Auto speaker setup using the setup microphone
Using the supplied setup microphone, you can measure such items as distance from the seating area, polarity and size
and make adjustment for connected speakers.
Keep quiet during the auto speaker setup. Conversational voice, air-conditioning noise and small sounds made by winds may cause an error or
produce an incorrect setting. Speakers output loud test signals during the auto speaker setup. Make sure to keep little children out of the room.
• Mute the TV volume before starting the auto speaker setup.
• When the subwoofer is connected, make sure it is turned on. (There are subwoofer models that turn off automatically.)
Set the subwoofer volume to the normal listening level.

Note
• The setup microphone is sensitive to heat. Keep it away from direct sunlight and avoid placing it on top of the unit.
• These settings remain effective after the unit goes off.
• The setup microphone jack is for use with the setup microphone only. Do not connect other microphones.
• The volume may reach an extremely high level when you repeat the auto speaker setup.
When the auto speaker setup is finished, check the volume before starting playback.
Such factors as speaker types, room conditions and speaker placement may cause the unit to set speaker size, lowpass filter frequency and other
items differently for the same type of speakers or produce settings that differ from the actual characteristics of respective speakers.
When sound from speakers seems odd, check the following settings. When you find undesirable settings, correct them manually.
