SETUP

3-1 AUTO SETUP

The unit's AUTO SETUP function automatically measures the acoustic characteristics of the speaker systems and listening room where the unit is installed using the microphone provided, and sets the optimum listening environment.

HOW TO OPERATE AUTO SETUP

During the measurement process, as the current statuses will be displayed on the OSD menu screen, turn on the monitor's power.

1. Connect the microphone provided to the SETUP MIC jack on the front panel.

2. Position the microphone at the main listening point.

Notes

•Place the microphone at the main listening point before carrying out the measurements.

•With the microphone pointed straight up at the ceiling at the listening point, use a stand or tripod to adjust the microphone to the same height above the floor level as your ears.

•Be sure not to place any obstacles between the speakers and microphone.

•When using a subwoofer with built-in amplifier, set the volume control to the center position, and set the crossover frequency to off or the highest frequency.

•While the measurements are being performed, do not stand between the microphone and either speaker. Make the listening room as quiet as possible. Dark noise may adversely affect the indoor measurements. Close the windows, and turn off the power of all devices (such as cell phones, TV, radio, air conditioner, fl uorescent lights, electrical appliances or dimmers).

•During the measurement process, place your cell phone at a distance from all the audio electronic devices.

Cell phones, even when they are not being used, may adversely affect the measurements due to RFI (radio frequency interference).

•We recommend that the AUTO SETUP operation be performed using the remote controller rather than the front panel controls.

•The volume levels of the test tones played from each channel will exceed the peripheral noise in the listening environment and continue to increase until the optimum signal-to-noise ratio is attained.

•Proceed while taking the environment and any nearby children into consideration.

3. Select SPEAKER SETUP on the MAIN MENU, press the 3/4 cursor buttons to select AUTO SETUP, and press the ENTER button to display the start screen.
