IROOM AUTO SETUP

The LR-8500 is one of the first receivers in its class to offer automated speaker setup and system calibration.

This process greatly simplifies the installation of your new receiver by using a series of test signals and the power of an advanced digital signal processing system to eliminate the need for manual adjustment of speaker "size", crossover, delay and output level settings. With ROOM AUTO SETUP your new receiver even alerts you to errors in speaker connections that prevent a speaker from functioning.

With ROOM AUTO SETUP you are able to calibrate your system in a fraction of the time it would take to enter the settings manually, and with results that rival those achieved with expensive test equipment and time-con- suming procedures.

The end result is a system calibration profile that enables your new receiver to deliver the best possible sound, no matter what type of speakers you have or what the dimensions of your listening room.

We recommend that you take advantage of the precision of ROOM AUTO SETUP to calibrate your system, but if desire you may also make any of the configuration set- tings manually, or trim the settings provided by ROOM AUTO SETUP by following the instructions.

If you wish to configure your manually, or if for some rea- son your ROOM AUTO SETUP microphone is unavailable, you may still do so by following the instructions.

Step 1: ROOM AUTO SETUP requires that your listening room have as little background noise as possible to avoid interfering with the measurement of tones produced by your LR-8500 during the setup procedure. Turn off all loud fans, air conditioners and other equipment, and try to avoid making any noise during the process.

Step 2: The ROOM AUTO SETUP microphone should be placed in either your usual listening position or, if there is a large seating area, the center of the room, at the listen- ers' ear level. You may find it convenient to use a camera tripod for stable placement of the ROOM AUTO SETUP microphone at the correct height. The microphone includes a threaded insert on the bottom for tripod mounting.

Step 3: Plug the ROOM AUTO SETUP microphone into the LR-8500's Headphone Jack, making certain that the mini- plug to 1/4" phone plug adaptor supplied with the micro-
