Notes

• Do not leave the remote in an extremely hot or humid place.

• Do not use a new battery with old ones.

• Do not mix manganese batteries and other kinds

batteries.

• Do not expose the remote sensor to direct sunlight

or lighting apparatuses. Doing so may cause a malfunction.

•Ifyou do not intend to use the remote for an

Calibrating

appropriate

settings

automatically

(AUTO

CALIBRATION)

This receiverisequipped with DCAC (Digital Cinema Auto Calibration) Technology which allows you to perform automatic calibration as follows:

• Check the connection between each speaker and the receiver.

• Adjust the speaker level.

• Measure the distance

each speaker from

your listening position.

• Measure the speaker polarity.

. . *

• Measure the frequency charactenstIcs.

The

measurement result is not utilized for signals

with a sampling frequency

more than 96 kHz.

The DCAC is designed to obtain proper sound

balance in your room. However, you can adjust the speaker levels and balance manually according to your preference. For details, see "7: Adjusting the speaker levels and balance (TEST TONE)" (page 30).

Before you perform the Auto Calibration, set

up and connect the speakers (page 14, 17).

• The AUTO

jackisused for the

supplied optimizer microphone only.

not connect other microphones to this jack. Doing so may damage the receiver and the microphone.

• During the calibration, the sound that comes out

the speakersisvery loud. The volume

the sound cannot be adjusted. Pay

attention to the presence

childrenorto

the

effect on your neighborhood.

• Perform the Auto Calibration in a quiet

environment to avoid the effect

noise and

o-et

a more accurate measurement.

• Ifthere are any obstaclesinthe path between the optimizer microphone and the speakers, the calibration cannot be performed correctly. Remove any obstacles from the measurement area to avoid measurement error.

Note

the muting function has been activated before you perform Auto Calibration, the muting function will be set to

off

automatically.

Example: HT-SS2300

1 Connect the supplied optimizer

microphone to the AUTO CAL MIC jack on the front panel.

2 Set up the optimizer

Place the optimizer microphone at your listening position.You can also use a stool or tripod so that the optimizer microphone remains at the same height as your ears.

Tip

When you face the speaker towards the optimizer
