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
positions, as shown in the illustration (up to six positions).
• When performing Audyssey Auto Setup, MultEQ®/Dynamic EQ®/Dynamic
Volume® functions become active (vpage53, 54).
• To set up the speakers manually, use “Speaker Setup” (vpage56) 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.

For the installing, connecting, and setup methods of speakers other than the 7.1-channel system (with surround back speakers), see page 33.
• Measurements are performed by placing the setup microphone
successively at multiple positions throughout the entire listening
area, as shown in GExampleqH. 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 GExamplewH,
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.
The “Simple version” section provides the speaker installation, connection, and setup methods for the 7.1-channel system with surround back speakers.
For the installing, connecting, and setup methods of speakers other than the 7.1-channel system (with surround back speakers), see page 33.

For surround playback of a multichannel source, if you connect the center speaker, surround speakers,
surround back speakers and subwoofers, 7.1-channel playback is available.
Front speakers can be used separately, depending on the speaker’s specifications or playback source such
as front speakers (A) for multichannel playback and front speakers (B) for 2-channel playback (vpage58
“Front Speaker Setup”).
NOTE
When using speakers A and B at the same time, check the impedance of the connected speakers
(vpage4).
A bi-amp connection is to connect separate amplifiers to the tweeter terminals and woofer terminals
of speakers compatible with the bi-amp function. This prevents the back electromotive force (returned
force without output) of the woofer sent to the tweeter, which affects the sound quality of the tweeter,
and you can enjoy playback with higher-quality sound.
In this case, set “Amp Assign” of “Set up speakers” (vpage37) to “SPKR-C”.

M-DAX
Compressed audio formats such as MP3, WAV, WMA (Windows Media Audio) and MPEG-4 AAC reduce
the amount of data by eliminating signal components that are hard for the human ear to hear. The M-DAX
function generates the signals eliminated upon compression, restoring the sound to conditions near those
of the original sound before compression. It also corrects the sense of volume of the bass to obtain richer
sound with compressed audio signals.
Setting details

communication instead of a cable.
Adobe RGB color / Adobe YCC601 color
Like x.v.Color, each of these color spaces defines
a palette of available colors that is larger than the
traditional RGB color model.
Audyssey Dynamic EQ
Audyssey Dynamic EQ solves the problem of
deteriorating sound quality as volume is decreased
by taking into account human perception and room
acoustics. Audyssey Dynamic EQ works in tandem
with Audyssey MultEQ® to provide well-balanced
sound for every listener at any volume level.
Audyssey Dynamic Volume
Audyssey Dynamic Volume solves the problem of
large variations in volume level between television
programs, commercials, and between the soft and
loud passages of movies. Audyssey Dynamic EQ
is integrated into Dynamic Volume so that as the
playback volume is adjusted automatically, the
perceived bass response, tonal balance, surround
impression, and dialog clarity remain the same.
Audyssey MultEQ
Audyssey MultEQ is a room equalization solution
that calibrates any audio system so that it can
achieve optimum performance for every listener
in a large listening area. Based on several room
measurements, MultEQ calculates an equalization
solution that corrects for both time and frequency
response problems in the listening area and also
performs a fully automated surround system setup.
Auto Lip Sync
If you connect the receiver to a TV that supports the
Auto Lip Sync function, it can automatically correct
delay between the audio and video.
B
Bluetooth

D
Deep Color
This technology allows expression of more number
of colors than the conventional 8 bits and can
reproduce colors close to natural ones without color
streak.
Dolby Digital
Dolby Digital is a multi-channel digital signal format
developed by Dolby Laboratories.
A total of 5.1 channels are played: 3 front channels
(“FL”, “FR” and “C”), 2 surround channels
(“SL” and “SR”) and the “LFE” channel for low
frequencies.
Because of this, there is no crosstalk between
channels and a realistic sound field with a “threedimensional” feeling (sense of distance, movement
and positioning) is achieved.
A realistic, powerful sense of presence is achieved
when playing movie sources in AV rooms as well.
Dolby Digital EX
Dolby Digital EX is a 6.1-channel surround format
proposed by Dolby Laboratories that allows users
to enjoy in their homes the “DOLBY DIGITAL
SURROUND EX” audio format jointly developed by
Dolby Laboratories and Lucas Films.
The 6.1 channels of sound, including surround back
channels, provide improved sound positioning and
expression of space.
Dolby Digital Plus
Dolby Digital Plus is an improved Dolby Digital signal
format that is compatible with up to 7.1 channels
of discrete digital sound and also improves sound
quality thanks to extra data bit rate performance.
It is upwardly compatible with conventional Dolby
Digital, so it offers greater flexibility in response to
the source signal and the conditions of the playback
equipment.
Dolby Headphone
The Dolby Headphone technology provides a surround
sound listening experience over headphones.
When listening to multichannel content such
as DVD movies over headphones, the listening
experience is fundamentally different than listening
to speakers. Since the headphone speaker drivers
are covering the pinna of the ear, the listening
experience differs greatly from traditional speaker
playback. Dolby utilizes patented headphone
perspective curves to solve this problem and
provides a non-fatiguing, immersive, home theater
listening experience. Dolby Headphone also
delivers exceptional 3D audio from stereo material.
Dolby TrueHD
Dolby TrueHD is a high definition audio technology
developed by Dolby Laboratories, using lossless
coding technology to faithfully reproduce the sound
of the studio master.
This format provides the facility to support up to
8 audio channels with a sampling frequency of
96kHz/24bit resolution and up to 6 audio channels
with a sampling frequency of 192kHz/24bit
resolution. Dolby TrueHD is adopted for applications
that put very high importance on sound quality.
Dolby Pro Logic g
Dolby Pro Logic g is a matrix decoding technology
developed by Dolby Laboratories.
Regular music such as that on CDs is encoded into
5 channels to achieve an excellent surround effect.
The surround channel signals are converted into
stereo and full band signals (with a frequency
response of 20 Hz to 20 kHz or greater) to create
a “three-dimensional” sound image offering a rich
sense of presence for all stereo sources.
Dolby Pro Logic gx
Dolby Pro Logic gx is a further improved version of
the Dolby Pro Logic g matrix decoding technology.
Audio signals recorded in 2 channels are decoded
to achieve a natural sound with up to 7.1 channels.
There are three modes: “Music” suited for playing
music, “Movie” suited for playing movies, and
“Game” which is optimized for playing games.
Dolby Pro Logic gz
Dolby Pro Logic gz introduces a new dimension to
Home Entertainment through the addition of a pair
of front height channels. Compatible with stereo,
5.1-channel and 7.1-channel content, Dolby Pro
Logic gz provides enhanced spaciousness, depth
and dimension to movies, concert video and video
game playback while maintaining the full integrity
of the source mix.
Dolby Pro Logic gz identifies and decodes spatial
cues that occur naturally in all content, directing
this information to the front height channels,
complementing the performance of left and right
surround sound speakers. Content that is encoded
with Dolby Pro Logic gz height channel information
can be even more revealing, with perceptually
discrete height channel information bringing an
exciting new dimension to home entertainment.
Dolby Pro Logic gz, with front height channels is
also an ideal alternative for households that cannot
support the placement of back surround speakers
of a typical 7.1-channel system but may have
bookshelf space available to support the addition of
height speakers.
Dolby Virtual Speaker
Dolby Virtual Speaker is a technology certified
by Dolby Laboratories that creates a virtualized
surround sound experience from two speakers
using a multichannel Dolby Digital source.
Additionally, Dolby Virtual Speaker can simulate
the surround sound effect produced by Dolby Pro
Logic or Dolby Pro Logic g.
Dolby Virtual Speaker retains all the original
Multichannel audio information and provides the
listener with the sensation of being surrounded by
additional speakers.
Downmix
This function converts the number of channels of
surround audio to less number of channels and
plays back.
DTS
This is an abbreviation of Digital Theater System,
which is a digital audio system developed by DTS.
When playing back audio by connecting this system
with a device such as DTS amplifier, accurate sound
field position and realistic sound effect as if you are
in a movie theater can be obtained.
