First Time Setup

This section explains the settings that you need to make before using the AV receiver for the very first time.

Automatic Speaker Setup

With the supplied calibrated microphone, Audyssey
®
2EQ automatically determines the number of speakers
connected, their size for purposes of bass management,
optimum crossover frequencies to the subwoofer (if
present), and distances from the primary listening posi-
tion. Audyssey 2EQ then removes the distortion caused
by room acoustics by capturing room acoustical prob-
lems over the listening area in both the frequency and
time domain. The result is clear, well-balanced sound for
everyone. Enabling Audyssey 2EQ allows you to also
use Audyssey Dynamic EQ, which maintains the proper
octave-to-octave balance at any volume level. (See
page 79)
Measurement Positions
To create a listening environment in your home theater
that all listeners will enjoy, Audysssey 2EQ takes mea-
surements at up to three positions within the listening
area.
A
First measurement point
This is the center point of the listening area, or the
listening position.
B
Second measurement point
The right side of the listening area.
C
Third measurement point
The left side of the listening area.
The distances between points
3
and must be at least 1 meter.
From the examples below, choose the listening area that
best matches yours and place the microphone accord-
ingly when prompted.
