Remote Control Batteries

The HR085 Remote Control included with the 

MX170 is powered by two AAA batteries. To insert 

or remove batteries, open the battery compartment by 

removing the cover located on the back of the remote. 

To open, pull the clasp located just above the opening 

downward.

RoomPerfect™  Setup

RoomPerfect™  is an intelligent system which will 

fine-tune your system to properly interact with the 

room’s acoustics through precise calibration. This 

will get the highest possible performance from your 

complete system providing a tighter and more detailed 

sound with increased imaging. 

The RoomPerfect™  Measure and Adjustment Process 

uses multiple measurement locations in the listening 

room to achieve the best possible acoustical results. 

The Focus Position (location in the room) is typically 

where one would be during serious viewing/listening. 

To prepare for measuring:

•  Assemble the supplied microphone stand with 

attached boom and microphone clip (holder) 

and place the microphone on the clip

•  Connect the Microphone to the MX170 MIC 

Input on the Rear Panel using the supplied 

microphone (XLR) cable

•  Place the microphone at the Focus Position for 

the initial measurement

• 

Set trim controls to the flat setting position

•  Try to minimize external noises by shutting 

windows and unnecessary noise producing 

equipment

•  Make sure speakers have been setup and “Verify 

Speakers” has been run

Open the Setup menu on the browser window for 

the MX170. The address will be something like 

http://192.168.1.121/setup with your actual IP address 

used. (You can find your IP address by pushing the 

DSIPLAY MODE button until the IP address appears 

on the LED screen.) 

Setup can also be performed using an HDMI attached 

monitor and the Remote Control. Arrow keys can 

navigate the screens.

•  Select “Speakers & Room” from the menu 

located on the left

•  Select “RoomPerfect™ ” from the drop down 

menu

You will be asked to enter speaker distances from the 

Focus Position if this information was not previously 

entered.The more accurate these measurement are, the 

more precise 3D effects will be. A laser measure may 

be a helpful tool to measure the distance from speaker 

to the exact Focus Position.
Test signals will be run to set the proper testing 

volume. Adjust the volume as necessary to achieve 

target volume.
Once target volume is set, RoomPerfect™  will begin 

playing a series of tones. 
When the test is complete, move the microphone to 

a random spot in the room. Use various heights and 

positions at least 2 feet from other test locations. Do 

not test behind front speakers.
Each location will add more information. Continue 

until the room knowledge is in the upper 90 percent 

range. 

When satisfied, choose “Done”. You will be given the 

opportunity to backup the MX170 to a USB or SD 

card. 
When the RoomPerfect™  measurements are 

completed and implemented, the RoomPerfect™  

LED will illuminate on the MX170 front panel.

Backup and Restore 

The MX170 A/V Processor allows you to save setup 

information including RoomPerfect™  settings. 

After investing time in setting up your system, it is 

recommended that you save your settings.
To Save settings:

•  Insert a USB drive in the USB 1 or 2 slot or 

use the SD-card inserted from the factory (or 

replace that SD-card)

•  In the SETUP menu of the MX170, choose 

“Manage software” and then choose “Backup”
