size, they are set as “SMALL”.
• Left and right front speakers are set as “ LARGE ” even if their
size is “SMALL” when you perform the auto speaker setup
without connecting the subwoofer.
• The connection status is set and the level is adjusted for the subwoofer.
• The unit does not detect or correct polarity of left and right
front speakers when you select “ YES ” in “Making bi-wire
setting” (á page 20).
• HDAVI Control (á page 13) does not work during the auto
speaker setup.
• The auto speaker setup is unavailable while muting (á page 29) is on.

Speaker size
• LARGE: Speakers that can sufficiently reproduce the bass
range down to 20 Hz.
• SMALL: Speakers that do not satisfy the requirements for
LARGE speakers.
You can perform steps instructed in “Setting speakers and their
sizes” (á page 33) to change speaker sizes set automatically.
Lowpass filter
When the speaker size is “SMALL”, the unit cannot sufficiently
reproduce the bass range.
You can set the lowpass filter frequency according to the
playback frequency range and arrange the unit to output the
missing bass range from the subwoofer.
With the setup microphone, the unit automatically sets the following.
STEP1
STEP2
STEP3
DISTANCE : The unit measures the distance between each speaker and the seating area and corrects the sound delay
in the seating area. The maximum speaker distance for correcting the delay is 15 meters.
POLARITY : The unit checks the polarity of each speaker and, when the polarity is wrong, corrects it.
Select “
CHECK NO ” in “Setting the unit against automatic polarity adjustment” (á page 34) before starting the auto
speaker setup when you do not want the unit to adjust polarity automatically.
SIZE / FREQUENCY : The unit measures acoustic characteristics of the room including speaker characteristics (size
and lowpass filter settings) and adjusts them.
LEVEL : The unit checks the output level of each speaker and makes adjustment.
