EzSet Configuration
Harman Kardon’s patented EzSet feature makes it easier than ever to calibrate the output levels on your new AVR for maximum playback accura- cy. In addition to automatically setting the levels, the AVR remote’s LCD display allows the unit to be used as a direct read-out SPL meter. Complete instructions for using the EzSet features of the AVR remote are found on page 26 of this owner’s manual.
In most cases you will find it easier to access the EzSet capabilities directly by pressing the SPL
Select Button and following the menu prompts as detailed in page 26. However, there is one function of the remote that is only avail- able through the remote’s menu system being described in this section.
To avoid having the calibration settings created with EzSet changed accidentally, the remote allows you to disable the SPL Select Button
on the remote. To de-activate the button, follow these steps:
1. Press and hold the Program Button for about three seconds while the message shown in Figure 15 appears in the remote’s LCD Information Display 2. Release the but- ton when the red light under the Set Button
Fappears.
2.The remote’s MAIN MENU message (Figure 16), will appear in the LCD display and the Set Button Fwill remain illuminated in red. Press the ⁄¤ Navigation Buttons Euntil SET SPKR LEVELS appears on the bottom line of the LCD screen, as shown in Figure 64. Press the Set Button Fto enter the main EzSet menu branch.

Fto disable the SPL Select Button . Once the Set Button Fis pressed the word EXITING will flash four times in the lower line of the LCD display and then it will return to normal operation.
Once these steps are completed, when the SPL
Select Button is pressed the remote will show EZSET DISABLE and it will not be acti- vated.
To restore the EzSet feature to normal operation, repeat the procedure outlined above, except that in step #3 you should press the ⁄¤ Navigation Buttons Eso that EZSET ENABLE appears in the lower line of the LCD display. When that display appears, press the Set Button Fand the EzSet feature will be reacti- vated. You may then press the Clear Button
to exit the remote’s menu system and return to normal operation or press the Set Button
Fagain to immediately use the EzSet feature to calibrate the system as shown on page 26.
