4. Connect the supplied setup microphone to the Setup Mic input jack
on the lower right of the front panel.
5. Position the microphone as close as possible to the position your
head will usually be in when you are listening.
You can simply hold the microphone a foot or so in front of your face, or
for the most accurate setup, move over one seat and hold the microphone
where your head would be if you were sitting in your favorite chair.
The setup microphone has a standard 1/4-20 threaded socket on the
bottom, so it can be mounted on a photo or video tripod. If you have a
tripod handy, you may find it easier to place the mic on the tripod than
to hold the mic in place during the setup procedure. Using a tripod will
also let you leave the room during setup, so you do not have to listen
to the loud test tones.

running the auto setup. After auto setup, be sure to reconfigure the
subwoofer’s crossover option to your desired behavior.
Manual System Setup
Although the Model 990’s automatic setup procedure provides accurate cali-
bration of channel balance and delay, some enthusiasts may wish to adjust
these functions manually. Setup can be performed from the front panel or the
remote control, but either way, you will need to turn on your video display so
you can see the Model 990’s on-screen display.
