Audyssey MultEQcorrects acoustical distortions within the listening area.Before starting, connect and position all your speakers.Once started, MultEQ will play a series of test tones through eachspeaker.NOTE• Loud test sounds may be played during Audyssey MultEQ AutomaticSpeaker Setup. This is part of normal operation. If there is backgroundnoise in room, these test signals will increase in volume.• Do not stand between the speakers and setup microphone or allowobstacles in the path while the measurements are being made. Thiswill cause inaccurate readings.• Quiet the listening environment before beginning measurements andrefrain from talking. Turn off air conditioning units or other devicesthat emit noise if at all possible as measurements may be affectedby these sounds.• Operating MASTER VOLUME during the measurements will cancelthe measurements.• Do not change the speaker connections or subwoofer volume after“Step 1”.If an error message appears during the measurements, check “ErrorMessages”, take the advised action, then start the measurementsagain (vpage 21).The speaker connection and polarity are detected at the fi rstmeasurement position. The following attributes are also determinedat this time: “Speaker Size”, “Speaker Distance”, “Channel Level”,“Crossover Frequency”.Once the measurements are completed, “Sp Detect Check” isdisplayed.Press ENTER to check the results of the speaker detection.Example : 7.1-channel systemsS p e a k e r : 3 / 4 / . 1Step 1 : Speaker Detection• If the results are not as expected or if an error message is displayed,address any error as required, select “Retry” and perform themeasurement again.• If the results of measurement are still not as expected or an errormessage is displayed, turn off the power switch and check thespeaker connections.
