Important Information

Audyssey MultEQ® automatically measures the acoustical problems in the listening environment to create the best audio experience for your home theater.

When the Audyssey Auto Setup procedure is performed, the MultEQ, Dynamic EQ and Dynamic Volume functions (vpage 41) are enabled.

Use the included setup microphone (DM-A409) to perform the Audyssey Auto Setup procedure.

Measurements are performed by placing the calibrated microphone successively at multiple positions throughout the listening area as shown in GExample qH. For best results, it is strongly recommended to measure 6 positions so that the measurements have the proper spatial weighting.

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.

About the main listening position (*M)

The main listening position refers to the most central position where one would normally sit within the listening environment.

MultEQ uses the measurements from this position to calculate speaker distance, level, polarity, and the optimum crossover value for the subwoofer.

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).
