Remote Control Batteries
The HR085 Remote Control included with the
MX180 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 MX180 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 MX180. 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
DISPLAY 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 MX180 to a USB or SD
card.
When the RoomPerfect™ measurements are
completed and implemented, the RoomPerfect™
LED will illuminate on the MX180 front panel.
