Sony Sony STR-AN1000 7.2-Channel AV Receiver with Dolby Atmos SPEAKER CONFIG Error Fix: Speaker Detection / Configuration Error

Error code SPEAKER CONFIG on the Sony Sony STR-AN1000 7.2-Channel AV Receiver with Dolby Atmos means: Speaker Detection / Configuration Error. The receiver does not detect one or more connected speakers during the auto-calibration process, the auto-calibration microphone setup produces obviously incorrect distance or level results, or the receiver reports a speaker configuration error. Verify all speaker wire connections are secure and making good metal-to-metal contact at both the receiver terminals and the speaker terminals. The calibration microphone must be placed at ear height in the primary listening position, pointed upward. Reduce ambient noise during calibration — turn off fans, air conditioning, and close windows, as background noise interferes with the measurement tones. Run the calibration process multiple times and compare results for consistency. If the auto-calibration consistently produces poor results for a specific speaker, that speaker or its wiring may be faulty. Manually adjust channel levels, speaker distances, and crossover frequencies if the automatic calibration is unsatisfactory.
