About the Auto Setup

The Audyssey MultEQ auto setup function detects the presence of 
each speaker and automatically calculates the speaker size, channel 
level,  distance,  and  optimal  crossover  frequency  setting.  Audyssey 
MultEQ corrects acoustical distortions within the listening area.
Before starting, connect and position all of your speakers.
Once  started,  MultEQ  will  play  a  series  of  test  tones  through  each 
speaker.

NOTE

• Loud test sounds may be played during Audyssey MultEQ automatic 

speaker setup. This is part of normal operation.  If there is background 

noise in room, these test signals will increase in volume.

• Do not stand between the speakers and setup microphone or allow 

obstacles in the path while the measurements are being made. This 

will cause inaccurate readings.

• Make the room as quiet as possible. Background noise can disrupt 

the  room  measurements.  Close  windows,  silence  cell  phones, 

televisions,  radios,  air  conditioners,  fl uorescent  lights,  home 

appliances, light dimmers, or other devices as measurements may 

be affected by these sounds. 

  Cell phones should be placed away from all audio electronics during 

the  measurement  process  as  Radio  Frequency  Interference  (RFI) 

may cause measurement disruptions (even if the cell phone is not in 

use).

• Operating 

MASTER VOLUME

 during the measurements will cancel 

the measurements.

Step 1 : Speaker Detection

NOTE

Do not change the speaker connections or subwoofer volume after 
“Step 1”.

The  speaker  connection  and  polarity  are  detected  at  the  fi rst 
measurement  position  (main  listening  position).  The  following 
attributes are also determined at this time: “Speaker Size”, “Speaker 
Distance”, “Channel Level”, “Crossover Frequency”.

Select “Start 

0

”, then press 

o

.

  • Starts measuring the main listening position.

Select “Next 

0

”, then press 

o

.

•If an error message appears during the measurements, check “Error 

Messages”, take the advised action, then start the measurements 
again (

v

page 23).

• If  the  result  differs  from  the  actual  connection  status  or  an  error 

message appears, use 

i

 to on-screen display “Retry 

0

” and then 

press 

o

 to repeat the measurement.

• If  the  result  still  differs  from  the  actual  connection  status  after 

re-measurement  or  the  error  message  still  appears,  it  is  possible 
that  the  speakers  are  not  connected  properly.  Turn  the  AVR-889 
off,  check  the  speaker  connections  and  repeat  the  measurement 
process from the beginning.
