Set up speakers (Audyssey® Auto Setup)
GUI
The acoustic characteristics of the connected speakers and listening room are measured and the optimum settings are made automatically. This is called "Audyssey® Auto Setup".
To perform measurement, place the setup microphone in multiple locations all around the listening area. For best results, we recommend you measure in six positions, as shown in the illustration (up to six positions).
- When performing Audyssey® Auto Setup, Audyssey MultEQ®/ Audyssey Dynamic EQ®/Audyssey Dynamic Volume® functions become active (page 78, 791).
- To set up the speakers manually, use "Speaker Setup" (page 83) on the menu.
NOTE
- 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).
- Do not unplug the setup microphone from the main unit until Audyssey® Auto Setup is completed.
- 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.
- Loud test sounds may be played during Audyssey® Auto setup. This is part of normal operation. If there is background noise in room, these test signals will increase in volume.
- Operating (p) ▲▼ during the measurements will cancel the measurements.
• Measurement cannot be performed when headphones are connected.
About setup microphone placement
- Measurements are performed by placing the setup microphone successively at multiple positions throughout the entire listening area, as shown in [Example ①]. For best results, we recommend you measure in six positions, as shown in the illustration (up to six positions).
- Even if the listening environment is small as shown in [Example ②], measuring at multiple points throughout the listening environment results in more effective correction.

About the main listening position (\*M)
The main listening position is the position where listeners would normally sit or where one would normally sit alone within the listening environment. Before starting Audyssey® Auto Setup, place the setup microphone in the main listening position. Audyssey MultEO® uses the measurements from this position to calculate speaker distance, level, polarity, and the optimum crossover value for the subwoofer.

Set up the microphone
Mount the setup microphone on a tripod or stand and place it in the main listening position.
When placing the setup microphone, adjust the height of the sound receptor to the level of the listener's ear.

- For speaker cable connections, see 📄 page 6 "Connecting the speakers".
• For speaker impedance, see page 51.
Connect
Bi-Amp connection
You can use the front speakers via the b-amp connection.
A bi-amp connection is to connect separate amplifiers to the tweeter terminals and woofer terminals of speakers compatible with the bi-amp function. This prevents the back electromotive force (returned force without output) of the woofer sent to the tweeter, which affects the sound quality of the tweeter, and you can enjoy playback with higher-quality sound.
In this case, set "Amp Assign" to "Bi-AMP" in steps 3 and 4 for "Set up "Amp Assign" (page 58).

For surround playback of a multichannel source, if you connect the center speaker, surround speakers and subwoofers, 5.1-channel playback is available.
NOTE
- For speaker cable connections, see 📄 page 6 "Connecting the speakers".
• For speaker impedance, see page 51. - Use speakers compatible with bi-amp connections.
- When making biamp connections, be sure to remove the short-circuiting plate or wire between the speaker's woofer and tweeter terminals.

| Reference OffsetAudyssey Dynamic EQ®is referenced to the standard film mix level. It makes adjustments to maintain the reference response and surround envelopment when the volume is turned down from 0 dB. However, film reference level is not always used in music or other non-film content. Dynamic EQ®Reference Level Offset provides three offsets from the film level reference (5 dB, 10 dB, and 15 dB) that can be selected when the mix level of the content is not within the standard. | 0dB(Film Ref): This is the default setting and should be used when listening to movies.5dB: Select this setting for content that has a very wide dynamic range, such as classical music.10dB: Select this setting for jazz or other music that has a wider dynamic range. This setting should also be selected for TV content as that is usually mixed at 10 dB below film reference.15dB: Select this setting for pop/rock music or other program material that is mixed at very high listening levels and has a compressed dynamic range. |
| Dynamic Volume®Solve the problem of large variations in volume level between TV, movies and other content (between quiet passages and loud passages, etc.) by automatically adjusting to the user's preferred volume setting. | Midnight: Most adjustment to softest and loudest sounds.Evening: Medium adjustment to loudest and softest sound.Day: Least adjustment to loudest and softest sounds.OFF: Do not use "Dynamic Volume®". |

RESTORER
Compressed audio formats such as MP3, WMA (Windows Media Audio) and MPEG-4 AAC reduce the amount of data by eliminating signal components that are hard for the human ear to hear. The RESTORER function generates the signals eliminated upon compression, restoring the sound to conditions near those of the original sound before compression. It also corrects the sense of volume of the base to obtain richer sound with compressed audio signals.
Setting details
OFF: Do not use RESTORER.
Mode1 (RESTORER 64): Optimized mode for compressed sources with very weak highs.
Mode2 (RESTORER 96): Apply suitable bass and treble boost for all compressed sources
