Auto Setup
When this unit is upgraded, the “Auto Setup”
contents are returned to the default settings.
When configuring the “Auto Setup” settings, refer
to this version of the Owner's Manual instead of
the “Original version”.
The acoustic characteristics of the connected speakers and
listening room are measured and the optimum settings are made
automatically. This is called “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 or more positions, as shown in
the illustration (up to eight positions).
• When performing Auto Setup, Audyssey MultEQ

functions become active (vpage 41, 42).
• To set up the speakers manually, use “Manual Setup” – “Speaker
Setup”(vpage 23 ~ 25) 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 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 Auto Setup. This is part of
normal operation. If there is background noise in room, these test
signals will increase in volume.
•Operating the MASTER VOLUME knob or main remote control
VOL +/– button during measurement cancels the measurement.
•Measurement cannot be performed when headphones are connected.
Before performing Auto Setup, disconnect the headphone plug.
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 or more positions, as shown in the illustration (up
to eight 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.

n 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 Auto Setup, place the
setup microphone in the main listening position. MultEQ

uses the measurements from this position to calculate speaker
distance, level, polarity, and the optimum crossover value for the
subwoofer.
