AAmp AssignStartCancelPlease place microphonemain listening position.Audyssey MultEQThe speaker connection and polarity are detected at the firstmeasurement position. The following attributes are also determinedat this time: “Speaker Size”, “Speaker Distance”, “Channel Level”,“Crossover Frequency”.Once the measurements are completed, the results are displayed.Step 1 : Speaker DetectionStartStart Auto Setup.The Audyssey MultEQ Auto Setup process automatically calculatesthe size, level, distance, bass management crossover frequency, andoptimal settings for each speaker and subwoofer. 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 the MASTER VOLUME knob on the main unit or MASTERVOLUME button on the remote control unit during measurements willcancel the measurements.• Do not change the speaker connections or subwoofer volume after“Step 1”.a Start MenuThe settings are performed automatically.NOTEDo not turn the power off while the settings are being stored.Step 2 : MeasurementAfter completing a measurement position, move the microphone tothe next position.Measure 6 positions (the main listening position and 5 othersurrounding positions). Although it is allowable to measure less than 6positions, it is recommended to measure 6 for best results.Step 3 : CalculationWhen “Calculate” is selected at “Step2”, the measurements taken areanalyzed automatically to determine how the speaker system interactswith the room.The time required for this analysis depends on the number of speakersconnected. The higher the number of speakers, the longer the timerequired for analysis.Step 4 : CheckOnce the auto setup procedure is complete, a measuring resultchecking screen appears.Select any item whose results you want to check to review theresults.Values that are different from the actual distance may be set forspeakers with built-in filters (subwoofers, etc.). This is because filtersadd electrical delay to the signal that should be compensated.Step 5 : StoreThe auto setup measurement results are stored in the AVR-1908.Front SpeakerThe front speaker to be measured can be selected ahead of timehere.[Selectable items]A : Output test tone from front speakers A.B : Output test tone from front speakers B.A + B : Output test tone from front speakers A and B.Amp AssignAdvanced setting : changes power amplifier assignment.For details, refer to “Amp Assign” (vpage 28).If an error message appears during the measurements, check “ErrorMessages”, take the advised action, then start the measurementsagain (vpage 23).Getting Started Connections Setup Playback Remote Control Amp Assign Information Troubleshooting
