Auto Setup
When this unit is upgraded, the “Auto Setup” contents are returned to the default settings.
The acoustic characteristics of the connected speakers and listening room are measured and the optimum settings are made automatically.This is called “Auto Setup”.
To perform measurement, place the setup microphone in multiple locations all around the listening area. For best results, we recommend you measure in six or more positions, as shown in the illustration (up to eight positions).
• When performing Auto Setup, Audyssey MultEQ® XT 32/Dynamic |
EQ®/Dynamic Volume® functions become active (vpage 41, 42). |
• To set up the speakers manually, use “Manual Setup” – “Speaker |
About setup microphone placement
•Measurements are performed by placing the setup microphone successively at multiple positions throughout the entire listening area, as shown in GExample qH. For best results, we recommend you measure in six or more positions, as shown in the illustration (up to eight positions).
•Even if the listening environment is small as shown in GExample wH, measuring at multiple points throughout the listening environment results in more effective correction.
Getting Started Connections
When configuring the “Auto Setup” settings, refer to this version of the Owner's Manual instead of the “Original version”.

NOTE
• Make the room as quiet as possible. Background noise can disrupt |
the room measurements. Close windows, silence cell phones, |
televisions, radios, air conditioners, fluorescent lights, home |
appliances, light dimmers, or other devices as measurements may |
be affected by these sounds. |
• Cell phones should be placed away from all audio electronics during |
the measurement process as Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) |
may cause measurement disruptions (even if the cell phone is not in |
use). |
• Do not unplug the setup microphone from the main unit until Auto |
Setup is completed. |

Setup Other Operations
• Do not stand between the speakers and setup microphone or allow |
obstacles in the path while the measurements are being made. This |
will cause inaccurate readings. |
• Loud test sounds may be played during Auto Setup. This is part of |
normal operation. If there is background noise in room, these test |
signals will increase in volume. |
• Operating the MASTER VOLUME knob or main remote control |
VOL +/– button during measurement cancels the measurement. |
• Measurement cannot be performed when headphones are connected. |
Before performing Auto Setup, disconnect the headphone plug. |

n About the main listening position (*M)
The main listening position is the position where listeners would normally sit or where one would normally sit alone within the listening environment. Before starting Auto Setup, place the setup microphone in the main listening position. MultEQ® XT 32 uses the measurements from this position to calculate speaker distance, level, polarity, and the optimum crossover value for the subwoofer.
