2-1 AUTO SETUP (MultEQ™ SETUP)
The AUTO SETUP (MultEQ™ Setup) feature of
the SR6001 measures sound characteristics of the
speaker system and room where the receiver is used
and automatically optimizes settings.
The Audyssey MultEQ™ technology adopted by the
SR6001 provides the best listening environment for
multiple listeners.
To do this, the AUTO SETUP feature measures a
test tone emitted by each channel in a maximum of 6
listening positions, using the supplied microphone.
The measurement results are analyzed using an
original algorithm and environmental settings are
made to improve the sound characteristics of the
listening area.
Note:
• A special microphone (ACM1, option) is needed
to use the Audyssey MultiEQ function. Contact a
Marantz Authorized Dealer or Customer Support
regarding purchase of this microphone.
To set up the speaker system (i.e., adjusting speaker
distance, etc.) without using the AUTO SETUP feature,
see "MANUAL SETUP" on page 35 of the manual.

listening positions.
For the fi rst measurement, set the microphone in the
main listening position.

ear height in the listening position.
• Remove any obstructions between the speakers and
microphone.
• To use the internal subwoofer of the amp, set the
volume to the middle point and set the crossover
frequency to the highest.
• During measurement, step away from the microphone
and operate the SR6001 via the remote control unit
from a position that is out of the path of the speaker
sound.

measurement is loud. Be mindful of neighbors and
watch out for small children.

Note:
• The detection check measures the state of use of all
speakers whether actually used or not.
For example, if the center speaker is not used, the
test tone will require time to go from the L-channel
to the R-channel, therefore be careful not to unplug
the microphone or operate the SR6001 during this
time.
