Abstract:
Embodiments of systems and methods are described for estimating a position of a loudspeaker and notifying a listener if an abnormal condition is detected, such as an incorrect loudspeaker orientation or an obstruction in a path between the loudspeaker and a microphone array. For example, a front component of a multi-channel surround sound system may include the microphone array and a position estimation engine. The position estimation engine may estimate the distance between the loudspeaker and the microphone array. In addition, the position estimation engine may estimate an angle of the loudspeaker using a first technique. The position estimation engine may also estimate an angle of the loudspeaker using a second technique. The two angles can be processed to determine whether the abnormal condition exists. If the abnormal condition exists, a listener can be notified and be provided with suggestions for resolving the issue in a graphical user interface.

Claim (Index 11):
The method of  claim 10 , wherein determining that an abnormal condition corresponding to a loudspeaker exists further comprises determining that the loudspeaker is placed to the right of a second loudspeaker coupled to a right surround jack of the A/V component and that the loudspeaker is coupled to a left surround jack of the A/V component based, at least in part, on a comparison of at least one of the first angle and the second angle with an expected value.
