When selecting the Auto Setup

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.

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 50, "When selecting the Speaker Crossover" on page 51, "When selecting the Speaker Distance" on page 52 and "When Selecting the Channel Level" on page 53.

After the auto setup has been completed, set the room EQ as desired. (For details, refer to "When selecting the Room EQ" on page 49.)

Preparations

. 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.

. Connect the supplied microphone to the SETUP MIC jack on the front panel.(For details, refer to "SETUP MIC JACK" on page 14.)

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.
