•To set up the speakers manually, use “Speaker Setup”
(vpage55) 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.
•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

the measurements will cancel the

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 positions, as shown in the illustration (up to six
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
®
uses
the measurements from this position to calculate speaker distance,
level, polarity, and the optimum crossover value for the subwoofer.

Set up the subwoofer
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”

Set up the 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.

If you do not have a tripod or stand, set up the microphone on, for
example, a seat without a back.
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.
