the underlying logic and procedures are the same. 
To bring up the interface on your browser, put the IP 

address of the MX170 in the address bar. To determine 

the IP address, push the DISPLAY MODE button until 

the IP address appears in the display.
Choose SETUP from the top left of the screen. The 

local version will start in the SETUP menu. (See 

Figure 10.)

Figure 10–  Choosing SETUP from browser

Setup has the following sub-menus:

•  Source
•  Speakers & room
•  Video setup
•  Audio setup
•  Zone B
• 

System configuration

•  Manage software

In this manual, sub menus are denoted in the style 

“SETUP>Video setup>Video Input” which means 

from the “SETUP” menu choose “Video setup” 

and then choose “Video Input”. 

Speaker Setup

SETUP>Speakers & room>Speaker setup

This is where to tell the MX170 the numbers and 

types of speakers in your system. When entering 

this menu, you will need to acknowledge that “any 

changes to the speaker setup will require rerunning 

your RoomPerfect™  measurements.” Choose 

“Proceed” to continue.

Select a speaker location starting with the LF (or 

RF- they will be the same). Choose the speaker size 

according to this guide: 

Speaker size:

•  NONE- This means the Output is not used 

•  XXL- Plays a full range signal and can accept 

bass re-directed from other channels when in 

the LF/RF, LS/RS and LRS/RRS positions

•  XL- Full range but bass will not be re-directed 

to these speakers

•  L- Bass cutoff frequency is 40Hz

•  M- Bass cutoff frequency is 80Hz

•  S- Bass cutoff frequency is 100Hz

•  XS- Bass cutoff frequency is 120Hz

•  Custom- Bass cutoff can be manually set

When choosing a custom cutoff frequency, select a 

frequency higher than the lowest frequency that 

your speaker can play. If redirected bass will be 

played by a subwoofer instead of the full range 

speaker, choose a cutoff lower than the highest 

frequency the subwoofer can play.

The Bass cutoff frequency option is only available 

for the Custom speaker choice. Choose a bass cutoff 

frequency for custom speaker setting.
