To set the speaker setup automatically(Auto Speaker Setup)

To set the speaker setup manually(Manual Speaker Setup)

Note:

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

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 MANUAL SPEAKER SETUP” procedure on page 43, “Adjusting each channel level with test tone” procedure on page 32 and “Adjusting the current channel level”on page 33.

Preparations

1. Connect the supplied microphone to the SETUP MIC

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

jack on the rear panel,(For details, refer to

normal listening position.

“CONNECTING MICROPHONE” on page 10)

• 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.
