Notes:

Before starting Audyssey MultEQ® Automatic Speaker Setup, arrange the room and connect the speakers as you would for enjoying movies. Changes to the room after auto setup requires you run the auto setup again, as room EQ characteristics may have changed.

When starting the automatic speaker setup, do not stand between the speakers and microphone, and avoid obstacles blocking the path between speakers and microphone. This will produce inaccurate results.

Position the microphone at ear height of a seated listener with the micro- phone tip pointed directly at the ceil- ing using a tripod. Do not hold the microphone in your hand during measurements as this will produce innacurate results.

Make the room as quiet as possible. Background noise can disrupt the room measurements. Close win- dows, silence cell phones, televi- sions, radios, air conditioners, fluorescent lights, home appliances, light dimmers, or other devices.

Cell phones should be turned off or placed away from all audio electron- ics during the measurement process as Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) may cause measurement dis- ruptions (even if the cell phone is not in use).
