Auto speaker setup
Auto speaker setup allows you to achieve a satisfactory listening environment easily with the use of the supplied calibration microphone as a detector of sound signals. The unit will first perform automatic speaker detection, then checks and adjusts the following settings.
Automatic speaker detection | • | Checks which speakers you have connected. |
(This can also be performed in | • | The factory setting is 7 speakers and a subwoofer. |

|
|
|
|
|
DISTANCE | • | Checks the distance of each speaker from the listening position and adjusts the timing of each |
| channel. For manual setup, “Distance”, ➡ page 27. | |
|
| |
|
|
|
POLARITY | • | Checks the polarity of each speaker. You can choose not to have polarity checked, “Auto |
| setup”, ➡ page 27. | |
|
| |
|
|
|
SIZE | • | Checks the speaker’s frequency response. For manual setup, “Speaker and size settings”, |
| ➡ page 27. |
•The front speakers are set to SMALL if the unit determines that they are different sizes.
•Sets the appropriate low frequency crossover for each channel according to the speaker size.
FREQUENCY |
| For manual setup, | |
• | The setting is based on the speaker with the lowest bass reproduction range. | ||
| |||
| • | Also checks on “Level” setting to adjust the sound level (volume) for each speaker. | |
|
|
| |
LEVEL | • | Makes any further corrections to the volume of each speaker (for manual setup, “Speaker output | |
| and level” ➡ page 17) and also to the frequency response. | ||
|
|
Loud test tones are output from the speakers during setup, so keep children out of the room.
Before setup
•Conduct the auto speaker setup in a quiet environment. A noisy background will give unsatisfactory results.
•Put the subwoofer in position, switch it on, and sets its volume to the level you would normally use. If you do auto speaker setup without the subwoofer, the front speakers will be set as large, possibly resulting in an unsatisfactory bass.
