• Do not unplug the setup microphone from the main unit until Audyssey Auto Setup is completed.

 

• 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.

• Loud test sounds may be played during Audyssey Auto setup. This is part of normal operation. If there is background noise in room, these test signals will increase in volume.

• Operating VOLUME + – during the measurements will cancel the measurements.

• Measurement cannot be performed when headphones are connected.
