Marantz SR7002, SR8002 manual Auto Setup MultEQ Setup feature, Unit measures sound characteristics

ENGLISH		2-1 AUTO SETUP (MultEQ™ SETUP)
	The AUTO SETUP (MultEQ™ Setup) feature of
	the unit measures sound characteristics of the
	speaker system and room where the unit is used and
	automatically optimizes settings.
	The Audyssey MultEQ™ technology adopted by
	this unit provides the best listening environment for
	multiple listeners.
	To do this, the AUTO SETUP feature measures a
	test tone emitted by each channel in a maximum of 6
	listening positions, using the supplied microphone.
	The measurement results are analyzed using an
	original algorithm and environmental settings are
	made to improve the sound characteristics of the
	listening area.
	To set up the speaker system (i.e., adjusting speaker
	distance, etc.) without using the AUTO SETUP feature,
	see “MANUAL SETUP” on page 49 of the manual.
	HOW TO PERFORM AUTO SETUP
	During measurement, the OSD menu displays the
	condition, therefore turn power to the monitor on.
		1. Connect the supplied microphone to the MIC
		jack on the unit.

2. Set the microphone in the listening position.

Notes:

•Measurement can be done in a maximum of 6 listening positions.

For the first measurement, set the microphone in the main listening position.

•Use a stand or tripod to position the microphone at ear height in the listening position.

•Remove any obstructions between the speakers and microphone.

5. 1 st Position Check

During the fi rst position check, the following screen is displayed as the unit checks background noise in the listening room, presence of speakers, and speaker polarity and measures the acoustical characteristics in the first position where the microphone is set up.

Note:

•The detection check measures the state of use of all speakers whether actually used or not.

For example, if the center speaker is not used, the test tone will require time to go from the L-channel to the R-channel, therefore be careful not to unplug the microphone or operate this unit during this time.

Note:

•The time needed to complete calculations depends on the number of connected speakers and measured listening positions. The more speakers and listening positions, the more time is needed.
