Marantz NR1604 User Manual

• When performing Audyssey® Setup, Audyssey MultEQ®/ 

Audyssey Dynamic EQ®/Audyssey Dynamic Volume® functions 

become active (

• To set up the speakers manually, use “Speakers” (

) 

on the menu.

• Make the room as quiet as possible. Background noise can disrupt 

the room measurements. Close windows and turn off the power on 

electronic devices (TVs, radios, air conditioners, fluorescent lights, 

etc.). The measurements could be affected by the sounds emitted 

by such devices.

• During the measurement process, place cell phones outside the 

listening room. Cell phone signals could disrupt the measurements.

• Do not unplug the Setup and measurement microphone from the 

main unit until Audyssey® Setup is completed.

• Do not stand between the speakers and Setup and measurement 

microphone or allow obstacles in the path while the measurements 

are being made. This will cause inaccurate readings.

• During the measurement process, audible test tones will come from 

the speakers and subwoofer(s), but this is part of normal operation. 

If there is background noise in the room, these test signals will 

increase in volume.

• Operating 

df

 on the remote 

control unit or 

 on the main unit 

during the measurements will cancel the 

measurements.

• Measurement cannot be performed when 

headphones are connected. Unplug the 

headphones before performing Audyssey® 

Setup.

Here, we explain “Audyssey® Setup”, which allows you to automatically 

make the optimal settings for your speakers, and “Network”, which 

allows you to connect this unit to a home network (LAN).

This unit lets you play via your home network (LAN) music files stored 

on a computer and music content such as that from Internet Radio.

• Measurements are performed by placing the Setup and measurement 

microphone successively at multiple positions throughout the entire 

listening area, as shown in GExample  qH. 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 GExample wH, 

measuring at multiple points throughout the listening environment 

results in more effective correction.

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® Setup, place the Setup and 

measurement microphone in the main listening position. Audyssey 

MultEQ® uses the measurements from this position to calculate 

speaker distance, level, polarity, and the optimum crossover value for 

the subwoofer.
