Setup, Set up speakers (audyssey® setup) – Marantz NR1604 User Manual

The acoustic characteristics of the connected speakers and
listening room are measured and the optimum settings are made
automatically. This is called “Audyssey® Setup”.
To perform measurement, place the Setup and measurement
microphone in multiple locations all around the listening area.
For best results, we recommend you measure in six positions, as
shown in the illustration (up to six positions).
• When performing Audyssey® Setup, Audyssey MultEQ®/
Audyssey Dynamic EQ®/Audyssey Dynamic Volume® functions
become active (
).
• To set up the speakers manually, use “Speakers” (
)
on the menu.
NOTE
• Make the room as quiet as possible. Background noise can disrupt
the room measurements. Close windows and turn off the power on
electronic devices (TVs, radios, air conditioners, fluorescent lights,
etc.). The measurements could be affected by the sounds emitted
by such devices.
• During the measurement process, place cell phones outside the
listening room. Cell phone signals could disrupt the measurements.
• Do not unplug the Setup and measurement microphone from the
main unit until Audyssey® Setup is completed.
• Do not stand between the speakers and Setup and measurement
microphone or allow obstacles in the path while the measurements
are being made. This will cause inaccurate readings.
• During the measurement process, audible test tones will come from
the speakers and subwoofer(s), but this is part of normal operation.
If there is background noise in the room, these test signals will
increase in volume.
• Operating
VOLUME
df
on the remote
control unit or
VOLUME
on the main unit
during the measurements will cancel the
measurements.
• Measurement cannot be performed when
headphones are connected. Unplug the
headphones before performing Audyssey®
Setup.
Setup
Here, we explain “Audyssey® Setup”, which allows you to automatically
make the optimal settings for your speakers, and “Network”, which
allows you to connect this unit to a home network (LAN).
This unit lets you play via your home network (LAN) music files stored
on a computer and music content such as that from Internet Radio.

About Setup and measurement
microphone placement
• Measurements are performed by placing the Setup and measurement
microphone successively at multiple positions throughout the entire
listening area, as shown in GExample qH. For best results, we
recommend you measure in six positions, as shown in the illustration
(up to six positions).
• Even if the listening environment is small as shown in GExample wH,
measuring at multiple points throughout the listening environment
results in more effective correction.

About the main listening position (*M)
The main listening position is the position where listeners would
normally sit or where one would normally sit alone within the listening
environment. Before starting Audyssey® Setup, place the Setup and
measurement microphone in the main listening position. Audyssey
MultEQ® uses the measurements from this position to calculate
speaker distance, level, polarity, and the optimum crossover value for
the subwoofer.
