Start

Start Auto Setup.
The Audyssey MultEQ XT Auto Setup process automatically calculates
the size, level, distance, bass management crossover frequency, and
optimal settings for each speaker and subwoofer. Audyssey MultEQ
XT corrects acoustical distortions within the listening area.
Before starting, connect and position all your speakers.
Once started, MultEQ XT will play a series of test tones through each
speaker.

If an error message appears during the measurements, check “Error
Messages” (vpage 29), take the advised action, then start the
measurements again.

Setting the correct speaker confi guration can reduce the time required
to measure during the auto setup procedure as the system will not
have to look for speakers that are not connected.

STEP1 : Speaker Detection

Amp Assign

Advanced setting : changes power amplifi er assignment.

NOTE

The items selectable at “Confi guration” differ according to the “Amp
Assign” settings.

The speaker connection and polarity are detected at the fi rst
measurement position. The following attributes are also determined
at this time: “Speaker Size”, “Speaker Distance”, “Channel Level”,
“Crossover Frequency”.
Once the measurements are completed, the results are displayed.

NOTE

• Loud test tone may be played during Audyssey MultEQ XT Automatic

Speaker Setup. This is part of normal operation. If there is background
noise in room, these test tones will increase in volume.

• Do not stand between the speakers and setup microphone or allow

obstacles in the path while the measurements are being made. This
will cause inaccurate readings.

• Quiet the listening environment before beginning measurements and

refrain from talking. Turn off air conditioning units or other devices
that emit noise if at all possible as measurements may be affected
by these sounds.

• Operating the

MASTER VOLUME

knob on the main unit or the

VOL

+/–

buttons on the remote control unit during the measurements will

cancel the measurements.

• Do not change the speaker connections or subwoofer volume after

“STEP1”.

STEP2: Measurement

STEP3: Calculation

After completing a measurement position, move the microphone to
the next position.

Measure at least 6 positions (main listening position and at least 5 other
surrounding positions). For best results it is recommend measuring 6
or more positions
(with a maximum of 8 positions).

NOTE

Do not turn the power off while the settings are being stored.

When “Calculate” is selected at “STEP2”, the measurements taken
are analyzed automatically to determine how the speaker system
interacts with the room.

The time required for this analysis depends on the number of speakers
connected. The higher the number of speakers, the longer the time
required for analysis.

STEP4: Check

Once the auto setup procedure is complete, a measuring result check
screen appears.
Select any item whose results you want to check to review the
results.

Values that are different from the actual distance may be set for
speakers with built-in fi lters (subwoofers, etc.). This is because fi lters
add electrical delay to the signal that should be compensated.

STEP5: Store

The auto setup measurement results are stored in the AVR-5308CI.

Subwoofer

The confi guration of the measuring subwoofer can be selected
beforehand.
