Preparing the Receiver
1Select the speaker pattern
(page 42).
If you connect front high speakers, select
the speaker pattern that has front high
speakers (5/x.x or 4/x.x) each time
you perform Auto Calibration.
Otherwise, the characteristics of the front
high speakers cannot be measured.
2Connect the supplied optimizer
microphone to the AUTO CAL
MIC jack.
3Set up the optimizer
microphone.
Place the optimizer microphone at your
seating position. Use a stool or tripod so
that the optimizer microphone remains at
the same height as your ears.

Confirm active subwoofer setup

• When a subwoofer is connected, turn on the
subwoofer and turn up the volume prior to
activating the subwoofer. Turn the LEVEL
to just before the mid-point.
• If you connect a subwoofer with a crossover
frequency function, set the value to
maximum.
• If you connect a subwoofer with an auto
standby function, set it to off (deactivated).
Note
Depending on the characteristics of the subwoofer
you are using, the setup distance value may be
different from the actual position.
