Making the Optimum Settings for the Connected Speakers Automatically
(Audyssey™ Auto Setup)
The acoustic characteristics of the connected speakers and
listening room are measured and the optimum settings are made
automatically.

Important Information
Audyssey MultEQ ® automatically measures the acoustical
problems in the listening environment to create the best audio
experience for your home theater.
• When Audyssey™ Auto Setup is performed, MultEQ ® , Dynamic
EQ™ and Dynamic Volume™ functions (vpage 48) are enabled.
• Use the included setup microphone (DM-A409) to perform Audyssey
Auto Setup.
• Measurements are performed by placing the calibrated microphone
successively at multiple positions throughout the listening area as
shown in GExample qH. For best results, it is strongly recommended
to measure 6 positions so that the measurements have the proper
spatial weighting.
Even if the listening environment is small as shown in GExample wH,
measuring at multiple points throughout the listening environment
results in more effective correction.

About the main listening position (*M)
The main listening position refers to the most central position where
one would normally sit within the listening environment.
MultEQ uses the measurements from this position to calculate
speaker distance, level, polarity, and the optimum crossover value
for the subwoofer.

NOTE
• 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.
• Do not stand between the speakers and setup microphone or allow
* obstacles in the path while the measurements are being made. This
M
will cause inaccurate readings.
• Make the room as quiet as possible. Background noise can disrupt
SR
the room measurements. Close windows, silence cell phones,
televisions, radios, air conditioners, fl uorescent 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)
SW C FR
may cause measurement disruptions (even if the cell phone is not in
use).
