Getting Started Connections Setup Playback Remote Control Multi-zone Information TroubleshootingENGLISHAbout the Auto SetupThe Audyssey MultEQ auto setup function detects the presence ofeach speaker and automatically calculates the speaker size, channellevel, distance, and optimal crossover frequency setting. AudysseyMultEQ corrects acoustical distortions within the listening area.Before starting, connect and position all of your speakers.Once started, MultEQ will play a series of test tones through eachspeaker.If an error message appears during the measurements, check “ErrorMessages”, take the advised action, then start the measurementsagain (vpage 23).a Start MenuThe settings found at this stage are applied automatically.GAuto setup flowHStep 1: Speaker DetectionStep 2: MeasurementStep 3: CalculationStep 4: CheckStep 5: StoreNOTE• 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.• Make the room as quiet as possible. Background noise can disruptthe room measurements. Close windows, silence cell phones,televisions, radios, air conditioners, fluorescent lights, homeappliances, light dimmers, or other devices as measurements maybe affected by these sounds.Cell phones should be placed away from all audio electronics duringthe measurement process as Radio Frequency Interference (RFI)may cause measurement disruptions (even if the cell phone is not inuse).• Operating MASTER VOLUME during the measurements will cancelthe measurements.Auto SetupOptimize settings for speakers in use.Step 1 : Speaker DetectionNOTEDo not change the speaker connections or subwoofer volume after“Step 1”.The speaker connection and polarity are detected at the firstmeasurement position (main listening position). The followingattributes are also determined at this time: “Speaker Size”, “SpeakerDistance”, “Channel Level”, “Crossover Frequency”.q Select “Start 0”, then press o.w Select “Next 0”, then press o.• If the result differs from the actual connection status or an errormessage appears, use i to on-screen display “Retry 0” and thenpress o to repeat the measurement.• If the result still differs from the actual connection status afterre-measurement or the error message still appears, it is possiblethat the speakers are not connected properly.
