Audyssey MultEQXT corrects acoustical distortions within the listening area.Before starting, connect and position all your speakers.Once started, MultEQ XT will play a series of test tones through eachspeaker.If an error message appears during the measurements, check “ErrorMessages” (vpage 27), take the advised action, then start themeasurements again.Setting the correct speaker configuration can reduce the time requiredto measure during the auto setup procedure as the system will nothave to look for speakers that are not connected.The 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.NOTE• Loud test tone may be played during Audyssey MultEQ XT AutomaticSpeaker Setup. This is part of normal operation. If there is backgroundnoise in room, these test tones 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 the VOL+/– buttons on the remote control unit during the measurements willcancel the measurements.• Do not change the speaker connections or subwoofer volume after“STEP1”.After completing a measurement position, move the microphone tothe next position.Measure at least 6 positions (main listening position and at least 5 othersurrounding positions). For best results it is recommend measuring 6or more positions (with a maximum of 8 positions).NOTEDo not turn the power off while the settings are being stored.When “Calculate” is selected at “STEP2”, the measurements takenare analyzed automatically to determine how the speaker systeminteracts with 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.STEP4: CheckOnce the auto setup procedure is complete, a measuring result checkscreen 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.STEP5: StoreThe auto setup measurement results are stored in the AVR-4308CI.
