Changing Source Component

When you want to operate the component that is not
assigned as the source component, you can assign it as the
source component. See the table for the default assign-
ment (

85).

Restoring Default

With the supplied calibrated microphone,
Audyssey MultEQ automatically determines the number
of speakers connected, their size for purposes of bass man-
agement, optimum crossover frequencies to the subwoofer
(if present), and distances from the primary listening posi-
tion.
Audyssey MultEQ then removes the distortion caused by
room acoustics by capturing room acoustical problems
over the listening area in both the frequency and time
domain. The result is clear, well-balanced sound for every-
one. Enabling Audyssey MultEQ allows you to also use
Audyssey Dynamic EQ

®

, which maintains the proper

octave-to-octave balance at any volume level (

50).

Before using this function, connect and position all of
your speakers.
If “Dynamic EQ” is set to “On” (

50), the Equalizer

setting will be set to “Audyssey” (

47). On the other

hand, if it is set to “Off”, the “Dynamic Volume” setting
will be set to “Off” (

51).

It takes about 30 minutes to complete Audyssey MultEQ
Room Correction and Speaker Setup for 6 positions. Total
measurement time varies depending on the number of
speakers.

Using Audyssey MultEQ

Using Audyssey MultEQ

®

to create a listening environ-

ment in your home theater that all listeners will enjoy,
Audyssey MultEQ takes measurements at up to six posi-
tions within the listening area. Position the microphone at
ear height of a seated listener with the microphone tip
pointed directly at the ceiling using a tripod. Do not hold
the microphone in your hand during measurements as this
will produce inaccurate results.

First measurement position
Also referred to as the Main Listening Position this
refers to the most central position where one would nor-
mally sit within the listening environment. MultEQ uses
the measurements from this position to calculate
speaker distance, level, polarity, and the optimum cross-
over value for the subwoofer.

Second

Sixth measurement positions

These are the other listening positions (i.e., the places
where the other listeners will sit). You can measure up
to six positions.

The following examples show some typical home theater
seating arrangements. Choose the one that best matches
yours, and position the microphone accordingly when
prompted.
