First Time Setup
This section explains the settings that you need to make before using the AV receiver for the very first time.
Audyssey 2EQ™ Room Correction and Speaker Setup
With the supplied calibrated microphone,
Audyssey 2EQ 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 2EQ 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 2EQ allows you to also use Audyssey Dynamic EQ™, which maintains the proper
Before using this function, connect and position all of your speakers.
If Audyssey Dynanic EQ is set to “On”, Audyssey Dynamic Volume™ becomes available.
About Audyssey Dynamic EQ
Audyssey Dynamic EQ solves the problem of deteriorating sound quality as volume is decreased by taking into account human perception and room acoustics. Dynamic EQ selects the correct frequency response and surround levels
About Audyssey Dynamic Volume
Audyssey Dynamic Volume solves the problem of large variations in volume level between television programs, commercials, and between the soft and loud passages of movies. Dynamic Volume looks at the preferred volume setting by the user and then monitors how the volume of program material is being perceived by listeners in real time to decide whether an adjustment is needed. Whenever necessary, Dynamic Volume makes the necessary rapid or gradual adjustments to maintain the desired playback volume level while optimizing the dynamic range. Audyssey Dynamic EQ is integrated into Dynamic Volume so that as the playback volume is adjusted automatically, the perceived bass response, tonal balance, surround impression, and dialog clarity remain the same whether watching movies, flipping between television channels, or changing from stereo to surround sound content.
Measurement Positions
To create a listening environment in which several people can enjoy your home theater simultaneously, Audyssey 2EQ takes measurements at three positions within the listening area.
aFirst measurement point
Also referred to as the Main Listening Position this refers to the most central position where one would normally sit within the listening environment. 2EQ uses the measurements from this position to calculate speaker distance, level, polarity, and the optimum crossover value for the subwoofer.
bSecond measurement point
The right side of the listening area.
cThird measurement point
The left side of the listening area.
The distances between points a and b and points a and c must be at least 1 meter.
From the examples below, choose the listening area that best matches yours and place the microphone accordingly when prompted.
