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.
•To use the internal subwoofer of the amp, set the volume to the middle point and set the crossover frequency to the highest.
•Duringmeasurement,stepawayfromthemicrophone and operate the unit via the remote controller from a position that is out of the path of the speaker sound.

Note:
•Less than 6 positions can be measured, but it is recommended to measure in all 6 positions in order to obtain the best results.
•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.
