Press the //¤ Navigation Buttons o until the cursor is pointing to EZSET/EQ in the MASTER MENU. Press the OK/Enter Button o on the TC 30 or the Set Button oe to bring the new menu to the screen. * EZSET/EQ MAIN * Using EzSet/EQII The AVR 745 includes the latest Harman Kardon EzSet/EQII technology to automatically configure your system to deliver the best possible performance based on your specific speaker selection, where the speakers are placed in the room and the acoustic influences in your listening room. By using a series of test signals and the processing power of a Texas InstrumentsTM DA 610 digital signal processor, running at 250mHz. EzSet/EQII eliminates the need for manual adjustment of speaker "size", crossover, delay and output level settings while it adds the power of proprietary algorithms and configurable digital filters to deliver optimal sound reproduction. In addition to making system setup quick and easy, EzSet/EQII is more precise than manual settings. With EzSet/EQII, you are able to calibrate your system in a fraction of the time it would take to enter the settings manually, and with results that rival those achieved with expensive test equipment and time-consuming procedures. The end result is a system-calibration profile that enables your new receiver to deliver the best possible sound, no matter what type of speakers you have or what the properties of your listening room are. EzSet/EQII includes a number of improvements to the original version, including the ability to set up to three different sets of EQ measurements and the capability to handle dual subwoofers. The menu and setup system not only delivers improved precision for all measurements, but it also guides you through the step-bystep process of EQ Design. With EzSet/EQII, you can Select A M E E U A Z Z T N S S O U E E M A T T activity Q DESIGN ESIGN NUAL SETUP ESET SELECT MENU ATIC E L EQ D /EQ MA /EQ PR TO BACK MASTER Figure 12 There are four choices in the EZSET/EQ MAIN menu, three of which are relevant at this time. Use the //¤ Navigation Buttons D© to move the cursor next to the line that contains the type of setup you wish to perform, and then press the OK/Enter Button E on the TC 30 or the Set Button oe on the ZR 10 remote to start that process. · In most cases, you will want to use the Automatic mode, which calibrates the system for speaker pres- SYSTEM CONFIGURATION 29 SYSTEM CONFIGURATION ence, speaker "size", speaker crossover, channel output level, speaker-to-listener delay time and room equalization. To choose this mode, simply press the OK/Enter Button E on the TC 30 or the Set Button oe, as the cursor is already pointing to Automatic when the menu appears on the screen. Then press the OK/Enter Button E on the TC 30 or the Set Button oe again when the AUTOMATIC EZSet/EQII menu appears, and continue to Step 1 of the EQ Design process. · If you wish to set the speaker size and crossover, channel delay or channel output levels manually and then have EzSet/EQII set the room equalization, with the EZSET/EQ MAIN menu (Figure 12) on the screen, press the //¤ Navigation Buttons D© to move the cursor to the EZSET/EQ MANUAL SETUP line and then press the OK/Enter Button E on the TC 30 or the Set Button oe on the ZR 10 remote. Follow the instructions on pages 33 to 38 for the items you wish to set manually. During that process, a message may appear reminding you to run EzSet/EQ, which you may ignore at this time since you will return to the EzSet/EQ menu at the conclusion of your manual adjustments. After completing all manual settings, press the //¤ Navigation Buttons D© to move the cursor to the BACK TO EZSET/EQ MAIN line and then press the OK/Enter Button E on the TC 30 or the Set Button oe on the ZR 10 remote. When that menu (Figure 12) returns to the screen, press the //¤ Navigation Buttons D© again to move the cursor to the MANUAL EQ DESIGN line and then press the OK/Enter Button E on the TC 30 or the Set Button oe on the ZR 10 remote. A message will appear, reminding you to manually set the system parameters, but since you have just done that, make certain that the cursor is at the CONTINUE line and press the OK/Enter Button E on the TC 30 or the Set Button oe on the ZR 10 remote.
