INITIAL SETUP
Before beginning, eliminate extraneous background noise that might affect the results, such as noisy air conditioning. Try to avoid making any loud noises while running EzSet/EQ.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE: During the EzSet/EQ procedure, a series of very loud test tones will be played through all of the speakers. Avoid sitting or standing close to any one speaker during the procedure. If you are particularly sensitive to loud noises, you may wish to leave the room and have someone else run EzSet/EQ.
Step One – Place the included EzSet/EQ microphone in the listening position, or in the center of the room, at about the same height as the listeners’ ears. The microphone features a threaded insert on the bottom so that it can be mounted on a camera tripod for stability. An extender rod is also included.
Step Two – Plug the EzSet/EQ microphone into the Headphone Jack/EzSet Microphone Input Jack on the front of the receiver. See Figure 40.

Step Three – Make sure that the AVR 147 and the video display are turned on. Press the OSD Button to display the Master Menu. See Figures 38 and 39. Use the ⁄/¤ Buttons to move the cursor to the EzSet/EQ line, and then press the Set Button to select the EzSet/EQ menu. See Figure 41.

The cursor will be next to the word YES. Press the Set Button to begin EzSet/EQ.
Step Four – If you forgot to plug in the microphone, a message will flash at the bottom of the screen. If the microphone has been plugged in, a warning message will appear and remain on screen for several seconds (see Figure 42).

Please be patient until the warning screen is replaced by the main EzSet/EQ screen. See Figure 43.
