When selecting the AUTO SPEAKER SETUP
• Auto Speaker Setup lets you avoid troublesome listening-based speaker setup and achieve good surround sound. 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 and can adjust the size, distance and sound level 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" procedure on page 49, "When selecting the SPEAKER DISTANCE" procedure
on page 51, "Adjusting each channel level with test tone" and "Adjusting the current channel levels" procedures on page 37.
Preparations
1. Connect the supplied microphone to the SETUP MIC
jack on the rear panel.(For details, refer to
"CONNECTING MICROPHONE" on page 13.)
Note:
• After you have completed the auto speaker setup
procedure, be sure to disconnect the microphone.
Press the CURSOR UP( )/DOWN( ) buttons to select the AUTO SPEAKER SETUP, then press
1
the ENTER button.
• For your reference, "ASR" / "ASL" stands for Surround A
Right/Left and "BSR" / "BSL" for Surround B Right/Left.
Press the ENTER button to start the auto speaker setup procedure.

• Loud test tones are output from each speaker and then if auto speaker setup procedure has been completed, the results of each
adjustment will be displayed.
• Each time the ENTER button is pressed, the auto speaker setup procedure will start or stop.
• If there may be a problem with speaker or microphone connection, error message will be displayed. In this case, turn off the power,
check the connection as illustrated in error message and then retry the auto speaker setup procedure.
Notes:
• For your reference, other channel levels displayed are the relative levels as compared with FL channel, not adjusted levels.
• Depending on "POWER AMP ASSIGN" and "SUBWOOFER" settings, etc., some channels may be excluded.
(For details, refer to "SETTING THE POWER AMP ASSIGN" and "SETTING THE SPEAKER SETUP" on page 49.)
• Because the test tones are loud, ensure there no infants or small children in the room.
• For best results, ensure the room is as quiet as possible during the auto speaker setup procedure.
If there is too much ambient noise, the results may not be satisfactory.
• If the results are not satisfactory, you can also personalize your speaker setup and channel level setup by making the settings manually.(For
details, refer to "When selecting the SPEAKER CONFIGURATION" on page 49, "When selecting the SPEAKER DISTANCE" on page
51, "Adjusting each channel level with test tone" and "Adjusting the current channel levels" on page 37.)
2. Place the microphone on a flat level surface at your normal
listening position.
• 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.
3. For the speakers to be set to "Small", select the desired
crossover frequency performing the "CROSSOVER FREQ."
procedure.(For details, refer to "When selecting the
CROSSOVER FREQUENCY" on page 54.)
