Important information
Audyssey MultEQ® XT automatically measures the acoustical problems in the listening environment to create the best audio experience for your home theater.
•When performing Audyssey Auto Setup, the MultEQ® XT / Dynamic EQ™ / Dynamic Volume™ functions become valid (vpage 92, 93).
•Use the included setup microphone
•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 6 or more positions, as shown in the illustration.
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.

Specifications
About the main listening position (*M)
The main listening position refers to the position where listeners would normally sit or where one would normally sit alone within the listening environment.
Audyssey MultEQ XT uses the measurements from this position to calculate speaker distance, level, polarity, and the optimum crossover value for the subwoofer.
