ENGLISH
Make the Optimal Speaker Settings, and Correct the Room Acoustics (Audyssey™ Auto Setup)
NOTE
• Loud test sounds may be played during Audyssey MultEQ ®
automatic speaker setup. This is part of normal operation. If there
is background noise in room, these test signals will increase in
volume.
• Do not stand between the speakers and setup microphone or allow
obstacles in the path while the measurements are being made. This
will cause inaccurate readings.
• Make the room as quiet as possible. Background noise can disrupt
the room measurements. Close windows, silence cell phones,
televisions, radios, air conditioners, fluorescent lights, home
appliances, light dimmers, or other devices as measurements may
be affected by these sounds.
Cell phones should be placed away from all audio electronics during
the measurement process as Radio Frequency Interference (RFI)
may cause measurement disruptions (even if the cell phone is not in
use).
MASTER VOLUME
• Operating during the measurements will cancel
the measurements.
