AUTO SETUP

SETUP
English
The supplied optimizer microphone collects and analyzes the sound that this unit produces in your actual listening
environment. Follow the procedure below to connect the optimizer microphone to this unit and make sure that the
optimizer microphone is placed in a proper location and that there are no large obstacles between the optimizer
microphone and the walls in your listening room.
• After you have completed the AUTO SETUP procedure, be sure to disconnect the optimizer microphone.
• The optimizer microphone is sensitive to heat.
– Keep it away from direct sunlight.
– Do not place it on top of this unit.
• Do not connect the optimizer microphone to an extension cable as doing so may result in an inaccurate sound optimization.
• An error may occur during the AUTO SETUP procedure if the optimizer microphone is not properly placed in your listening room. To
avoid the possibility of an error:
– Do not place the optimizer microphone to the extreme right or left from the center of this unit.
– Do not place the optimizer microphone within 2 m from the front of this unit.
– Do not place the optimizer microphone more than 1 m from the center height of this unit.
• Make sure that there are no obstacles between the optimizer microphone and the walls in your listening room as these objects obstruct
the path of sound beams. However, any objects that are in contact with the walls will be regarded as a protruding part of the walls.
• The best possible results are achieved if the optimizer microphone is placed at the same height as your ears would be when you are
seated in your listening position. However, if this is not possible, you can manually fine-tune the sound beam angle and balance the
sound beam output levels using MANUAL SETUP (see page 63) once the AUTO SETUP procedure is completed.
• If a subwoofer with adjustable volume and crossover/high cut frequency controls is connected to this unit, set the volume between 9
and 12 o’clock as viewed on a conventional clockface and set the crossover/high cut frequency to the maximum.

level surface more than 2 m from the front of
the unit and within 1 m from the center height
of the unit with the optimizer microphone
head upward at your normal listening
position.
Be sure to place the optimizer microphone on an imaginary
center line drawn from this unit.

You may want to use a tripod or the supplied cardboard
microphone stand to affix the optimizer microphone at the
same height as your ears would be when you are seated in
your listening position.
