• Audyssey MultEQ
®
XT automatically measures the acoustical
problems in the listening environment to create the best audio
experience for your home theater.
• It optimizes a large listening area where one or more listeners are
seated.
Measurements are performed by placing the calibrated microphone
(DM-A505Z) successively at multiple positions throughout the
listening area as shown in Example q. For best results, it is
strongly recommended to measure 6 or more positions so that the
measurements have the proper spatial weighting.
Even if the listening environment is small as shown in Example w,
measuring at multiple points throughout the listening environment
results in more effective correction.
Auto Setup
To make manual adjustments to the settings, see pages 29 ~ 31.
About the main listening position (*M)
The main listening position refers to the most central position where
one would normally sit within the listening environment.
MultEQ XT uses the measurements from this position to calculate
speaker distance, level, polarity, and the optimum crossover value
for the subwoofer.
Preparations
When using a subwoofer, make the following settings before starting
the auto setup procedure:
• Defeat the volume and crossover controls if possible
• If this is not possible then set
•
Volume: “12 o’clock” position
•
Crossover frequency: “Maximum/Highest Frequency”
•
Low pass filter: “Off”
•
Standby mode: “Off”
NOTE
• Do not disconnect the setup microphone until the auto setup
procedure is completed.
• When using headphones, unplug the headphones before starting
the auto setup procedure.

Place the microphone at ear height on a tripod or stand
with the microphone pointing directly up towards the
ceiling.
b It is not recommended to hold it in your hand. Be sure that the
path from microphone to the speakers is not blocked by objects.
Avoid placing the microphone close to a seat back or wall as sound
reflections may give inaccurate results.
