Notes:

Make sure the microphone is horizontal.

If there’s an obstacle between the micro- phone and any speaker, the automatic setup will not work correctly. Set up the room as you would when enjoying a DVD.

Positioning the microphone close to where your ears would normally be will provide better results. You can adjust the height of the microphone by using a tripod or level table.

Press [ENTER].

 

The automatic speaker setup starts.

A test tone is output by each speaker in turn, as the Audyssey 2EQ function determines which speakers are connected. This takes a few min- utes.

Note:

If any extraneous noise is picked up by the microphone, the automatic setup may not work correctly, so don’t make any noise.

Notes:

If the AV receiver was previously muted, it will be unmuted.

Automatic speaker setup cannot be performed while a pair of headphones is connected.

It takes about 10 minutes to complete the auto- matic speaker setup.
