• Audyssey MultEQ® automatically measures the acoustical problemsin the listening environment to create the best audio experience foryour home theater.• It optimizes a large listening area where one or more listeners areseated.Measurements are performed by placing the calibrated microphone(DM-A405) successively at multiple positions throughout thelistening area as shown in Example q. For best results, it is stronglyrecommended to measure 6 positions so that the measurementshave the proper spatial weighting.Even if the listening environment is small as shown in Example w,measuring at multiple points throughout the listening environmentresults in more effective correction.PreparationsWhen using a subwoofer, make the following settings before startingthe auto setup procedure:• Defeat the volume and crossover controls if possible• If this is not possible then set• Volume: “12 o’clock” position• Crossover frequency: “Maximum/Highest Frequency”• Low pass filter: “Off”• Standby mode: “Off”NOTE• Do not disconnect the setup microphone until the auto setupprocedure is completed.• When using headphones, unplug the headphones before startingthe auto setup procedure.Auto SetupTo make manual adjustments to the settings, see pages 24, 25.1 Connect the included calibrated setup microphone tothe SETUP MIC jack on the main unit.The auto setup screen appears automatically.2 Place the microphone at ear height on a tripod or standwith the microphone pointing directly up towards theceiling.b It is not recommended to hold it in your hand. Be sure that thepath from microphone to the speakers is not blocked by objects.Avoid placing the microphone close to a seat back or wall as soundreflections may give inaccurate results.SoundreceptorSetupmicrophoneAbout the main listening position (*M)The main listening position refers to the most central position whereone would normally sit within the listening environment.MultEQ uses the measurements from this position to calculatespeaker distance, level, polarity, and the optimum crossover valuefor the subwoofer.*M *MExample q Example w( :Measuring positions)Getting Started Connections Setup Playback Remote Control Amp Assign Information Troubleshooting
