Audyssey MultEQ
®
automatically measures the acoustical problems
in the listening environment to create the best audio experience for
your home theater.
• When Audyssey™ Auto Setup procedure is performed, the MultEQ
®
,
Dynamic EQ™ and Dynamic Volume™ functions (vpage 73, 74)
are enabled.
• Use the included setup microphone (DM-A409) to perform Audyssey
Auto Setup procedure.
• Measurements are performed by placing the calibrated microphone
successively at multiple positions throughout the listening area as
shown in GExample qH. For best results, it is strongly recommended
to measure 6 positions so that the measurements have the proper
spatial weighting.
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.

Important Information
About the main listening position (*M)
The main listening position refers to the most central position where
one would normally sit within the listening environment.
MultEQ uses the measurements from this position to calculate
speaker distance, level, polarity, and the optimum crossover value
for the subwoofer.
