29 AUTO SETUP (INTELLIBEAM) AUTO SETUP (IntelliBeam) This unit creates a sound field by reflecting sound beams on the walls of your listening room and broadening the cohesion of all the channels. Just as you would arrange the seaker osition of other audio systems, you need to set the beam angle to enjoy the best ossible sound from this unit. This unit emloys the beam otimization and sound otimization features with the aid of the sulied otimizer microhone, allowing you to avoid troublesome listening-based setu and achieving highly accurate sound adjustments that best match your listening environment. We call these 2 features IntelliBeam generically. The beam otimization creates the best ossible surround sound field without manually setting the arameters for your listening room. The sound otimization feature erforms the following checks and automatically makes aroriate sound adjustments. DISTANCE: Checks the distance of each beam from this unit and adjusts the delay of each channel so that each sound beam reaches the listening osition at the same time. EQUALIZING: Adjusts frequency and levels of each channel s arametric equalizer to reduce coloration across the channels and create a cohesive sound field. The sound otimization feature incororates three arameters (frequency, level and Q factor) for each of the seven bands in its arametric equalizer to rovide highly recise automatic adjustment of frequency characteristics. LEVEL: Checks and adjusts the sound outut level of each channel. The flow chart of AUTO SETUP This unit erforms a series of checks to otimize the beam angle, delay, volume and quality. You can choose to otimize all or art of the arameters.
