Automatic Speaker Setup

(Audyssey MultEQ XT)

With the supplied speaker setup microphone, Audyssey MultEQ XT can measure the number of speakers con- nected, their sizes, crossover frequencies, and distances from the listening position and calculate the optimal speaker settings for you automatically.

Before using this function, connect and position all of your speakers.

Measurement Positions

To create a listening environment in which several people can enjoy your home theater simultaneously, Audyssey MultEQ XT takes measurements at up to eight positions within the listening area.

■1st measurement position

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.

•Do not disconnect the speaker setup microphone during the automatic speaker setup, unless you want to cancel the setup.

•Do not connect or disconnect any speakers during the automatic speaker setup.
