SETTING THE SPEAKER / ROOM EQ SETUP
• After you have installed this receiver and connected all the components, you should adjust the speaker settings for the
optimum sound acoustics according to your environment and speaker layout.
• Even when you change speakers, speaker positions, or the layout of your listening environment, you should adjust the
speaker settings, too.
• When performing the AUTO SETUP procedure, you need not perform the SPEAKER CONFIGURATION, SPEAKER
DISTANCE, SPEAKER CROSSOVER and CH LEVEL SETUP procedures.
• AUTO SETUP : To set the speaker setup and channel level setup
automatically.
• SPEAKER CONFIGURATION : To adjust the speakers depending on
whether they are connected or not.
• SPEAKER DISTANCE: To select the distance between the listening
position and each speaker to set the delay
time automatically for optimum surround
playback.
• SPEAKER CROSSOVER : To select the desired crossover
frequency.
• ROOM EQ SETUP : To select the desired room EQ mode.
When selecting the AUTO SETUP
• Auto Setup lets you avoid troublesome listening-based speaker setup and achieve good surround sound. Auto Setup has the
feature that provides the optimum listening environment at the listening position in your room, where there are often multiple
listeners viewing programs together.
You should connect the supplied microphone to the SETUP MIC jack so that this receiver can analyze the information from a
series of test tones emitted from speakers at main listening position and can adjust the configuration, distance, sound level,
crossover frequency and frequency response of each speaker automatically.
• If you want to personalize your speaker setup and channel level setup by making the settings manually, perform the "When
selecting the SPEAKER CONFIGURATION" on page 53, "When selecting the SPEAKER DISTANCE" on page 54, "When
selecting the SPEAKER CROSSOVER" on page 55, "Adjusting each channel level with test tone" on page 26 and "Adjusting
the current channel level" on page 27.
• After the auto setup has been completed, set the room EQ as desired. (For details, refer to "When selecting the ROOM EQ
SETUP" on page 56.)
Preparations
. Check that the speakers are securely connected to this receiver.
• If your subwoofer has adjustable volume and crossover frequency, set the volume halfway and set the crossover
frequency to the maximum or the low pass filter off.
. Connect the supplied microphone to the SETUP MIC jack on the front panel.(For details, refer to "SETUP MIC JACK" on
page 14.)
Notes :
• Because the microphone for Auto Setup is designed for use with this receiver, to use the auto setup function, do not use a
microphone other than the one supplied with this receiver.
• After you have completed the auto setup procedure, disconnect the microphone.
• If possible, use a tripod, etc. to attach the microphone at the same height as your ears would be when you are seated in your
listening position.
• Ensure there are no obstacles between the speakers and the microphone.
1. Place the microphone on a flat level surface at the listening position.
