First Time Setup—Continued

Automatic Speaker Setup

(Audyssey MultEQ XT)

With the supplied speaker setup microphone, the Audyssey MultEQ XT function can measure the number of speakers connected, their sizes, crossover frequencies, and the distance from each speaker to the listening posi- tion and calculate the optimal speaker settings for your listening environment automatically.

Before using this function, connect and position all of your speakers.

Measurement Positions

To create a listening environment in which several peo- ple can enjoy your home theater simultaneously, Audys- sey MultEQ XT takes measurements at up to eight positions within the listening area.

1st measurement point

This is the center position of your listening area, or the listening position if there’s only one listener.

2nd8th measurement positions

These are the other listening positions (i.e., the places where the other listeners will sit). You can measure up to eight positions.

The following examples show some typical home theater seating arrangements. Choose the one that best matches yours, and position the microphone accordingly when prompted.
