environment, run “Auto Setup” again to recalibrate your system.

• The distances displayed in the “Distance” results may be longer than the 

actual distance depending on the characteristics of your subwoofer or 
external amplifiers if you connect them.

• In the “Equalizing” results, different values may be set for the same band 

to provide finer adjustments.

• Even if you change the setting of “PEQ Select”, the equalizer type that is 

displayed in “Equalizing” is not changed.

• You can also set the parametric equalizer type by using “Parametric EQ” in 

“Manual Setup” (see page 104).

• You can set the connected subwoofer phases by using “Phase” in “Manual 

Setup” (see page 101).

You can use the multiple-point measurement feature to optimize up 
to eight listening positions in a listening room and speaker angle 
measurement feature to optimize the speakers for the effects of the 
sound field programs.

• Before starting the operations, prepare the supplied microphone base.
• You can make fine adjustments of this unit by using the multiple-point 

measurement and speaker angle measurement features, however it takes 
from 30 seconds to 3 minutes to make the measurements at each listening 
point.

The following listening room is set as the example in the following 
instructions.

– Select “Flat” to average the frequency response of all 

speakers. Recommended if all of your speakers are 
of similar quality.

– Select “Front” to adjust the frequency response of
