Before you perform the Auto Calibration, set 
up and connect the speakers (page 13, 15).
• The AUTO CAL MIC jack is used for the 
supplied optimizer microphone only. Do not 
connect other microphones to this jack. 
Doing so may damage the receiver and the 
microphone.
• During the calibration, the sound that comes 
out of the speakers is very loud. The volume 
of the sound cannot be adjusted. Pay 
attention to the presence of children or to the 
effect on your neighborhood.
• Perform the Auto Calibration in a quiet 
environment to avoid the effect of noise and 
to get a more accurate measurement.
• If there are any obstacles in the path between 
the optimizer microphone and the speakers, 
the calibration cannot be performed 
correctly. Remove any obstacles from the 
measurement area to avoid measurement 
error.
Note
If the muting function has been activated before you 
perform Auto Calibration, the muting function will 
be set to off automatically.

microphone.
Place the optimizer microphone at your 
listening position.You can also use a stool 
or tripod so that the optimizer 
microphone remains at the same height as 
your ears.
Tip
When you face the speaker towards the optimizer 
microphone, you will get a more accurate 
measurement.
