Auto speaker setup

Auto speaker setup allows you to achieve a satisfactory listening environment easily with the use of the supplied calibration microphone as a detector of sound signals. The unit will first perform automatic speaker detection, then checks and adjusts the following settings.

(This can also be performed in	•	The factory setting is 7 speakers and a subwoofer.

	•	The front speakers are set to SMALL if the unit determines that they are different sizes.
	•	Sets the appropriate low frequency crossover for each channel according to the speaker size.
FREQUENCY		For manual setup, “Low-pass filter”, ➡ page 27.
	•	The setting is based on the speaker with the lowest bass reproduction range.
	•	Also checks on “Level” setting to adjust the sound level (volume) for each speaker.
LEVEL	•	Makes any further corrections to the volume of each speaker (for manual setup, “Speaker output
		and level” ➡ page 17) and also to the frequency response.

Before setup

•Conduct the auto speaker setup in a quiet environment. A noisy background will give unsatisfactory results.

•Put the subwoofer in position, switch it on, and sets its volume to the level you would normally use. If you do auto speaker setup without the subwoofer, the front speakers will be set as large, possibly resulting in an unsatisfactory bass.

Process for auto speaker setup

1Placing of calibration microphone.

Place on a flat surface at the seating area. Use a tripod for best results.

2Connect the calibration microphone to the [SETUP MIC] jack on the front panel.

Note

The calibration microphone is sensitive to heat. Keep it away from direct sunlight and do not place it on top of the unit.
