3-1 AUTO SETUP
The unit's AUTO SETUP function automatically
measures the acoustic characteristics of the
speaker systems and listening room where the unit
is installed using the microphone provided, and sets
the optimum listening environment.
HOW TO OPERATE AUTO SETUP
During the measurement process, as the current
statuses will be displayed on the OSD menu screen,
turn on the monitor's power.
1.
Connect the microphone provided to the
SETUP MIC jack on the front panel.
2.
Position the microphone at the main
listening point.
Notes
• Place the microphone at the main listening point
before carrying out the measurements.
• With the microphone pointed straight up at the
ceiling at the listening point, use a stand or tripod
to adjust the microphone to the same height above
the fl oor level as your ears.
• Be sure not to place any obstacles between the
speakers and microphone.
• When using a subwoofer with built-in amplifi er,
set the volume control to the center position, and
set the crossover frequency to off or the highest
frequency.
• While the measurements are being performed,
do not stand between the microphone and either
speaker. Make the listening room as quiet as
possible. Dark noise may adversely affect the
indoor measurements. Close the windows, and
turn off the power of all devices (such as cell
phones, TV, radio, air conditioner, fl uorescent
lights, electrical appliances or dimmers).
• During the measurement process, place your cell
phone at a distance from all the audio electronic
devices.
Cell phones, even when they are not being used,
may adversely affect the measurements due to
RFI (radio frequency interference).
• We recommend that the AUTO SETUP operation
be performed using the remote controller rather
than the front panel controls.
• The volume levels of the test tones played from
each channel will exceed the peripheral noise
in the listening environment and continue to
increase until the optimum signal-to-noise ratio
is attained.
• Proceed while taking the environment and any
nearby children into consideration.
3.
Select SPEAKER SETUP on the MAIN
MENU, press the
3/4 cursor buttons to

button to display the start screen.
