Before you perform Auto Calibration
- Set up and connect the speakers.
- When connecting Sony wireless rear speakers/subwoofer (not supplied) other than the SA-SW3, SA-SW5, SA-RS3S, or SA-RS5 to this receiver, it is necessary to update the software of the receiver to the latest version by proceeding to [Software Update] after completing language selection in System Settings. For details, refer to the Help Guide for the Sony wireless rear speakers/subwoofer (not supplied).
- 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 [SPEAKERS 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 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.
