The “Simple version” describes the installation, connection and setup methods for 5.1-channel speakers.

See page 28 for the installation, connection and setup methods for speakers other than 5.1-channel speakers.

The acoustic characteristics of the connected speakers and listening room are

measured and the optimum settings are made automatically. This is called

“Audyssey Auto Setup”.

To perform measurement, place the setup microphone in multiple locations all

around the listening area. For best results, we recommend you measure in six

positions, as shown in the illustration (up to six positions).

• When performing Audyssey Auto Setup, MultEQ

®

functions become active (vpage46, 47).

• To set up the speakers manually, use “Speaker Setup” (vpage49) 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, ﬂuorescent lights, home appliances,

light dimmers, or other devices as measurements may be affected by these sounds.

• Cell phones should be placed away from all audio electronics during the measurement process as Radio

Frequency Interference (RFI) may cause measurement disruptions (even if the cell phone is not in use).

• Do not unplug the setup microphone from 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 of

normal operation. If there is background noise in room, these test signals will

increase in volume.

• Operating

VOL df during the measurements will cancel the measurements.

• Measurement cannot be performed when headphones are connected.

About setup microphone placement

• Measurements are performed by placing the setup microphone

successively at multiple positions throughout the entire listening

area, as shown in GExample qH. For best results, we recommend

you measure in six positions, as shown in the illustration (up to six

positions).

• Even if the listening environment is small as shown in GExample wH,

measuring at multiple points throughout the listening environment

results in more effective 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. Before starting Audyssey Auto Setup, place the setup

microphone in the main listening position. Audyssey MultEQ

®

uses

the measurements from this position to calculate speaker distance,

level, polarity, and the optimum crossover value for the subwoofer.
