SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
Step 6. When the Far Field tests are complete, a
message screen will appear to indicate whether the
procedure was successful or not. In most cases, there
will not be any problems and you will see the mes-
sage shown in Figure 12 on your screen.
Figure 12
If the speaker positions shown match the actual
speaker layout in your system, confirm that the cursor
is pointing to
DO NEAR FIELD and press the
Set Button p
œ
to take the Near Field measure-
ments from the front left, center and right speakers.
Continue these instructions with Step 8.
Step 7a. If the measurements are not successful due
to a missing or malfunctioning speaker, the
FAR
FIELD EQ ERROR
message will appear as
shown in Figure 13. EzSet/EQ is programmed 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 test results indicate that one,
but not both of the speakers in any of these pairs is
present, the menu will show
NO 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 the menus
and turn the receiver off. Check all speaker wire con-
nections and then rerun EzSet/EQ.
Figure 13
Step 7b. In some cases, the system may not function
properly, due to overly high output levels. When this
occurs, you will see the message shown in Figure 14.
If you see this message, verify that the microphone is
in the correct position, and is not too close to any one
speaker. Then press the
Set Button p
œ
to go
back to the
MASTER MENU. From there, return
to the EzSet/EQ system and when you are once again
at the
FAR FIELD MEASURE screen,
reduce the system volume level by 3dB before trying
EzSet/EQ again.
Figure 14
Step 8. When the Far Field measurements are com-
pleted, the next step is to take three Near Field meas-
urements, one at each front speaker position. These
measurements enable EzSet/EQ to produce the most
accurate settings for high-frequency equalization. The
Near Field measurements are similar to the Far Field
tests, except that the system will “listen” to only one
speaker at a time, rather than sending the test signals
to all speakers in rotation.
At the
NEAR FIELD EQ SELECT menu
(Figure 15) that should be on your screen after com-
pleting the instructions in Step 6, press the
Set
Button
p
œ
to start the near field measurements
with the front left speaker. If you are repeating the
setup process, you may also use the
⁄/¤
Navigation Buttons n
©
to select any of the
three speaker positions shown.
Figure 15
At the NEAR FIELD MESSAGE menu,
you will see an instruction to place the microphone
in a different position than the one used for the initial
Far Field measurements. This time, place the micro-
phone close to the speaker to be measured, at a
distance of about 2 feet. The top of the microphone
should be pointed toward the speaker, rather than
pointing up as was done for the Far Field tests.
Press the
Set Button p
œ
to continue.
Step 9. You will now see a WARNING message
similar to the one shown in Figure 11 except that it will
contain an option to return to the
NEAR FIELD
EQ SELECT
menu (Figure 15) 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 calibration, at a distance of about
2 feet. Press the
› Navigation Button n
©
so that ON is highlighted and THENpress the
Set Button p
œ
.
Step 10. One short test signal will be sent to
the speaker position being calibrated and after a
slight pause from the system to calculate the test
results, you will see either a
NEAR FIELD
COMPLETE
message (Figure 16) or a NEAR
FIELD ERROR
message (Figure 17). 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 16 will appear. 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
toward
BACK TO NEAR FIELD and press
the
Set Button p
œ
. You will return to the
NEAR FIELD EQ SELECT menu (Figure
15), 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.
Press the
¤ Navigation Button n
©
to return
to the
MASTER MENU.
Figure 16
Step 12. If a NEAR FIELD ERROR mes-
sage appears, as shown in Figure 17, make certain
that the microphone is about 2 feet from the speaker
being tested and that the top of the microphone unit
is pointing toward 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 p
œ
. This will return you to
the
NEAR FIELD EQ SELECT menu
(Figure 15) where you should repeat Steps 8 through
11, adjusting the mike placement and volume level
as needed until the
NEAR FIELD COMPLETE
menu (Figure 16) appears after the test tone stops.
