Step 9. You will now see a Warning message similar to the one shown in Figure 7 except that it will contain an option to return to the NEAR FIELD EQ SELECT menu (Figure 7f) as well as the ability to return to the MASTER MENU. If you are ready to proceed with the test, make certain that the microphone is properly pointed toward the speaker selected for calibra- tion, press the › Navigation Button Eso that ON is highlighted and press the Set Button F.
Step 10. One short test signal will be sent to the speaker position being calibrated and after a slight pause fro the system to calculate the test results, you will see either a “Near Field Complete” message or a “Near Field Error” mes- sage. In most cases, the “Complete” message will appear, in which case you should proceed to Step 11, if an “Error” message appears, go to Step 12.
Step 11. If the test results were successful, the message shown in Figure 7g will appear. In order to properly calibrate the system, you will need to run the Near Field tests for all three front channel speakers (left, center and right). After running the test for the front left speaker, make certain that the cursor is pointing towards BACK TO NEAR FIELD and press the Set Button F. When you are taken back to the Near Field Select menu (Figure 7f) where you should repeat Steps 8 through 11 until all three front speakers have been calibrated. When that is done the EzSet/EQ process is complete and you should press the ¤ Navigation Button Eto return to the Master Menu.

Step 12. If a “Near Field Error” message appears, as shown in Figure 7h, you should check to make certain that the microphone is about one meter from the speaker being tested and that the top of the microphone unit is pointing towards the speaker. You may also have to raise or lower the master volume to achieve accurate readings.
After checking these two items, as needed, make certain that the cursor is pointing to the BACK TO NEAR FIELD line and press the Set Button F. This will return you to the NEAR FIELD EQ SELECT menu (Figure 7f) where you should repeat Steps 8 through 11, adjusting the mike placement and volume level as needed until the NEAR FIELD COMPLETE menu (Figure 7g) appears after the test tone stops.

When both the Far Field and Near Field measure- ments have been successfully completed your sys- tem is ready for use. Thanks to EzSet/EQ, the set- tings for speaker “size”, speaker crossover, chan- nel output and individual channel delay time have been automatically set and require no further adjustment. In addition, EzSet/EQ also performs a complete room equalization that tailors the sys- tem’s performance for the best possible sound with your combination of speakers, speaker place- ment and room acoustics. The next few pages in this manual detail the procedure for manually entering system data, but unless you want to view the setting information and make an adjust- ment, you are now ready to enjoy the finest in home theater and music reproduction. Go to page 35 for complete information on operating your AVR 635.
Manual Setup
In most cases it is simpler, easier and more accu- rate to let EzSet/EQ take care of entering the sys- tem parameters for speaker “size”, speaker crossover, channel output and individual channel delay time. However, if you feel that your listening room or system components are best suited to manual entry of these settings, the AVR 635 also allows you to enter or trim any of these tradition- al system parameters. Even if you do make the settings manually, we recommend that you run the EzSet/EQ tests first so that a baseline setting is established, and then make your adjustments from there. Note that once EzSet/EQ has been run you do not need to adjust all system settings, only those that you want to adjust.
To view or change the current settings, press the OSD Button Lon the remote to bring up the MASTER MENU (Figure 1). Next, press the ¤ Navigation Button Eas needed until the cursor is on the MANUAL SETUP line. Press the Set Button Fto view the MANUAL SETUP menu (Figure 8).

If you have already run the EzSet/EQ calibration system, the first line of the menu enables you to hear the difference between the settings estab- lished by EzSet/EQ. The default setting is ON, which plays the incoming source with the EzSet/EQ settings. To hear the system in a Bypass mode, with none of the equalization filters in the circuit path, press the ‹/ › Navigation Button
Eso that OFF is highlighted. Note that once changed, this setting will remain until you change it again in this menu. While you may want to use this menu option to hear the difference that EzSet/EQ makes, we recommend that you leave the setting on to take advantage of the benefits of EzSet/EQ’s advanced room correction technolo- gy.
The EZSET ADJUST line on the menu enables you to set the system’s Tilt, or high-fre- quency boost. To make this adjustment, first make sure that EZSET EQ line is set to ON, as this item is not available when EzSet EQ is not in the signal path. When the cursor is on the EZSET ADJUST line, press the Set Button F, and then press the ‹/ › Navigation Button Eto enter the desired setting. When you have com- pleted your adjustment, press the › Navigation Button Eto move the cursor down to the BACK TO MANUAL SETUP line and press
the Set Button F.
Note on Manual Setup Menus: Each of the four major manual setup menus (Speaker Size, Speaker Crossover, Delay Adjust and Channel Adjust) includes a line that reads EZSET SETTINGS. When the default setting of OFF is shown you are able to make any required adjustments that are available on that menu. However, you may change the setting to ON at any time to recall the settings established when EzSet/EQ was last run. It is also important to note that when the EzSet/EQ settings are in use, the AVR will not allow any changes to be made. To trim the settings press the ‹/ › Navigation Button Euntil the cursor is on the EZSET SETTINGS line on the menu in use and press the ‹/ › Navigation Button Eto change the setting to OFF. This will allow you to make changes to the settings on that menu.
