Audyssey  MultEQ
®
  XT  automatically  measures  the  acoustical 
problems  in  the  listening  environment  to  create  the  best  audio 
experience for your home theater.
When performing Audyssey Auto Setup, the MultEQ
®
 XT / Dynamic 
EQ™ / Dynamic Volume™ functions become valid (vpage 92, 93). 
Use the included setup microphone (DM-A409) to perform Audyssey 
Auto Setup. 
Measurements  are  performed  by  placing  the  setup  microphone 
successively  at  multiple  positions  throughout  the  entire  listening 
area, as shown in GExample  qH. For best results, we  recommend 
you measure in 6 or more positions, as shown in the illustration. 
 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.

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