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 adjust the room EQ as desired.
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 the 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 50, "When selecting the SPEAKER
DISTANCE" on page 51, "When selecting the SPEAKER CROSSOVER" on page 52, "Adjusting each channel
level with test tone" on page 27 and "Adjusting the current channel level" on page 28.
• 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 53.)
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.)
• 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.
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.
1. Place the microphone on a flat level surface at the listening position.
