Before you perform Auto
Calibration
Before you perform the Auto Calibration, set
up and connect the speakers (page 17, 18).
• The AUTO CAL MIC jack is used for the
supplied optimizer microphone only. Do not
connect other microphones to this jack.
Doing so may damage the receiver and the
microphone.
• During the calibration, the sound that comes
out of the speakers is very loud. The volume
of the sound cannot be adjusted. Pay
attention to the presence of children or to the
effect on your neighborhood.
• Perform the Auto Calibration in a quiet
environment to avoid the effect of noise and
get a more accurate measurement.
• If there are any obstacles in the path between
the optimizer microphone and the speakers,
the calibration cannot be performed
correctly. Remove any obstacles from the
measurement area to avoid measurement
error.
• When you use a bi-amplifier connection, set
"SB ASSIGN" to "BI-AMP" in the
SPEAKER menu (page 52) before you
perform Auto Calibration.
• When you use speakers front B connection,
set "SB ASSIGN" to "SPK B" in the
SPEAKER menu (page 52) before you
perform Auto Calibration.
• If you want to use surround amplifier, be
sure to pair the surround amplifier to S-AIR
main unit before you perform Auto
Calibration (page 88).
• Select the seating position as position 1, 2 or
3 to save the Auto Calibration result (page
38).
