Before you perform Auto
Calibration
Before you perform Auto Calibration, check
the following items.
• Set up and connect the speakers (page 19,
21).
• Connect only the supplied optimizer
microphone to the AUTO CAL MIC jack.
Do not connect other microphones to this
jack.
• Set "Sur Back Assign" to "BI-AMP" in the
Speaker Settings menu if you use
bi-amplifier connection (page 106).
• Set "Sur Back Assign" to "SPEAKER B" in
the Speaker Settings menu if you use
speakers front B connection (page 41).
• Pair the surround amplifier to S-AIR main
unit if you want to use surround amplifier.
• Make sure the speaker output is not set to
"SPK OFF" (page 42).
• Disconnect the headphones.
• Remove any obstacles in the path between
the optimizer microphone and the speakers
to avoid measurement errors.
• Make sure the environment is quiet to avoid
the effect of noise and get a more accurate
measurement.
• Select the seating position as position 1, 2 or
3 to save the Auto Calibration result
(page 108).
Notes
• During the measurement, 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.
• If the muting function has been activated before
you perform Auto Calibration, the muting function
will be set to off automatically.
• The measurements may not be performed correctly
or Auto Calibration cannot be performed when
special speakers, such as dipole speakers are used.
