Select “Continue”, then press ENTER.
Start the analysis and storage of the measurement results.
Analysis takes several minutes to complete.
The more speakers and measurement positions that there are, the more time it takes to perform the analysis.
NOTE
When the measurement results are being saved, make sure the power is not turned off.
Perform the settings for Audyssey Dynamic EQ® and Audyssey Dynamic Volume®.
The following screen is displayed during the analysis. Configure the settings as preferred.
Dynamic EQ corrects the frequency response in consideration of the audio characteristics of the room and human hearing ability so that sound can be heard even at low volume.
This is recommended when using the unit with the volume turned down, e.g. when enjoying a movie or TV program in the middle of the night.
Dynamic Volume adjusts the output volume to the optimal level while constantly monitoring the level of the audio input to the unit.
Optimal volume control is performed automatically without any loss in the dynamism and clarity of the sound when, for example, the volume suddenly increases for commercials shown during television programs.
When the analysis and storage ends, unplug the Sound calibration microphone from the SETUP MIC jack on the main unit and then press “Next”.
Select “Details” and press ENTER to verify the measurement results.
Subwoofers may measure a greater reported distance than the actual distance due to added electrical delay common in subwoofers.
NOTE
Do not change the speaker connection or subwoofer volume after Audyssey® Setup. If these are changed, run Audyssey® Setup again in order to configure the optimum equalizer settings.
