About setup microphone placement
• Measurements are performed by placing the setup microphone successively at multiple positions
throughout the entire listening area, as shown in
G
Example
q
H
. For best results, we recommend you
measure in six positions, as shown in the illustration (up to six positions).
• Even if the listening environment is small as shown in
G
Example
w
H
, measuring at multiple points
throughout the listening environment results in more effective correction.

About the main listening position (*M)
The main listening position is the position where listeners would normally sit or where one would
normally sit alone within the listening environment. Before starting Audyssey Auto Setup, place the setup
microphone in the main listening position. Audyssey MultEQ® uses the measurements from this position
to calculate speaker distance, level, polarity, and the optimum crossover value for the subwoofer.
The “Simple version” describes the installation, connection and setup methods for 5.1-channel speakers.
See page 30 for the installation, connection and setup methods for speakers other than 5.1-channel speakers.
