Using Headphones

Connect a pair of stereo headphones with a stan- dard plug (1/4 inch or 6.3 mm) to the PHONES jack.

Note

Always turn down the volume before connecting your head- phones.

While the headphones plug is inserted in the PHONES jack, the speakers are turned off. (The Powered Zone 2 speakers are not turned off.)

When you connect a pair of headphones, the listening mode is set to Stereo, unless it’s already set to Stereo, Mono or Direct.

Only the Stereo, Direct and Mono listening modes can be used with headphones.

Audyssey 2EQ® Room Correction and Speaker Setup

With the supplied calibrated microphone, Audyssey 2EQ automatically determines the number of speakers con- nected, their size for purposes of bass management, opti- mum crossover frequencies to the subwoofer (if present), and distances from the primary listening position. Audyssey 2EQ then removes the distortion caused by room acoustics by capturing room acoustical problems over the listening area in both the frequency and time domain. The result is clear, well-balanced sound for every- one. Enabling Audyssey 2EQ allows you to also use Audyssey Dynamic EQ, which maintains the proper octave-to-octave balance at any volume level (39). Before using this function, connect and position all of your speakers.

If “Dynamic EQ” is set to “On” (39), the “Equalizer” setting will be set to “Audyssey” (37). On the other hand, if it is set to “Off”, the “Dynamic Volume” setting will be set to “Off” (39).

It takes about 15 minutes to complete Audyssey 2EQ for three positions. Total

measurement time varies depending on the number of speakers.
