2-1 AUTO SETUP (MultEQ™ SETUP)
The AUTO SETUP (MultEQ™ Setup) feature of
the unit measures sound characteristics of the
speaker system and room where the unit is used and
automatically optimizes settings.
The Audyssey MultEQ™ technology adopted by
this unit 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.
To set up the speaker system (i.e., adjusting speaker
distance, etc.) without using the AUTO SETUP feature,
see "MANUAL SETUP" on page 30 of the manual.
HOW TO PERFORM AUTO SETUP
During measurement, the OSD menu displays the
condition, therefore turn power to the monitor on.
1.
Connect the speakers, power amp of a MM8003
or other amp to this unit and place the speakers
in suitable locations.
2.

jack on the unit.

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 this unit during this
time.
