oAbout the main listening position

The main listening position is the position where listeners would normally sit or where one would normally sit alone within the listening environment. Before starting Audyssey® Setup, place the Sound calibration microphone in the main listening position.

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

NOTE

0Make the room as quiet as possible. Background noise can disrupt the room measurements. Close windows and turn off the power on electronic devices (radios, air conditioners, fluorescent lights, etc.). The measurements could be affected by the sounds emitted by such devices.

0During the measurement process, place cell phones outside the listening room. Cell phone signals could disrupt the measurements.

0Do not stand between the speakers and Sound calibration microphone or allow obstacles in the path while the measurements are being made. Also, install the Sound calibration microphone at least 20 inches (50 cm) away from the wall.

Failure to do so will result in inaccurate readings.

0During the measurement process, audible test tones will come from the speakers and subwoofer(s), but this is part of normal operation. If there is background noise in the room, these test signals will increase in volume.

0Operating VOLUME d f on the remote control unit or VOLUME on the main unit during the measurements will cancel the measurements.

0Measurement cannot be performed when headphones are connected. Unplug the headphones before performing Audyssey® Setup.
