Cautions on handling

• Before turning the power switch on
Check once again that all connections are correct and that there are
no problems with the connection cables.

• Power is supplied to some of the circuitry even when the unit is
set to the standby mode. When going on vacation or leaving home
for long periods of time, be sure to unplug the power cord from the
power outlet.

• About condensation
If there is a major difference in temperature between the inside of
the unit and the surroundings, condensation (dew) may form on
the operating parts inside the unit, causing the unit not to operate
properly.
If this happens, let the unit sit for an hour or two with the power
turned off and wait until there is little difference in temperature
before using the unit.

• Cautions on using mobile phones
Using a mobile phone near this unit may result in noise. If that
occurs, move the mobile phone away from this unit when it is in use.

• Moving the unit
Turn off the power and unplug the power cord from the power
outlet. Next, disconnect the connection cables to other system units
before moving the unit.

• About Care

• Wipe the cabinet and control panel clean with a soft cloth.

• Follow the instructions when using a chemical cleaner.

The acoustic characteristics of the connected speakers and listening room are
measured and the optimum settings are made automatically. This is called
“Audyssey Auto Setup”.
To perform measurement, place the setup microphone in multiple locations all
around the listening area. For best results, we recommend you measure in six
or more positions, as shown in the illustration (up to eight positions).

• When performing Audyssey Auto Setup, MultEQ® XT/Dynamic EQ®/Dynamic
Volume® functions become active (vpage73, 74).

• To set up the speakers manually, use “Speaker Setup” (vpage77) 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, fluorescent 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.

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 uses
the measurements from this position to calculate speaker distance,
level, polarity, and the optimum crossover value for the subwoofer.

1

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.

Sound receptor

NOTE

• Do not hold the setup microphone in your hand during
measurements.

• Avoid placing the setup microphone close to a seat back or wall as
sound reflections may give inaccurate results.

Set up the subwoofer

Setup
microphone

If using a subwoofer capable of the following
adjustments, set up the subwoofer as shown below.

n When using a subwoofer with a direct mode

Set the direct mode to “On” and disable the volume adjustment
and crossover frequency setting.

n When using a subwoofer without a direct mode

Make the following settings:

• Volume : “12 o’clock position”

• Crossover frequency : “Maximum/Highest Frequency”

• Low pass filter : “Off”

• Standby mode : “Off”

NOTE

When you use two subwoofers, please adjust the subwoofer volume
controls individually so that each subwoofer level is as close as
possible to 75 dB using the test tone (vpage79) before Audyssey
Auto Setup.
