at least 20 inches (50cm) away from the
wall. Failure to do so will result in inaccurate
readings
• During the measurement process, audible
test tones will come from the speakers and
subwoofer(s), but this is part of normal
operation. If there is background noise in the
room, these test signals will increase in volume
• Operating VOLUME on the Remote Control
unit or VOLUME on the main unit during the
measurements will cancel the measurements
Begin Audyssey
With your speakers properly dened in Amp
Assign and the Microphone set up and in the Focus
position:
• Go to the Audyssey menu in the MX100
Browser interface Setup>Audyssey. Select
“Next” (see Figure 23)
• Set the MX100 volume for approximately
50% (-6.5 dB). This setting can be adjusted
for your circumstances upon subsequent tests.
You can always abort a test and begin again.
If the volume is set too low, your speakers
will show as Not Detected after the test. If you
heard a tone from the speakers during the test
but the speakers were not detected, turn the
Right (VOLUME) Knob up (clockwise) and
repeat the test using the Repeat Test button.
• Select “Begin Test” (see Figure 24)
• A test tone will be sent to all channels, one
at a time to identify the channels making up
your system.
• When the detected speakers are displayed,
select "Next Step". This will start the
Measurement Process. A special audio test
signal will be sent to all previously detected
channels, one at a time
• Leave the Microphone in the Focus Position
for Calibration Position 0 (---). Select
“Continue” (see Figure 25)
• After the series of tones end and the
word “calibrating” disappears, move the
Microphone to a new Calibration position no
more than two feet (60cm) from the previous
position. Select “Continue”
• Repeat the above step until completing
between three and a maximum of six
Calibration positions. Press “Complete” when
you are done testing
• On the next screen select “Continue” to
analyze the data (see Figure 26)
