The acoustic characteristics o the connected speakers andlistening room are measured and the optimum settings are madeautomatically. This is called Audyssey Auto Setup.

To perorm measurement, place the setup microphone inmultiple locations all around the listening area. For best results,we recommend you measure in six positions, as shown in theillustration (up to six positions).

When perorming Audyssey Auto Setup, Audyssey MultEQ/

Audyssey Dynamic EQ/Audyssey Dynamic Volume unctions

become active (vpage 54, 55).To set up the speakers manually, use Speaker Setup

(vpage 59) on the menu.

NOTE

Make the room as quiet as possible. Background noise can disrupt

the room measurements. Close windows, silence cell phones,

televisions, radios, air conditioners, uorescent lights, home

appliances, light dimmers, or other devices as measurements may

be aected by these sounds.

Cell phones should be placed away rom all audio electronics during

the measurement process as Radio Frequency Intererence (RFI)

may cause measurement disruptions (even i the cell phone is not

in use).

Do not unplug the setup microphone rom the main unit until

Audyssey Auto Setup is completed.

Do not stand between the speakers and setup microphone or allow

obstacles in the path while the measurements are being made. This

will cause inaccurate readings.

Loud test sounds may be played during Audyssey Auto setup. This

is part o normal operation. I there is background noise in room,

these test signals will increase in volume.

OperatingMdfduring the measurements

will cancel the measurements.Measurement cannot be perormed when

headphones are connected.

automatically make the optimal settings or your speakers.

About setup microphone placement

Measurements are perormed by placing the setup microphone

successively at multiple positions throughout the entire listening

area, as shown in GExampleqH. For best results, we recommendyou measure in six positions, as shown in the illustration (up to six

positions).

Even i the listening environment is small as shown inGExamplewH,measuring at multiple points throughout the listening environment

results in more eective correction.

About the main listening position (*M)The main listening position is the position where listeners would

normally sit or where one would normally sit alone within the listening

environment. Beore starting Audyssey Auto Setup, place the setup

microphone in the main listening position. Audyssey MultEQ usesthe measurements rom this position to calculate speaker distance,
