Measurement Positions
To create a listening environment in your home theater
that all listeners will enjoy, Audysssey MultEQ
®
takes
measurements at up to eight positions within the lis-
tening area.
■ 1st measurement position
This is the center position of your listening area, or
the listening position if there’s only one listener.
■ 2nd–8th measurement positions
These are the other listening positions (i.e., the
places where the other listeners will sit). You can
measure up to eight 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.

while a pair of headphones is connected, or Speak-
ers B is selected.

• Do not disconnect the speaker setup microphone
during the automatic speaker setup, unless you
want to cancel the setup.
