CHAPTER 5
Auto EQ
The automatic EQ procedure uses
the microphone to measure and
evaluate your system. This takes into
account room effects, and automati-
cally attens out the response. After
the measurements are complete, the
EQ of your system is adjusted. The
procedure does not use any previous-
ly measured information from the auto
setup, or user-entered information.

1. Place the measurement micro-
phone on the back of your fa-
vorite listening couch or chair.
Try to place it at head height if
possible, in the position where
your head normally is while
listening to your home theater.
The microphone should point
straight up towards the ceiling,
so it has an omni-directional
response for highest accuracy.
