To return to the Speaker Setup menu without starting the EzSet/EQ process, select Cancel. When you are ready to begin, select Continue and press the OK Button.

NOTE: The AVR 3550HD will automatically set its master volume to –25dB.

Step Four – After you select “Continue”, the screen shown in Figure 53 will appear. Select the number of speakers in your system. Select 5.1 if no surround back speakers are present, or if the surround back channels will be used for multizone operation.

Figure 54 – EzSet/EQ in Progress

As EzSet/EQ tests each speaker, its position will appear on screen. If the test tone is heard from a different speaker than the one indicated on screen, turn off the AVR and check the speaker-wire connections, then begin again.

When the test is completed, select the Continue option. The results will be displayed, along with these options:

The Retest option repeats the EzSet/EQ process. Increase the master volume manually if some speakers were not correctly detected.

Select Cancel to return to the Speaker Setup menu.

See the Advanced Functions section for instructions on how to manually configure the speakers or manually adjust the settings established by the EzSet/EQ process.

Set Up Sources

The Info Settings menu is used to assign the correct physical audio and video connections to each source.

The following settings are not optional and must be adjusted now to enable playback of each source: Video Input from source, Audio Input from Source and Resolution to Display. The other settings may be adjusted later.

To display the Source Info menu, press the Info Settings Button (front panel or remote). Or, from the Main Menu, select the Setup Source line and select a source from the slide-in menu. A screen similar to the one shown in Figure 55 will appear.

Figure 53 – EzSet/EQ: Number of Speakers

NOTE: If there are fewer than five main speakers in your system, do not use the EzSet/EQ process. Instead, proceed as described in the Advanced Functions section. If you have selected a 6.1- channel configuration with a single surround back speaker, use EzSet/EQ automatic configuration for 5.1 speakers, connect the single surround back speaker to the left Surround Back Speaker Output, then configure the surround back speaker manually, as described in the Advanced Functions section. The 6.1-channel configuration is not recommended.

Figure 55 – Setup Source Menu

Audio Effects: Displays the Audio Effects submenu, where you may

adjust: the bass and treble tone controls, the LFE trim or the Night Mode setting. Leave this submenu at its default settings, and return to it later
