AutoSetup

provides the Auto Setup system as an aid to setting up a surround system correctly. If you follow the steps described below, the DD1535R will carry out an automatic calibration of your loudspeakers with the help of the calibration microphone supplied with the set. Under normal listening room conditions this process reliably provides optimum results.

If the calibration process is to work properly the following conditions need to be fulfilled: an unobstructed location for the calibration microphone close to your preferred listening position (e. g. on the living room table, or on the backrest of an armchair), and direct visual contact bet- ween the microphone and each loudspeaker.

The first step is to connect the calibration microphone to the socket marked 'MIC' on the front panel. Now set a normal volume for listening to the system.

To ensure that the calibration can be carried out properly, the volume must first be set correctly. To this end the DD1535R generates a hiss signal on the front left channel. The screen displays the currently set volume value in the 'Volume' line, followed by the button you need to press. 'VOL+' means that the volume is too low; 'VOL' means it is too high. Only if the display shows 'OK' can the calibration process be initiated by pressing the button.

The DD1535R now carries out the automatic calibration process. During the procedure you will hear your loudspeakers emit various test signals. During the period of the calibration procedure it is important that no loud extraneous sounds should occur, as these could falsify the results of the process.

The 'Auto Setup' screen display on your TV set provides constant information about the settings the system has determined.

The first columns show the values determined for the set level corrections (volume compensation). The following two columns list the bass and treble settings, and the final column the loudspeaker distances.

Notes:

If the calibration process was adversely affected by extraneous noises, or if for any other reason the calibration process produces implausible results, note that the procedure can be re-started at any time.

The distances determined by the Assistant are cal- culated on the basis of acoustic delay times. They may be slightly different from the geometric distances due to signal delays in your loudspeakers.

If the automatic calibration procedure produces incorrect results due to difficult acoustic conditions in your listening room, we suggest that you should first attempt to achieve better results by varying the microphone position and / or the volume setting.

If this also fails to produce good results, the automatic calibration process is not suitable for your conditions. In this case you should set up the loudspeakers manually using the 'Loudspeaker Menu'.
