Making the Optimum Settings for the Connected Speakers Automatically (Audyssey Auto Setup)
The acoustic characteristics of the connected speakers and listening room are measured and the optimum settings are made automatically.
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).
Audyssey  MultEQ
®
  automatically  measures  the  acoustical 
problems in the listening environment to create the best  audio 
experience for your home theater.
• When  the  Audyssey  Auto  Setup  procedure  is  performed,  the 
MultEQ, Dynamic EQ and Dynamic Volume functions (vpage 41) 
are enabled.
• Use  the  included  setup  microphone  (DM-A409)  to  perform  the 
Audyssey Auto Setup procedure.
• Measurements are performed by placing the calibrated microphone 
successively at multiple positions  throughout the listening  area as 
shown in GExample qH. For best results, it is strongly recommended 
to measure 6 positions so that the measurements have the proper 
spatial weighting.
  Even if the listening environment is small as shown in GExample wH, 
measuring at multiple points throughout the listening environment 
results in more effective correction.

Important Information
About the main listening position (*M)
The main listening position refers to the most central position where 
one would normally sit within the listening environment.
MultEQ  uses  the  measurements  from  this  position  to  calculate 
speaker distance,  level, polarity, and the  optimum  crossover value 
for the subwoofer.
