As it is with an audio system. What Audyssey et al have come up with is a great marketing tool and clever feature which many find appealing. But to believe it is the only way to tailor your system for the best sound is to follow the lemmings off the cliff face.
I've tried many of the auto set-ups included on modern day receivers and they are a decent way to get up and running. For those who like a sound other than what auto set-ups do, there's a really good alternative. It's very simple. Let your ears decide. To many I've spoken with, manual set-up yields greater reward.
In rooms where the speakers have first say with placement over furnishings, by-passing the receiver's processor completely can also result in better sound via the Blu-ray players analog outs (providing it has the necessary decoders built-in of course).

It's a lot easier to understand once you've experienced it.

As it stands, you are either a particularly interested party in the auto set-up industry or you are Audyssey's wet dream.
