2. Before you perform Auto Calibration

Before you perform Auto Calibration, check the following items:

Set up and connect the speakers.

Do not connect any microphones other than the supplied calibration microphone to the CALIBRATION MIC

jack.

If using a bi-amplifier connection or speakers with a front B connection, set the assignment for the

SPEAKERS SURROUND BACK/HEIGHT (FRONT B/BI-AMP/ZONE 2) terminals properly. For details, see

“

Assigning the surround back speaker terminals (SB Speaker Assign).”

Set the speaker output to a setting other than [SPEAKERS OFF]. For details, see “

4. Selecting the front

speakers.”

Remove any obstructions between the calibration microphone and the speakers.

For accurate measurement, make sure the environment is quiet and free from noise.

Note

The speakers emit very loud sound during the calibration and the volume cannot be adjusted. Be considerate of your

neighbors and any children who are present.

If the muting function has been activated before you perform Auto Calibration, the muting function will shut off

automatically.

It may not be possible to take the correct measurements or to perform Auto Calibration at all if special speakers such as

dipole speakers are used.

The measurement result is not utilized when [Direct] is being used and an analog input is selected.

The measurement result may be not utilized, depending on the audio formats.
