SYSTEM SETUP

D H F G

The AVR-2807’s auto setup and room equalizer functions use the attached microphone to measure the acoustic properties in the room and automatically make the optimum settings.

The optimum listening environment at all listening positions in the home theater is achieved so multiple listeners can enjoy listening at the same time.

As shown in Example q, as you make the measurements, move the microphone successively to the different positions in which the members of the family sit within the listening area surrounded by the speakers. For best results, make the measurements at 6 locations.

Even if the home theater is only used by a small number of people, as in Example w, more effective equalization can be achieved by taking the measurements in the area around the listening position.

When the auto setup procedure is performed, one of the following 3 correction curves can be selected for the room equalizer function.

Audyssey:

The frequency response of all the speakers is adjusted to achieve the optimum environment for the room’s acoustics.

Front:

This adjusts the characteristics of each speaker to the characteristics of the front speakers.

Flat:

This the frequency response of all speakers flat. This mode is optimum for playing multi-channel signal music.

To make the sound field settings manually, see pages 56 ~ 59.

Example: q

Example: w

2About the main listening position (*M)

The “main listening position” refers to either the center of the listening position or the position in which the user sits when using the system alone. The distance to the speakers is measured from this position.
