Unplug the microphone and store it in a safe place so that it is available to recalibrate your system if needed due to a change in speakers, preferred listening position, or a major change in the room’s furnishings (such as the addition of thick carpeting or plush furniture) that might require different settings.

When you have successfully completed the EzSet/EQ process and made any needed adjust- ments to the input and surround mode configu- rations, your receiver is ready for use. If you do not wish to make any manual adjustments to the settings, you may skip the rest of this section and proceed to the Basic Operation section of this manual on page 39 to learn how to operate AVR 347. For those situations where you may wish to make a change to the settings entered by EzSet/EQ, follow the instructions on the following pages.

Manual Setup

Harman Kardon recommends that you use the EzSet/EQ procedure described on pages 28-30 to configure your receiver for operation.

However, you may manually configure your AVR if you have fewer than six speakers in your system, if you have run EzSet/EQ but wish to make adjustments, if your EzSet/EQ microphone is not available, or if you simply prefer to make your adjustments manually. In addition, the A/V Sync Delay setting must be performed manually (see Delay Settings section, page 34).

To begin manual setup using the full-OSD menu system, press the OSD Button v so that the main menu appears on screen. Press the ⁄/¤ Buttons n until the Speaker -tab is highlighted in white, and press the Set Button p. The Manual Configuration -line is now highlighted in blue. Press Set p to access the Manual SPEAKER SETUP menu (see Figure 24).

There are four submenus in the Manual Speaker Setup Menu: Speaker Size, Speaker Crossover and Channel Adjust. As each submenu’s name is highlighted, its settings will be displayed. To navigate the Manual Speaker Setup menus, press the Set Button F when the desired submenu is highlighted, and the first line of the submenu will be highlighted. Press the Set Button F to change a setting by using the

‹/› Buttons o to scroll through the options, pressing the Set Button F again to select an option. Use the ⁄/¤ n Buttons to select another setting in the submenu. When you are finished making all of your adjustments in a particular submenu, press the ‹ Button

oto return to the list of submenus, and use the ⁄/¤ Buttons n to select another sub- menu.

If you have run EzSet/EQ, the values obtained during that process will appear in these menus. You may use them as a starting point for your adjustments, which is recommended, or you may reset the values in the Delay Adjust and Channel Adjust submenus.

Adjust the submenus in the SPEAKER SETUP submenu in order, as some settings require that previous settings be established first.

Speaker Size Setup

This menu tells the AVR which type of speakers are in use. This is important as it adjusts the set- tings that decide whether your system will use the "5-channel" or "6-channel/7-channel" modes, as well as determine which speakers receive low-frequency (bass) information.

If you have already completed an automated setup using EzSet/EQ the settings calculated during that procedure will already appear. No further adjustment is required unless you wish to change a specific item to reflect your personal taste or a nonstandard system configuration.

For each of these settings use the LARGE set- ting if the speakers for a particular position are traditional full-range loudspeakers that are capa- ble of reproducing sounds below 100Hz.

Use the SMALL setting for smaller, frequency- limited satellite speakers that do not reproduce sounds below 100Hz. Note that when “small” speakers are used, a subwoofer is required to reproduce low-frequency sounds. Remember that the “large” and “small” descriptions do not refer to the actual physical size of the speakers, but to their ability to reproduce low-frequency sounds. If you are in doubt as to which category describes your speakers, consult the specifica- tions in the speakers’ owner’s manual, or ask your dealer.

It is easiest to enter the proper settings for the speaker setup through the SPEAKER SETUP - Size menu (Figure 25). So press the OSD Button L to bring up the main menu (Figure 1), and then press the ¤ Button

Dtwice so that Speaker -tab is highlight- ed in white. Press the Set Button F twice to access the SPEAKER SETUP menu.

At this point, with the cursor highlighting the Size -line in blue press the Set Button F call up the menu shown below (Figure 26).

Figure 26

1.Begin the speaker size setup process by making certain that the Left/Right line, which sets the configuration for the front left and right speakers in highlighted in blue. If you wish to make a change to the front speakers’ configura- tion, press the Set Button F so that the line changes to show blue text, followed by the ‹ / › Buttons E so that either LARGE or SMALL appears, matching the appropriate description from the definitions shown above.

When SMALL is selected, low-frequency front channel sounds will be sent only to the sub- woofer output. If you choose this option and there is no subwoofer connected, you will not hear any low-frequency sounds with front channel signals.

When LARGE is selected, a full-range output will be sent to the front left and front right outputs. Depending on the choice made in the SUBWOOFER line in this menu (see below), the front left and right bass information may also be directed to the subwoofer.
