First Time Setup—Continued

Using Audyssey 2EQ™

Notes:

•If any of your speakers is 4 ohms, change the Speaker Impedance setting before running the Audyssey 2EQ Room Correction and speaker setup (see page 40).

•If the AV receiver is muted, it will be unmuted automatically when the Audyssey 2EQ Room Correction and Speaker Setup starts.

•Room correction and speaker setup cannot be performed while a pair of headphones is connected.

•It takes about 10 minutes to complete the room correction and speaker setup for three positions. Total measurement time varies depending on the number of speakers.

Notes:

•Before starting Audyssey 2EQ™ 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 room correction and 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 microphone tip pointed directly at the ceiling 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 windows, silence cell phones, televisions, radios, air conditioners, fluorescent lights, home appliances, light dimmers, or other devices.

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