Auto speaker setup

Auto speaker setup allows you to achieve a satisfactory listening environment easily with the use of the supplied calibration
microphone as a detector of sound signals. The unit will first perform automatic speaker detection, then checks and adjusts the
following settings.

"Automatic speaker detection",

Before setup
• Conduct the auto speaker setup in a quiet environment. A noisy background will give unsatisfactory results.
• Put the subwoofer in position, switch it on, and sets its volume to the level you would normally use. If you do auto speaker setup
without the subwoofer, the front speakers will be set as large, possibly resulting in an unsatisfactory bass.

Process for auto speaker setup

Placing of calibration microphone.
1
Place on a flat surface at the seating area. Use a tripod for best results.
Connect the calibration microphone to the [SETUP
2
MIC] jack on the front panel.
Note
The calibration microphone is sensitive to heat. Keep it away from direct
sunlight and do not place it on top of the unit.
