The point I'm making is the mic doesn't pick-up the sound the same way the ear does. Therefore it has significant limitations as a means to getting the best sound from your system. It's a convenience for those who aren't confident with their ability to tackle the manual set-up or for those who can't be bothered.
I've installed numerous receivers with auto set-up and whenever I've done the comparison (many times), the manual set-up has always yielded superior sonic results. It's simple why this is the case, the users ear knows what it likes, the mic is not the user's ear, and the processor's auto-mode doesn't know what the user likes to hear.
