The acoustic characteristics of the connected speakers and listening room are measured and the optimum settings are made automatically. This is called “Audyssey Auto Setup”. To perform measurement, place the setup microphone in multiple locations all around the listening area. For best results, we recommend you measure in six positions, as shown in the illustration (up to six positions). · When performing Audyssey Auto Setup, MultEQ®/Dynamic EQ®/Dynamic
Volume® functions become active (vpage 54, 55). · To set up the speakers manually, use “Speaker Setup” (vpage 57) on the menu.
NOTE
· Make the room as quiet as possible. Background noise can disrupt the room measurements. Close windows, silence cell phones, televisions, radios, air conditioners, fluorescent lights, home appliances, light dimmers, or other devices as measurements may be affected by these sounds.
· Cell phones should be placed away from all audio electronics during the measurement process as Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) may cause measurement disruptions (even if the cell phone is not in use).
· Do not unplug the setup microphone from the main unit until Audyssey Auto Setup is completed. · Do not stand between the speakers and setup microphone or allow obstacles in the path while the
measurements are being made. This will cause inaccurate readings. · Loud test sounds may be played during Audyssey Auto setup. This is part of
normal operation. If there is background noise in room, these test signals will increase in volume. · Operating VOL df during the measurements will cancel the measurements. · Measurement cannot be performed when headphones are connected.

The main listening position is the position where listeners would normally sit or where one would normally sit alone within the listening environment. Before starting Audyssey Auto Setup, place the setup microphone in the main listening position. Audyssey MultEQ® uses the measurements from this position to calculate speaker distance, level, polarity, and the optimum crossover value for the subwoofer.

NOTE
· Do not hold the setup microphone in your hand during measurements.
· Avoid placing the setup microphone close to a seat back or wall as sound reflections may give inaccurate results.

Bi-amp connection
A bi-amp connection is to connect separate amplifiers to the tweeter terminals and woofer terminals of speakers compatible with the bi-amp function. This prevents the back electromotive force (returned force without output) of the woofer sent to the tweeter, which affects the sound quality of the tweeter, and you can enjoy playback with higher-quality sound. In this case, set “Amp Assign” of “Set up speakers” (vpage 36) to “Bi-Amp”.

Connect
5.1-channel + 2.1-channel connection
If front speakers for 2-channel playback are connected to the SURR. BACK / AMP ASSIGN terminals, both speakers for multichannel playback and for 2-channel playback can be used, by switching. In this case, set “Amp Assign” of “Set up speakers” (vpage 36) to “2CH”.
