System Configuration

Step 10: If the measurements are not successful due to a missing or malfunctioning speaker, an ERROR message and menu will appear, as shown in Figure 5g. The EzSet/EQ system is pro- grammed to look for speaker pairs at the front left/front right, surround left/surround right and surround back left/surround back right positions. If the tests to any of those three channel pairs indicates that one, but not both of the speakers in the pair is present, the menu will show NONE next to the speaker position where the tests did not report back that a speaker is present. Should this message appear, make note of the suspect speaker location, exit all menus and turn the receiver off. Check all speaker wire connections and then rerun EzSet/EQ.

Manual Setup

Harman Kardon recommends that you use the EzSet/EQ procedure described on pages 21 to configure your receiver for operation. However, you may manually configure your AVR if you simply prefer to make your adjustments manually.

To begin manual setup using the full-OSD menu system, press the OSD Button v so that the MASTER MENU appears on screen. Press the ⁄/¤ Buttons n until the › cursor points to the MANUAL SETUP line, and press the OK Button p. The MANUAL SETUP menu (Figure 6) will appear.

With the MASTER MENU on screen, press the

¤Button n until the › cursor is pointing to the MANUAL SETUP line, and press the OK Button p. The MANUAL SETUP submenu will appear (see Figure 6).

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.

At last, this menu also makes you choose if the speaker setting will be the same for each input source (GLOBAL), or will be set differently for each input (INDEPENDENT).

Notes:

• When "Independent" is selected for the speak-

er settings (see below), they need to be made

for each input individually and you can deter-

mine which speaker should be used depending

on the input source selected. So it´s possible

e.g. to turn off the Center and/or the Sub with

any music source selected and to use them

with any movie input source.

• With the currently selected input all speaker

settings will be copied to all other surround

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 32 to learn how to operate AVR 155. 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.

Figure 6

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

EzSet ACTIVATE: The first line in the Manual Setup menu indicates whether you have run EzSet/EQ and whether the settings obtained by EzSet/EQ have been activated as the starting point for manual setup. If you have run EzSet/EQ but you wish to start the setup process from scratch, use the ⁄/¤ Navigation Buttons

Dto move the cursor to this line, and then use

the ‹/› Navigation Buttons E to

change the setting to NO. If you have not run EzSet, the setting is NO and cannot be changed.

The next four lines of the Manual Setup menu are used to access the four submenus used during the setup process. Each submenu’s settings are dependent upon the previous submenu, and therefore we recommend you visit the menus in the order shown.

Speaker Setup

This menu tells the AVR which type of speakers are in use. This is important as it determines which speakers receive low-frequency (bass) information.

For each of these settings use the LARGE setting if the speakers for a particular position are traditional full-range loudspeakers that are capable of reproducing sounds below 100Hz. Use the SMALL setting for smaller, frequency- limited satellite speakers that do not reproduce

modes (as far as speakers are used with them)

and need not be repeated when another sur-

round mode is selected with that input.

It is easiest to enter the proper settings for the speaker setup through the SPEAKER SIZE menu (Figure 7). So press the OSD Button L to bring up the MASTER MENU (Figure 1), and then press the ¤ Button D three times so that the cursor is on the MANUAL SETUP line.

At this point, press the OK Button F and select the SPEAKER SIZE menu (Figure 7).

Figure 7

1.Before you start the speaker setting, you should determine if you want all inputs being configured with the same speaker size setting (GLOBAL) or if all inputs should be configured individually (INDEPENDENT).

To configure all inputs for "Global" or "Inde- pendent" press the ⁄ Button D twice so that the cursor is next to the BASS MGR line.

This setting allows you to use the same speaker configuration for all inputs, or to have different settings for each input. In most cases the factory
