• To set up the speakers manually, use “Speaker Setup” (vpage93) on the menu.
NOTE
• Make the room as quiet as possible. Background noise can disrupt the room measurements. Close
windows, silence cell phones, televisions, radios, air conditioners, fl uorescent lights, home appliances,
light dimmers, or other devices as measurements may be affected by these sounds.
• Cell phones should be placed away from all audio electronics during the measurement process as Radio
Frequency Interference (RFI) may cause measurement disruptions (even if the cell phone is not in use).
• Do not unplug the setup microphone from the main unit until Audyssey Auto Setup is completed.
• Do not stand between the speakers and setup microphone or allow obstacles in the path while the
measurements are being made. This will cause inaccurate readings.
• Loud test sounds may be played during Audyssey Auto setup. This is part of
normal operation. If there is background noise in room, these test signals will
increase in volume.
• Operating
• Measurement cannot be performed when headphones are connected.
VOL df during the measurements will cancel the measurements.

Set up speakers (Audyssey® Auto Setup)
About setup microphone placement
• Measurements are performed by placing the setup microphone
successively at multiple positions throughout the entire listening
area, as shown in GExample qH. For best results, we recommend
you measure in six or more positions, as shown in the illustration
(up to eight positions).
• Even if the listening environment is small as shown in GExample wH,
measuring at multiple points throughout the listening environment
results in more effective correction.

About the main listening position (*M)
The main listening position is the position where listeners would
normally sit or where one would normally sit alone within the listening
environment. Before starting Audyssey Auto Setup, place the setup
microphone in the main listening position. Audyssey MultEQ® XT 32
uses the measurements from this position to calculate speaker
distance, level, polarity, and the optimum crossover value for the
subwoofer.
About multiple subwoofer calibration
Audyssey multiple subwoofer calibration optimizes the level, delay,
and frequency response blending of two subwoofers.
z To run Audyssey multiple subwoofer calibration you must select
“Measure (2 spkrs)” in “Set up “Channel Select”” (vpage64).

Prepare the setup microphone
Mount the setup microphone on a tripod or stand
and place it in the main listening position.
When placing the setup microphone, adjust the height of the
sound receptor to the level of the listener’s ear.

Playing a network audio
• There are many Internet radio stations on the Internet, and the
quality of the programs they broadcast as well as the bit rate of the
tracks varies widely.
Generally, the higher the bit rate, the higher the sound quality, but
depending on the communication lines and server traffic, the music
or audio signals being streamed may be interrupted. Inversely, lower
bit rates mean a lower sound quality but less tendency for the sound
to be interrupted.
• “Server Full” or “Connection Down” is displayed if the station is
busy or not broadcasting.
• On this unit, folder and file names can be displayed as titles. Any
characters that cannot be displayed are replaced with “.” (period).

reproduction, we recommend playback in RESTORER mode

About Audyssey Dynamic Surround Expansion (A-DSX)
Audyssey DSX is a scalable surround expansion system that adds
new channels to improve the surround impression. Based on research
in human hearing Audyssey DSX adds a pair of Wide channels in the
front because that information is critical in the rendering of a realistic
soundstage.
Audyssey DSX then adds a pair of Height channels above the main
front channels to reproduce the next most important acoustical and
perceptual cues related to soundstage depth. In addition to creating
these new channels, Audyssey DSX applies Surround Envelopment
Processing to enhance the blend between the front and side/back
surround channels. The result is a much more seamless and enveloping
home theater experience.
