• This procedure lets you measure the acoustic properties of your
speakers and listening room and make the optimum settings
automatically.
• This function provides the optimum listening environment for all
listening positions in a home theater where several people view or
listen to the video or audio source simultaneously.
The measurements are performed by moving the setup microphone
successively to the different positions where the family members
sit within the listening area surrounded by the speakers, as
shown in
Example
q
. For better results, we recommend making
measurements in 6 or more positions.
Even if the home theater is only used by a small number of persons
as shown in
Example
w
, measuring at points around the listening
position results in more effective correction.

About the main listening position (*M)
The main listening position refers to the center of the listening
position, or the place where you would sit to watch or listen when
alone.
This position is used as the basis when measuring the distance of
the speakers.
