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 24).

Information

• If the result differs from the actual connection status or an error

 

message appears, use i to on-screen display “Retry 0” and then

 

 

 

press o to repeat the measurement.

 

 

 

 

 

Troubleshooting

• If the result still differs from the actual connection status after re-

 

measurement or the error message still appears, it is possible that

 

the speakers are not connected properly. Turn the AVR-789 off, check

 

the speaker connections and repeat the measurement process from

 

the beginning.
