System Configuration

Step 2. When the Far Field measurements are completed, the system will ask you to take three Near Field measurements, one at each front speaker position. These measurements enable EzSet/EQ to produce the most accurate settings for both high and low frequency equalization. The Near Field measurements are similar to the Far Field tests, except that the system will “lis- ten” to only one speaker at a time, rather than sending the test signals to all speakers in rota- tion.

If the EQ DESIGN OVERLOAD message appears, first press the OK/Enter Button E on the TC 30 or the Set Button Q on the ZR 10 remote. This will take you back to the EQ DESIGN SETP 1 ERROR menu. Make certain that the cursor is pointing to REPEAT TEST and press the OK/Enter Button E on the TC 30 or the Set Button Q on the ZR 10 remote again. At the EZSET DESIGN STEP 1 menu, lower the volume by at least 6dB and follow the steps described above to run the EzSet/EQ II system again. Depending on the amount of the overload, you may need to repeat the process more than once to achieve satisfactory results.

When it first appears, the NEAR FIELD MENU (Figure 18) will show a list of all the pos- sible speakers and NO next to each speaker position where the Far Field measurements detected a speaker. The Near Field measurements should be made for each of those speakers to create a successful EQ Design. To select a speak- er position for measurement, press the ⁄/¤ Navigation Button DF to move the cur- sor next to the desired speaker position and then press the OK/Enter Button E on the TC 30 or the Set Button Q on the ZR 10 remote. Before the test begins, an informational message will appear (Figure 19).

Follow the instructions and place the microphone about halfway between the speaker and the lis- tening position where the microphone was placed during the Far Field measurements. With the cursor pointing to CONTINUE, press the OK/Enter Button E on the TC 30 or the Set Button Q on the ZR 10 remote control.

When the WARNING message appears, press the › Navigation Button DF to start the test. A short tone will be heard from the speaker being tested, and after a short pause the on- screen menu will show a message to inform you of whether the test was successful or not.

•If the test was successful and there are more speaker positions for which a Near Field meas- urement is required, press the OK/Enter Button E on the TC 30 or the Set Button Q on the ZR 10 remote to return to the NEAR FIELD MENU. Speaker positions where the Near Field measurement has been completed will show DONE to the right of the position name. Press the ⁄/¤ Navigation Button DF to select a position where NO still appears and repeat the steps shown above until a Near Field measurement has been taken at all speaker positions.

•If the test was successful and all Near Field measurements have been completed, the on- screen message will direct you to the Sub- woofer measurements. Make certain that the cursor is pointing to CONTINUE TO SUB DESIGN and press the OK/Enter Button E on the TC 30 or the Set Button Q on the ZR 10 remote (unless you wish to choose another option to skip the subwoofer measure- ments and either complete the EQ Design or return to the EZSET/EQ MAIN menu.

•If there was an error during the test, the Design Step 2 Error message will appear. Follow the on-screen instructions to check speaker connections (if no sound was heard from the speaker during the test), check the microphone placement to make certain it is no further than half the distance from the speaker to the listening position and pointing directly at the speaker, or increase the volume by 5dB. After taking the corrective steps, make sure the cursor is pointing to REPEAT TEST and press the OK/Enter Button E on the TC 30 or the Set Button Q on the ZR 10 remote. Select the speaker again and repeat the steps as needed until a successful measurement is made.

Steps 3 and 4: The third and fourth steps in the EzSet/EQ II Design process are the measurement for the subwoofers, if present. Although the sub- woofers are generally considered one speaker position, since the AVR 745 may be used with two subwoofers, two separate measurement steps must be combined for a complete EQ Design.

When the SUBWOOFER DESIGN message appears, make certain that the cursor is pointing to CONTINUE TO SUB DESIGN and press the OK/Enter Button E on the TC 30 or the Set Button Q on the ZR 10 remote control. The EZSET DESIGN STEP 3 (Figure 20) message will appear.

Follow the instructions (using the extender rod if necessary), to make sure that the microphone is at ear level and to the left of where the micro- phone was placed during the Far Field measure- ments. Press the OK/Enter Button E on the TC 30 or the Set Button Q on the ZR 10 remote to continue.

When the WARNING message appears on screen, press the ‹/› Navigation Button D

Fto start the test. The test tone will be sent to the subwoofer(s) and the system will then pause slightly to perform the needed calculations. When the calculations are complete, the EZSET DESIGN STEP 4 message will appear.

The instructions here are identical to those in Step 3 except that the microphone should be placed to the right of where it was during Far Field measurements. Press the OK/Enter Button E on the TC 30 or the Set Button

Qon the ZR 10 remote to continue.

When the subwoofer tests in Steps 3 and 4 are complete, a message (Figure 21) will appear after a brief pause to display the results.
