This guide will help you understand the basic menu structure of the Cinema 12 and get the
most basic settings configured. Pay attention to the italic portions to steer clear of common
setup mistakes. The manual covers this information in more detail.
AUTO SETUP
Audio setup uses the included microphone to configure and calibrate the Cinema 12 to your
room. Please note. If you use this feature, you must NOT select the HDMI 1, 2, 3, or 4 inputs
as this will cause the auto setup to not function. Please also be sure to set the volume to an
appropriate level and keep the room quiet. Stray noises and sound can affect the auto-setup's
accuracy. Auto set up is a good place to start. However, you will receive the best possible
audio quality by setting up manually or by tweaking the auto setup results.
