When selecting the AUTO SPEAKER SETUP

Auto Speaker Setup lets you avoid troublesome listening-based speaker setup and achieve good surround sound. You should connect the supplied microphone to the SETUP MIC jack so that this receiver can analyze the information from a series of test tones emitted from speakers and can adjust the size, distance and sound level of each speaker automatically.

If you want to personalize your speaker setup and channel level setup by making the settings manually, perform the “When selecting the SPEAKER CONFIGURATION” procedure on page 44, “When selecting the SPEAKER DISTANCE” procedure on page 45, “Adjusting each channel level with test tone” and “Adjusting the current channel levels” procedures on page 32.

Preparations

1.Connect the supplied microphone to the SETUP MIC jack on the rear panel.(For details, refer to “CONNECTING MICROPHONE” on page 12.)

Note:

After you have completed the auto speaker setup procedure, be sure to disconnect the microphone.

2.Place the microphone on a flat level surface at your normal listening position.

If possible, use a tripod, etc. to attach the microphone at the same height as your ears would be when you are seated in your listening position.

Ensure there are no obstacles between the speakers and the

microphone.

3.For the speakers to be set to “Small”, select the desired crossover frequency performing the “CROSSOVER FREQ.” procedure.(For details, refer to “When selecting the CROSSOVER FREQUENCY” on page 48.)

Loud test tones are output from each speaker and then if auto speaker setup procedure has been completed, the results of each adjustment will be displayed.

Each time the ENTER button is pressed, the auto speaker setup procedure will start or stop.

If there may be a problem with speaker or microphone connection, error message will be displayed. In this case, turn off the power, check the connection as illustrated in error message and then retry the auto speaker setup procedure.

Notes:

For your reference, other channel levels displayed are the relative levels as compared with FL channel, not adjusted levels.

Depending on “SUBWOOFER” settings, etc., some channels may be excluded. (For details, refer to “SETTING THE SPEAKER SETUP” on page 44.)

Because the test tones are loud, ensure there no infants or small children in the room.

For best results, ensure the room is as quiet as possible during the auto speaker setup procedure. If there is too much ambient noise, the results may not be satisfactory.

If the results are not satisfactory, you can also personalize your speaker setup and channel level setup by making the settings manually.(For details, refer to “When selecting the SPEAKER CONFIGURATION” on page 44, “When selecting the SPEAKER DISTANCE” on page 45, “Adjusting each channel level with test tone” and “Adjusting the current channel levels”on page 32.)
