Before you perform Auto Calibration

  • Set up and connect the speakers.
  • Disconnect the headphones.
  • Remove any obstacles between the calibration microphone and the speakers.
  • Do not connect any microphones other than the supplied calibration microphone to the CALIBRATION MIC jack.
  • When [Bluetooth Mode] is set to [Transmitter], cancel the setting before performing Auto Calibration.
  • For accurate measurement, make sure the environment is quiet and free from noise.
  • Set the speaker output to a setting other than [SPK OFF]. See “Selecting the front speakers.”
  • If using a bi-amplifier connection or speakers with a front B connection, set the assignment for the SPEAKERS SURROUND BACK/HEIGHT (FRONT B/BI-AMP/ZONE 3) terminals properly. For details, see “Assigning the surround back speaker terminals (Surround Back Speaker Assign).”

Note

  • The speakers emit very loud sound during the calibration and the volume cannot be adjusted. Be considerate of your neighbors and any children who are present.
  • If the muting function has been activated before you perform Auto Calibration, the muting function will shut off automatically.
  • It may not be possible to take the correct measurements or to perform Auto Calibration at all if special speakers such as dipole speakers are used.

Confirming the subwoofer setup

  • Before using a subwoofer, turn on the subwoofer and turn up the volume. Turn the LEVEL to just before the mid-point.

  • When a subwoofer with a crossover frequency function is connected, set the value to maximum.

  • When a subwoofer with an auto standby function is connected, set it to off (deactivated).

Note

  • Depending on the characteristics of the subwoofer you are using, the setup distance value may be different from the actual position.
