Harman-Kardon AVR 745 - Manual (Page 41)

SYSTEM CONFIGURATION 41
ENGLISH
As soon as the button is pressed, the test tone
will begin to circulate, as indicated earlier. The
correct channel from which the test noise should
be heard will be shown in the lower third of the
video screen and in the Lower Display Line
˜ While the test noise is circulating, the proper
channel position will also be indicated in the
Speaker/Channel Input Indicators Ú by a
blinking letter within the correct channel.
To adjust the output level, press the ‹ / ›
Navigation Button DF until the desired
level is shown in the display or on the screen.
Once the buttons are released, the test noise will
begin to circulate again in five seconds. When all
channels have the same output level, press the
Screen Button
6 next to
TEST again to
complete the process.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The Output level adjust-
ment made will be effective for all inputs, but
only for the actual surround mode selected. To be
effective for any other mode select that mode
(with any input) and repeat the level adjustment
described above. This will also allow you to com-
pensate level differences between speakers, that
may be different with each surround mode, or to
increase or decrease the level of certain speakers
intentionally, depending on the surround mode
selected.
Note: Output level adjustment is not available
for the Surround Off mode, as no surround
speakers are used (so level differences between
the speakers in the room cannot occur). But to
compensate level differences between stereo and
other surround modes (independently from the
input selected) the outputs can be adjusted with
the Level Trim Adjustment procedure, see page
51, also for the Surround Off (Stereo) modes.
In addition to the controls for selecting channels
and the test tone operation, the settings on this
menu also allow you to reset the level settings to
either the factory default of 0dB or to re-estab-
lish the settings that were entered by running
EzSet/EQ II.
To reset all channel levels to 0dB press ⁄ / ¤
Navigation Button DF so that the cursor
is pointing to the LEVEL RESET line and
then press the ⁄ / ¤ Navigation Button
DF once so O N appears in highlighted
video.
To return to the settings established by
EzSet/EQ II, even if you have made manual
changes to the output trims using the steps
shown above, press
⁄ / ¤ Navigation Button
DF so that the cursor is pointing to the
EZSET SETTINGS line and then press the
⁄ / ¤ Navigation Button DF once so
O N appears in highlighted video. Remember that
after turning the EzSet/EQ II settings back on you
must turn return to this menu line and change
the setting to OFF if you wish to make any
manual trim adjustments.
The final setting in this menu enables you to
have the output levels remain the same for all
inputs or to be adjusted differently for each (or
any) input. While most listeners prefer to keep
the same output levels for all sources, you may
wish to raise or lower some channels, particularly
the subwoofer output for a specific source such
as a CD that is primarily used for music playback.
To enter individual settings for a specific channel,
first make sure that you have either run EzSet/EQ
and/or made any desired manual trim adjust-
ments to set a baseline for all channels. After
that is done, press the OSD Button
E to exit
the menu system and then select the input for
which you wish to enter different level settings
by using either the Input Source Selectors %
on the front panel or the buttons on the remote
that are used to select an input source
BCD
. Next, return to the CHAN-
NEL OUTPUT submenu using the steps out-
lined above.
At the CHANNEL OUTPUT menu press
⁄ / ¤ Navigation Button DF until the
cursor is pointing to the LEVEL TRIM line
and then press the ⁄ / ¤ Navigation Button
DF once so that
INDEPENDENT
appears in highlighted video. When this setting is
active you may change the channel output levels
for any input without changing the settings pre-
viously established for another.
When all changes to the Channel Output levels
and the associated level trim settings have been
made press the
⁄ / ¤ Navigation Button
DF until the cursor is on the
BACK T O
MANUAL SETUP menu and then pressing
the OK/Enter Button E on the TC 30 or the
Set Button Q so that you may make any
other adjustments to the system parameters. If
the changes just made complete the manual
adjustments needed, press the OSD Button
E
to exit the menu system and resume normal sys-
tem operation.
Additional Input Adjustments
After one input has been adjusted for Surround
mode, digital input (if any), speaker type, and
output levels, go back to the
IN/OUT
SETUP line on the MASTER MENU
(Figure 1) and enter the settings for each input
that you will use. In most cases, only the digital
input and surround mode will be different from
one input to the next, while the speaker type,
crossover frequency, Night mode and output
level settings will usually be the same and may
be quickly entered by entering the same data
used for the original input.
Once the settings outlined on the previous pages
have been made, the AVR is ready for operation.
While there are some additional settings to be
made, these are best done after you have had an
opportunity to listen to a variety of sources and
different kinds of program material. These
advanced settings are described on pages 53 to
54 of this manual. In addition, any of the settings
made in the initial configuration of the unit may
be changed at any time. As you add new or dif-
ferent sources or speakers, or if you wish to
change a setting to better reflect your listening
taste, simply follow the instructions for changing
the settings for that parameter as shown in this
section.
EzSet/EQ II Preset Selection
If you have stored more than one EQ Design
using EzSet/EQ II, you may select the Design you
wish to use from the
EZSET/EQ PRESET
SELECT line of the EZSET/EQ MAIN
menu (Figure 12). Follow the instructions on
page 32 to view the
EZSET/EQ MAIN
menu, and then press the ⁄ / ¤ Navigation
Button DF to move the cursor to the
EZSET/EQ PRESET SELECT line.
Press the OK/Enter Button E on the TC 30
or the Set Button Q on the ZR 10 remote to
bring the next menu to the screen, and then
press the
⁄ / ¤ Navigation Button DF to
move the cursor to the preset number for the
Design you wish to use. When your selection is
made, press the OK/Enter Button
E on the
TC 30 or the Set button Q on the ZR 10 to
store the selection. Then move the cursor to
BACK T O EZSET/EQ MAIN using the
⁄ / ¤ Navigation Button DF and press
the OK/Enter Button E on the TC 30 or the
Set Button Q on the ZR 10 remote to exit the
menu system.
You may also select an EQ Design directly, or turn
the EQ filters off by following the instructions on
page 51.
Note that any settings changed at any time, also
when the discrete buttons are used only, will be
stored in memory in the AVR, also if it´s turned
off completely, unless it will be reset (see page
59).
Having completed the setup and configuration
process for your AVR, you are about to experi-
ence the finest in music and home-theater
listening. Enjoy!
