SETTING THE SPEAKER / ROOM EQ SETUP
When selecting the AUTO SETUP
• Auto Setup lets you avoid troublesome listening-based speaker setup and achieve good surround sound. Auto Setup
has the feature that provides the optimum listening environment at two main listening positions in your room, where
there are often multiple listeners viewing programs together.
You should connect the supplied microphone to the SETUP MIC jack so that this receiver can analyze the information
from a series of test tones emitted from speakers at two main listening positions and can adjust the size, distance,
sound level, crossover frequency and frequency response of each speaker automatically.
For optimum effectiveness, move the microphone from first position to second position within the listening
area surrounded by the speakers while performing the auto setup.
About the first listening position
The first listening position is the point where a listener sits most often or the listening position when only one person is
listening. Measurements start from this point.
• If you want to personalize your speaker setup and channel level setup by making the settings manually, perform the
"When selecting the SPEAKER CONFIGURATION" on page 45, "When selecting the SPEAKER DISTANCE" on page
47, "When selecting the SPEAKER X-OVER" on page 48, "Adjusting each channel level with test tone" on page 26 and
"Adjusting the current channel level" on page 27.
• After the auto setup has been completed, set the room EQ mode as desired. (For details, refer to "When selecting the
ROOM EQ" on page 49.)
Preparations
1. Check that the speakers are securely connected to this
receiver.
• If your subwoofer has adjustable volume and
crossover frequency, set the volume halfway and set
the crossover frequency to the maximum or the low
pass filter off.
2. Connect the supplied microphone to the SETUP MIC
jack on the front panel.(For details, refer to "SETUP
MIC JACK" on page 14.)
Notes :
• Because the microphone for Auto Setup is designed for
use with this receiver, to use the auto setup function, do
not use a microphone other than the one supplied with
this receiver.
• After you have completed the auto setup procedure,
disconnect the microphone.
ENGLISH
• If possible, use a tripod, etc. to attach the microphone at the same height as your ears would be when you are seated
in your listening position.
• Ensure there are no obstacles between the speakers and the microphone.
