Initial settings
Auto setup for appropriate surround effects (IntelliBeam)
Due to differences in room sizes and shapes, positioning of this unit, and the lifestyle of users, settings for each channel must be adjusted in order for this unit to provide the optimal listening experience.
This unit is equipped with IntelliBeam, which automatically adjusts settings for each channel. IntelliBeam offers two features, “beam optimization” and “sound optimization”.
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)

PREPARATION
PLAYBACK
• The AUTO SETUP procedure may not be run successfully if this |
unit is installed in one of the rooms described in “Conditions that |
make it difficult for sound beams to achieve surround sound” on |
page 11. The My Surround function can be used to enjoy rich |
surround sound in these types of rooms as well. See “Changing |
the audio output method for surround playback” (☞p. 36, 37) for |
more information. |
• 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 |
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.
