Auto Setup

Auto Speaker Setup of your loudspeakers and subwoofer

(if present) is controlled by this menu. A full description

of how Auto Speaker Setup works is given on page 37.

Remember to insert the calibration microphone into the

AUX input on the front panel and position the microphone

at the listening position before running Auto Setup.

Run Auto Setup – Press

OK (or

on the remote) to

start Auto Speaker Setup. e process will generate test

tones from the speakers and will typically take less than

two minutes. e test tone generator will cycle round

each speaker twice.

Accept Setup – When Auto Speaker Setup has

completed without errors you can choose to accept or

reject the settings

< No: e settings are not stored in memory.

< Yes: All the speaker settings (speakers present, type,

distance, level and crossover frequency) are stored

in the relevant sections of the Setup Menu and

overwrite any previous settings.

Auto Setup Progress – Gives a summary of what Auto

Speaker Setup is doing as it progresses, starting with

which speaker is being tested.

< Calculating EQ: Data gathered from each of the

speakers is being processed.

< Completed Error: A problem was detected with the

speaker setup. See the descriptions for each of the

individual speakers, below. Alternatively an invalid

speaker conguration was detected.

If the above speakers are correctly detected as present in

your speaker conguration, their size (Small or Large),

distance from the listening position and trim level (dB)

will be displayed. Note that size does not apply to the

subwoofer. Otherwise one of the following messages will

be displayed:

< Not Present: A speaker was not detected on this

channel.

< Clipped: e test tone detected by the microphone

was distorted or clipped. is could be because

you have very sensitive speakers and they are

very close to the listening position. However it is

more likely that the detected signal was corrupted

by microphone handling noise or other external

sounds. Try running Auto Speaker Setup again.

< Mic too close: e speaker is too close to the listening

position to be able to calculate its distance. If possible,

try moving the speaker slightly further away from the

listening position and run Auto Speaker Setup again.

Crossover Freq. – e frequency at which Auto Speaker

Setup determined is the best point to lter low frequency

sounds away from Small speakers and into the subwoofer

(or Large speakers if a subwoofer is not present).

Spkr Types

Settings for the types of loudspeaker you have connected

to your AVR500, AVR600 or AV888 and power

amplier (e.g. the Arcam P777). ese settings are

applied to all audio inputs and are stored in memory

and recalled each time the unit is powered up.

Front Left / Right –

Centre –

Surr. Left / Right –

Surr. Back L / R –

Here you set the type of speakers that you have

connected to your AVR500/AVR600/AV888:

< Large: capable of full frequency range reproduction

< Small: not capable of full frequency range

reproduction at the low frequency end

< None: speaker not present in your conguration

< Subwoofer: Set whether a subwoofer is present or not.

For Surr. Back L/R, the number before Large and Small

in the dropdown options list is the number of Surround

Back speakers in your conguration. If you only have

one Surround Back speaker connect it to the

SBL output.

NOTE

It is not possible to set all speakers to Small unless

there is a subwoofer in your speaker conguration.

If you do not have a subwoofer, you will be forced to

set your front speakers to Large.

Crossover Freq – is is the frequency at which

loudspeakers set as Small start to redirect bass signals to

the Subwoofer or Large speakers in your system. Small

speakers redirect bass to the subwoofer, if present. e

exception is the Centre speaker which, if Small, redirects

its bass to front le/right provided that they themselves

are Large. is is done to help keep Centre bass directly

in front of the listening position.

MCH Sub Levels – is setting controls the subwoofer

level from an externally decoded multichannel source

(DVD-A, SACD, etc). Most DVD players require a

+10dB compensation on the subwoofer channel to

maintain the correct balance with the main channels.

< +10dB comp.: for normal DVD players which output

the analogue subwoofer channel at the low 0dBr

level. Gain compensation of +10dB is added to the

subwoofer channel of the

MCH INPUT in the AVR500,

AVR600 or AV888.

< No comp.: for DVD players which output the

analogue subwoofer channel at the correct +10dBr

level. No subwoofer gain compensation is needed

on the subwoofer channel of the

MCH INPUT in the

AVR500, AVR600 or AV888.

Use Channels 6+7 for – If your main zone speaker

set up does not include Surround Back Le and Right

speakers, you can choose to use the Surround Back

amplier channels to bi-amp the Front Le and Right

pair, or as a stereo power amplier for Zone2 (but note

that powered Zone 2 is not available on the AV888).

Spkr Distance

Calibration settings for the distances between the

loudspeakers and the listening position.

NOTE

Speakers that are not present in your conguration

will be greyed out.

ese settings are applied to all audio inputs and are

stored in memory and recalled each time the unit is

powered up.

Units – Select whether you wish to measure distances in

centimetres or inches.

As described in ‘essential setup’ on page 36, measure the

distance from each loudspeaker in your system to your

ear in the main listening position and enter the values.

is allows the AVR500/AVR600/AV888 to calculate the

correct relative delay for each loudspeaker.

Spkr Levels

Calibration settings for the test noise signal level

through the loudspeakers and measured at the listening

position.

NOTE

Speakers that are not present in your conguration

will be greyed out.

ese settings are applied to all audio inputs and are

stored in memory and recalled each time the unit is

powered up.

Use the

and

navigation buttons on the remote

control to select the relevant speaker. Press

enable/disable the calibration noise and the

and

navigation buttons to adjust the noise level from each

speaker.
