[. . . ] Whether the text appears in all uppercase or upper- and lowercase characters, performance and operation remain the same. The instructions shown for using the TC 30 remote are correct as of the date this manual was printed. They may change slightly from time to time when the TC 30's internal software is upgraded to add new features. 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS 29510_AVR745_Engelsk 30/10/06 9:31 Side 3 Introduction Thank you for choosing Harman Kardon!With the purchase of a Harman Kardon PM640 you are about to begin many years of listening enjoyment. [. . . ] EQ Design is done in a series of steps, with the Far Field measurements first, followed by the Near Field measurements and, finally, the Subwoofer measurements. In each case, the process is the same: the on-screen menus will direct you to place the microphone in a specific location, and when that portion of the process is started, test tones will be sent to the speaker or speakers being measured. The system will then pause slightly as the results of the measurement are calculated and stored in system memory. If the step was successful, an on-screen message will report the test results and direct you to the next step. If the step did not produce acceptable results, an error message will appear, suggesting the adjustments needed to correct the problem and start a re-test. 32 SYSTEM CONFIGURATION 29510_AVR745_Engelsk 30/10/06 9:32 Side 33 System Configuration During each EQ Design step, you have the option to perform the tests for that specific portion of the process, or you may skip the settings and move to another step or return to the EZSET/EQ MAIN menu (Figure 12). When the complete EQ Design process is complete, you will be given an opportunity to "test drive" the settings by listening to a source with the room equalization filters applied. In order to take advantage of this feature, before beginning the EQ Design, make certain that a source is playing with program material you are familiar with. If necessary, exit the menu system at this time to select and start the playback, and then return to EzSet/EQ II. The source will mute during the EQ Design, but will return when it is time for the "test drive. " Step 1. The EZSET DESIGN STEP 1 menuscreen (Figure 13) will appear with instructions to place the microphone, if you have not already done so. This screen is also the place to set the master volume level. Set volume to -25dB CONTINUE TO FAR FIELD SKIP FAR FIELD DESIGN BACK TO EZSET/EQ MAIN least Figure 13 The final menu screen before the EzSet/EQ process starts is a warning screen (Figure 14) that serves as a reminder to keep the room as quiet as possible while the system is in use. Extraneous noise of any kind may adversely affect the accuracy of the system's results. Do not talk while the test tones are circulating, and if possible, turn off any ventilation systems if the noise form the air flow is loud enough for you to hear. Should an outside noise such as a phone ringing occur during the test process, we recommend that you rerun EzSet/EQ II. If you do not wish to start the test process at this time, press the //¤ Navigation Button DF to return to either the EzSet/EQ II menu or the Master Menu, and press the OK/Enter Button E on the TC 30 or the Set Button Q. To begin the EzSet/EQ II Near Field measurements, press the < / > Navigation Button DF so that O N is highlighted in reverse video, and press the OK/Enter Button E on the TC 30 or the Set Button Q.

When the Far Field measurements are completed, the system will ask you to take three Near Field measurements, one at each front speaker position. These measurements enable EzSet/EQ to produce the most accurate settings for both high and low frequency equalization. The Near Field measurements are similar to the Far Field tests, except that the system will "listen" to only one speaker at a time, rather than sending the test signals to all speakers in rotation. [. . . ] These tables give you the complete picture on the PM640's initial settings. You may then decide whether any item needs to be changed so that it is more appropriate for your specific installation. Any of the settings shown may be changed as shown in the pages of the System Configuration section of this manual (pages 20 to 32).
