Start
Press o to start the MultEQ Auto Setup.
The Audyssey MultEQ Auto Setup process automatically calculates
the size, level, distance, bass management crossover frequency, and
optimal settings for each speaker and subwoofer. Audyssey MultEQ
corrects acoustical distortions within the listening area.
Before starting, connect and position all your speakers.
Once started, MultEQ will play a series of test tones through each
speaker.
If an error message appears during the measurements, check "Error
Messages" , take the advised action, then start the measurements
again (vpage 20).
Step 1 : Speaker Detection
The speaker connection and polarity are detected at the fi rst
measurement position. The following attributes are also determined
at this time: "Speaker Size" , "Speaker Distance " , "Channel Level" ,
"Crossover Frequency" .
Once the measurements are completed, "Sp Detect Check" is
displayed.
Press ENTER to check the results of the speaker detection.

• If the results are not as expected or if an error message is displayed,
address any error as required, select "Retry" and perform the
measurement again.
• If the results of measurement are still not as expected or an error
message is displayed, turn off the power switch and check the
speaker connections. Then start measurements again from the
beginning.
NOTE
• Loud test sounds may be played during Audyssey MultEQ Automatic
Speaker 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
will cause inaccurate readings.
• Quiet the listening environment before beginning measurements and
refrain from talking. Turn off air conditioning units or other devices
that emit noise if at all possible as measurements may be affected
by these sounds.

After completing a measurement position, move the microphone to
the next position.
Measure at 6 positions: the main listening position and 5 other
Subwoofer
surrounding positions. Although it is allowable to measure less than 6
positions, it is recommended to measure 6 for best results.
