INITIAL SETUP Figure 45 - EzSet/EQ - Specifying a 7.1 System Press the Set Button when the correct system configuration appears, and EzSet/EQ will do the rest automatically! NOTE: You may interrupt the EzSet/EQ process at any time after the initial warning screen shown in Figure 42 disappears. Press the ¤ Button on the remote, and the cursor will move to the BACK TO MASTER MENU line, giving you an opportunity to exit the on-screen menu system What EzSet/EQ Does EzSet/EQ will send test signals to the various speakers and perform the measurements described in this section, adjusting the AVR 147's settings to match EzSet/EQ's internal references. Set Master Volume Level: EzSet/EQ sends test tones to the front speakers and adjusts the system's volume level to enable it to take the remaining measurements correctly. Your screen may look something like the one shown in Figure 46. Figure 47 - EzSet/EQ - Speaker Check NOTE: EzSet/EQ can only detect the presence of a speaker, not its location within the room. If your speakers are not placed reasonably close to the positions shown in Figure 15 in the Speaker Placement Section on page 19, then EzSet/EQ may not be able to perform this test correctly. If EzSet/EQ detects only one speaker in a pair (e.g., surround back left but no surround back right or no main speakers), it will generate an error and stop, displaying a screen similar to Figure 48. If that happens, check that you have placed your speakers in their correct locations, and that you have wired each speaker to its correct set of speaker terminals. Figure 46 - EzSet/EQ - Setting Master Volume Level Speaker Check: EzSet/EQ sends test tones to each speaker channel, based on whether you specified a 5.1- or 7.1-channel system in Step Four. Your screen may look something like the one shown in Figure 47 during the speaker check, with the channel being checked at that moment displayed on the second line. You should hear the test tone from the same speaker displayed on screen. If the tone is not coming from the correct speaker, press the ¤ Button on the remote to stop EzSet/EQ. The cursor will move to the BACK TO MASTER MENU line, giving you an opportunity to exit the on-screen menu system and turn off the AVR so that you can check your speaker connections. Figure 48 - EzSet/EQ - Error in Speaker Check Speaker Delay: During this test, EzSet/EQ measures the distance from each speaker to the listening position. If the speakers are placed at different distances from the listener, the sound from speakers placed closer needs to be delayed so that it reaches the listener at the same time as the sounds from the other speakers. This preserves the clarity and directionality of surround sound presentations. The result of the Speaker Delay test will appear on screen as a distance, similar to what is shown in Figure 49. 29

INITIAL SETUP
Figure 45 – EzSet/EQ – Specifying a 7.1 System
Press the Set Button when the correct system configuration appears,
and EzSet/EQ will do the rest automatically!
NOTE:
You may interrupt the EzSet/EQ process at any time
after the initial warning screen shown in Figure 42 disappears.
Press the
¤
Button on the remote, and the cursor will move to
the BACK TO MASTER MENU line, giving you an opportunity to
exit the on-screen menu system
What EzSet/EQ Does
EzSet/EQ will send test signals to the various speakers and perform the
measurements described in this section, adjusting the AVR 147’s set-
tings to match EzSet/EQ’s internal references.
Set Master Volume Level:
EzSet/EQ sends test tones to the front
speakers and adjusts the system’s volume level to enable it to take the
remaining measurements correctly. Your screen may look something like
the one shown in Figure 46.
Figure 46 – EzSet/EQ – Setting Master Volume Level
Speaker Check:
EzSet/EQ sends test tones to each speaker channel,
based on whether you specified a 5.1- or 7.1-channel system in Step
Four.Your screen may look something like the one shown in Figure 47
during the speaker check, with the channel being checked at that
moment displayed on the second line. You should hear the test tone
from the same speaker displayed on screen. If the tone is not coming
from the correct speaker, press the
¤
Button on the remote to stop
EzSet/EQ. The cursor will move to the BACK TO MASTER MENU line,
giving you an opportunity to exit the on-screen menu system and turn
off the AVR so that you can check your speaker connections.
Figure 47 – EzSet/EQ – Speaker Check
NOTE:
EzSet/EQ can only detect the presence of a speaker,
not its location within the room. If your speakers are not placed
reasonably close to the positions shown in Figure 15 in the
Speaker Placement Section on page 19, then EzSet/EQ may
not be able to perform this test correctly.
If EzSet/EQ detects only one speaker in a pair (e.g., surround back left
but no surround back right or no main speakers), it will generate an
error and stop, displaying a screen similar to Figure 48. If that happens,
check that you have placed your speakers in their correct locations, and
that you have wired each speaker to its correct set of speaker terminals.

Speaker Delay:
During this test, EzSet/EQ measures the distance from
each speaker to the listening position. If the speakers are placed at
different distances from the listener, the sound from speakers placed
closer needs to be delayed so that it reaches the listener at the same
time as the sounds from the other speakers. This preserves the clarity
and directionality of surround sound presentations. The result of the
Speaker Delay test will appear on screen as a distance, similar to what
is shown in Figure 49.
