First Time Setup—Continued
With the supplied speaker setup microphone, the
Audyssey MultEQ XT function can measure the number
of speakers connected, their sizes, crossover frequencies,
and the distance from each speaker to the listening posi-
tion and calculate the optimal speaker settings for your
listening environment automatically.
Before using this function, connect and position all of
your speakers.
Measurement Positions
To create a listening environment in which several peo-
ple can enjoy your home theater simultaneously, Audys-
sey MultEQ XT takes measurements at up to eight
positions within the listening area.
■ 1st measurement point
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.
