Auto setup for appropriate surround effects (IntelliBeam)

This unit creates a sound field by reflecting sound beams on the walls of your listening room and by broadening the cohesion of all the channels. Just as you would arrange the speaker position of other audio systems, you need to set the beam angle to enjoy the best possible sound from this unit.

Make sure that there are no obstacles between the IntelliBeam microphone and the walls in your listening room as these objects obstruct the path of sound beams. However, any objects that are in contact with the walls will be regarded as a protruding part of the walls.

PREPARATION

This unit employs the beam optimization and sound optimization features with the aid of the supplied IntelliBeam microphone, allowing you to avoid troublesome listening-based setup and achieving highly accurate sound adjustments that best match your listening environment. We call these two features “IntelliBeam” generically.

Beam optimization:

This feature optimizes the beam angle so that the parameter best matches your listening environment.

Sound optimization:

This feature optimizes the beam delay, volume, and quality so that the parameters best match your listening environment.

This unit performs these two automatic optimizations with the aid of the supplied IntelliBeam microphone. 2)

The AUTO SETUP procedure may not be run successfully if this

unit is installed in one of the rooms described in “Installing this unit” on page 11. In such cases, run MANUAL SETUP (p. 20) to manually adjust the corresponding parameters.

Do not connect the IntelliBeam microphone to an extension cable as doing so may result in an inaccurate sound optimization.

After you have completed the AUTO SETUP procedure, be sure to disconnect the IntelliBeam microphone.

The IntelliBeam microphone is sensitive to heat.

Keep the IntelliBeam microphone away from direct sunlight.

Do not place the IntelliBeam microphone on top of this unit.
