First Time Setup

This section explains the settings that you need to make before using the AV receiver for the very first time.
Automatic Speaker Setup
(Audyssey 2EQ)
With the supplied speaker setup microphone, the
Audyssey 2EQ function can measure the number of
speakers connected, their sizes, crossover frequencies,
and distances from the listening position, and then calcu-
late the optimal speaker settings for your listening envi-
ronment.
Before using this function, connect and position all of
your speakers.
If any of your speakers are 4 ohms, change the min-
imum speaker impedance setting below before run-
ning the automatic speaker setup (not north
American model).
Minimum Speaker Impedance Setup
