Before using this function, connect and position all
of your speakers.
It takes about 15 minutes to complete the room
correction and speaker setup for three positions.
Total measurement time varies depending on the
number of speakers.
Using Audyssey 2EQ
To create a listening environment in your home
theater that all listeners can enjoy, Audyssey 2EQ
takes measurements at up to three positions within
the listening area.
Position the microphone at ear height of a seated
listener with the microphone tip pointed directly at
the ceiling using a tripod. Do not hold the
microphone in your hand during measurements as
this produces inaccurate results.
First measurement position (1)–Also referred to
as the Main Listening Position this refers to the
most central position where one would normally sit
within the listening environment. 2EQ uses the
measurements from this position to calculate
speaker distance, level, polarity, and the optimum
crossover value for the subwoofer.
Second measurement position (2)–The right side
of the listening area.
Third measurement position (3)–The left side of
the listening area.
The distances from position 1 to 2 and 1 to 3 must
be at least 3.3 feet (1 meter).
To use Audyssey to set up and correct your
speakers:
1 Turn on the receiver and the connected TV.
2 On the TV, select the input to which the receiver
is connected.
3 Set the speaker setup microphone at the Main
Listening Position 1, and connect it to the
SETUP MIC jack on the front of the receiver.
The speaker setting menu appears.
4 Press ENTER.
The room correction and speaker setup starts.
Test tones are played through each speaker as
Audyssey 2EQ Room Correction and Speaker
Setup runs. This process takes a few minutes.
Refrain from talking during measurements and
do not stand between speakers and the
microphone. Do not disconnect the speaker
setup microphone during the room correction
and speaker setup unless you want to cancel the
setup.
5 Place the setup microphone at the next
position, then press ENTER.
Audyssey 2EQ performs more measurements.
This takes a few minutes.
