NOTE

Loud test sounds may be played during Audyssey MultEQ automatic speaker setup. This is part of normal operation. If there is background noise in room, these test signals will increase in volume.

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.

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).

Operating MASTER VOLUME during the measurements will cancel the measurements.

About the Auto Setup

The Audyssey MultEQ auto setup function detects the presence of each speaker and automatically calculates the speaker size, channel level, distance, and optimal crossover frequency setting. Audyssey MultEQ corrects acoustical distortions within the listening area.

Before starting, connect and position all of your speakers.

Once started, MultEQ will play a series of test tones through each speaker.

If an error message appears during the measurements, check “Error Messages”, take the advised action, then start the measurements again (vpage 28).

nFront Speaker

The front speaker to be measured can be selected ahead of time here.

[Selectable items]

A: Output test tone from front speakers A.

B: Output test tone from front speakers B.

A+B : Output test tone from front speakers A and B.

nAmp Assign

Advanced setting : changes power amplifier assignment. For details, refer to “Amp Assign” (vpage 35).
