First Time Setup—Continued

Automatic Speaker Setup

(Audyssey MultEQ®)

With the supplied calibrated microphone, Audyssey MultEQ automatically determines the number of speakers connected, their size for purposes of bass management, optimum crossover frequencies to the subwoofer (if present), and distances from the primary listening position. Audyssey MultEQ then removes the distortion caused by room acoustics by capturing room acoustical problems over the listening area in both the frequency and time domain. The result is clear, well-balanced sound for everyone. Enabling Audyssey MultEQ allows you to also use Audyssey Dynamic EQTM, which maintains the proper octave-to-octave balance at any volume level (see page 84).

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

Measurement Positions

To create a listening environment in your home theater that all listeners will enjoy, Audyssey MultEQ takes measurements at up to six positions within the listening area.

■1st measurement position

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

■2nd−6th measurement positions

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