SETTING THE SPEAKER / ROOM EQ SETUP

•After you have installed this receiver and connected all the components, you should adjust the speaker settings for the optimum sound acoustics according to your environment and speaker layout.

•When performing the AUTO SETUP procedure, you need not perform the SPEAKER CONFIGURATION, SPEAKER DISTANCE, SPEAKER CROSSOVER and CH LEVEL SETUP procedures.

ENGLISH

When selecting the AUTO SETUP

•AUTO SETUP : To set the speaker setup and channel level setup automatically.

•SPEAKER CONFIGURATION : To adjust the speakers depending on whether they are connected or not.

•SPEAKER DISTANCE: To select the distance between the listening position and each speaker to set the delay time automatically for optimum surround playback.

•SPEAKER CROSSOVER : To select the desired crossover frequency.

•ROOM EQ SETUP : To select the desired room EQ mode.

•Auto Setup lets you avoid troublesome listening-based speaker setup and achieve good surround sound. Auto Setup has the feature that provides the optimum listening environment at the listening position in your room, where there are often multiple listeners viewing programs together.

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 at main listening position and can adjust the configuration, distance, sound level, crossover frequency and frequency response 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" on page 63, "When selecting the SPEAKER DISTANCE" on page 64, "When selecting the SPEAKER CROSSOVER" on page 65, "Adjusting each channel level with test tone" on page 37 and "Adjusting the current channel level" on page 38.

•After the auto setup has been completed, set the room EQ as desired. (For details, refer to "When selecting the ROOM EQ SETUP" on page 66.)

■Preparations

①. Check that the speakers are securely connected to this receiver.

•If your subwoofer has adjustable volume and crossover frequency, set the volume halfway and set the crossover frequency to the maximum or the low pass filter off.

②. Connect the supplied microphone to the SETUP MIC jack on the front panel.(For details, refer to "SETUP MIC JACK" on page 17.)

■Notes :

•Because the microphone for Auto Setup is designed for use with this receiver, to use the auto setup function, do not use a microphone other than the one supplied with this receiver.

•After you have completed the auto setup procedure, disconnect the microphone.

1. Place the microphone on a flat level surface at the 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.
