22ENGLISH Getting Started Connections Playback Remote Control Information Troubleshooting SpecificationsMulti-ZoneThe acoustic characteristics of the connected speakers andlistening room are measured and the optimum settings are madeautomatically.NOTE• Loud test sounds may be played during Audyssey Auto Setup. This ispart of normal operation. If there is background noise in room, thesetest 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, fl uorescent 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).Audyssey MultEQ® automatically measures the acousticalproblems in the listening environment to create the best audioexperience for your home theater.• When Audyssey™ Auto Setup is performed, MultEQ®, DynamicEQ™ and Dynamic Volume™ functions (vpage 48) are enabled.• Use the included setup microphone (DM-A409) to perform AudysseyAuto Setup.• Measurements are performed by placing the calibrated microphonesuccessively at multiple positions throughout the listening area asshown in GExample qH. For best results, it is strongly recommendedto measure 6 positions so that the measurements have the properspatial weighting.Even if the listening environment is small as shown in GExample wH,measuring at multiple points throughout the listening environmentresults in more effective correction.n When using Front Height SpeakersGExample qH GExample wHFHL FL SW C FR FHRSL SR* MFHL FL SW C FR FHRSL SR*Mn When using Surround Back SpeakersGExample qH GExample wHFL SW C FRSL SRSBRSBL* MFL SW C FRSL SRSBRSBL*M( : Measuring positions)Important InformationAbout 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.FHL : Front height speaker (L)FL : Front speaker (L)SW : SubwooferC : Center speakerFR : Front speaker (R)FHR : Front height speaker (R)SR : Surround speaker (R)SBR : Surround back speaker (R)SBL : Surround back speaker (L)SL : Surround speaker (L)( : Measuring positions)n Check Audyssey Auto Setup MeasurementResults (Parameter Check) (vpage 26)Audyssey Auto Setup FlownStep 1 : Connect the included SetupMicrophone (vpage 23)Step 3 : Performing the Audyssey Auto SetupProcedure (vpage 24)Step 2 : Audyssey Auto Setup Preparations(vpage 23)n Changing the amplifier assignment (Amp Assign)(vpage 23)n Set the channel to be measured (Channel Select)(vpage 24)Making the Optimum Settings for the Connected Speakers Automatically(Audyssey™ Auto Setup)Settings
