This unit creates a sound field by reflecting sound beams on the
walls of your listening room and by broadening the cohesion of
all the channels. Just as you would arrange the speaker position of
other audio systems, you need to set the beam angle to enjoy the
best possible sound from this unit.
This unit employs the beam optimization and sound optimization
features with the aid of the supplied IntelliBeam microphone, allowing
you to avoid troublesome listening-based setup and achieving highly
accurate sound adjustments that best match your listening
environment. We call these two features “
IntelliBeam
” generically.
Beam optimization:
This feature optimizes the beam angle so that the parameter best
matches your listening environment.
Sound optimization:
This feature optimizes the beam delay, volume, and quality so
that the parameters best match your listening environment.
This unit performs these two automatic optimizations with the aid
of the supplied IntelliBeam microphone.
2)
Follow the procedure below to connect the IntelliBeam
microphone to this unit and place it in a proper location.
Auto setup for appropriate
surround effects (IntelliBeam)
Installing the IntelliBeam microphone
1
Place the IntelliBeam microphone on a flat
level surface at your normal listening position.
Use the supplied cardboard microphone stand or a tripod
to place the IntelliBeam microphone at the same height as
your ears would be when you are seated.

The AUTO SETUP procedure may not be run successfully if this
unit is installed in one of the rooms described in “Installing this
unit” on page 6. In such cases, run MANUAL SETUP (
p. 14) to
manually adjust the corresponding parameters.
•
Do not connect the IntelliBeam microphone to an extension cable
as doing so may result in an inaccurate sound optimization.
•
After you have completed the AUTO SETUP procedure, be sure
to disconnect the IntelliBeam microphone.
•
The IntelliBeam microphone is sensitive to heat.
– Keep the IntelliBeam microphone away from direct sunlight.
– Do not place the IntelliBeam microphone on top of this unit.

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.
However, any objects that are in contact with the walls
will be regarded as a protruding part of the walls.
