First Time Setup

This section explains the settings that you need to make before using the AV receiver for the very first time.

Automatic Speaker Setup

With the supplied calibrated microphone, Audyssey 2EQ automatically determines the number of speakers con- nected, their size for purposes of bass management, optimum crossover frequencies to the subwoofer (if present), and distances from the primary listening posi- tion. Audyssey 2EQ then removes the distortion caused by room acoustics by capturing room acoustical prob- lems over the listening area in both the frequency and time domain. The result is clear, well-balanced sound for everyone. Enabling Audyssey 2EQ allows you to also use Audyssey Dynamic EQ, which maintains the proper octave-to-octave balance at any volume level. (See page 80)

Measurement Positions

To create a listening environment in which several people can enjoy your home theater simultaneously, Audyssey 2EQ takes measurements at three positions within the listening area.

AFirst measurement point

This is the center point of the listening area, or the listening position.

BSecond measurement point

The right side of the listening area.

CThird measurement point

The left side of the listening area.

The distances between points 1 and 2 and points 1 and 3 must be at least 1 meter.

From the examples below, choose the listening area that best matches yours and place the microphone accord- ingly when prompted.

Using Audyssey 2EQ

Notes:

If any of your speakers is 4 ohms, change the Speaker Impedance setting before running the automatic speaker setup (see page 43).

If the AV receiver is muted, it will be unmuted automatically when the automatic speaker setup starts.

Automatic speaker setup cannot be performed while a pair of headphones is connected.

It takes about 10 minutes to complete the auto- matic speaker setup for three positions. Total mea- surement time varies depending on the speakers.

Do not connect or disconnect any speakers during the automatic speaker setup.
