AUDYSSEY AUTO CALIBRATION

It has been shown that many, if not most, surround sound systems are not
accurately setup and calibrated. To be done properly, calibration requires
special knowledge and instrumentation that the average person probably
doesn't possess.
The Audyssey Auto Setup and Calibration featured in T 787 uses a
microphone, along with sophisticated digital electronics built into your
T 787, to automatically setup and calibrate the T 787 to the exact speakers
and speaker placement of your own unique Home Theatre.
The following measurements are performed:
• Detection : Speaker configuration is detected including number of
surround speakers and whether a subwoofer and center channel is
connected.
• Size : T 787 crossover is set based on each channel's signal handling
capability and the subwoofer crossover is automatically set.
• Level : SPL of each speaker is matched within 1dB at the microphone
position.
• Distance : is accurately set to within 1 foot (30 centimeters) of the
microphone for each speaker position.
• Polarity : the setup program will detect and notify the user if any
speakers are connected improperly. Incorrect polarity can ruin the
illusion of realism offered by surround sound.
This is a one-time set up, unless speakers are moved or changed, in which
case the calibration should be performed again.
