First Time Setup
This section explains the settings that you need to make before using the AV receiver for the very first time.
With the supplied speaker setup microphone, the
Audyssey 2EQ function can measure the number of
speakers connected, their sizes, crossover frequencies,
and distances from the listening position, and then calcu-
late the optimal speaker settings for your listening envi-
ronment.
Before using this function, connect and position all of
your speakers.
Minimum Speaker Impedance Setup
(not North American model)
If the impedance of any of the connected speakers is 4
ohms or more but less than 6, set the minimum speaker
impedance to 4 ohms.
Note:
Before you change this setting, turn down the volume.
Measurement Points
To create a listening area in which several people can
enjoy home theater simultaneously, the Audyssey 2EQ
function takes measurements at three points within the
listening area:
A
First measurement point
This is the center point of the listening area, or the
listening position if it’s just one person.
B
Second measurement point
The right side of the listening area.
C
Third measurement point
The left side of the listening area.
The distances between points
1
and
2
and points
1
and
3
must be at least 1 meter.
From the examples below, choose the listening area that
best matches yours and place the microphone accord-
ingly when prompted.
