Carrying out AUTO SETUP for appropriate surround effects
The IntelliBeam technology allows you to achieve sound adjustments that best match your listening environment. It is normal for loud test tones to be output during the AUTO SETUP procedure. Make sure that there are no children around in the listening room while the
AUTO SETUP procedure is in progress.
1. Place the IntelliBeam microphone at your normal listening position.
Assemble the cardboard microphone stand and place the IntelliBeam microphone on top of it horizontally as shown below.
Use the supplied cardboard microphone stand to place the IntelliBeam microphone at the same height as your ears would be when
you are seated.
Make sure that there are no obstacles between the IntelliBeam microphone and the walls in your listening room as these objects
obstruct the path of sound beams.
4. Connect the IntelliBeam microphone to the INTELLIBEAM MIC jack on the rear of the unit.
5. Make sure that your listening room is as quiet as possible.
For accurate measurement, turn off air conditioner or other devices that make noises.
Follow the instructions below and then leave the room. If you remain in the room, you may obstruct the beam, or the microphone may
pick up any sounds you make, possibly resulting in improper configuration of settings.
When leaving the room, bring this Quick Reference Guide with you. The AUTO SETUP procedure takes about 3 minutes. Wait outside
the room during the AUTO SETUP procedure.
To cancel the AUTO SETUP procedure after it is started, press the RETURN ( ) key on the remote control.

unit.
• If you hear a buzzer sound and an error message
appears on the TV, look for a solution in “If an error
message is displayed” on page 28 in the Owner’s
Manual.
7. Press the ENTER key.

SETUP COMPLETE” screen prompting you to begin
measurement again. Press the ENTER key to begin
measurement again.
