System Configuration
Figure 23
Unplug the microphone and store it in a safe
place so that it is available to recalibrate your
system if needed due to a change in speakers,
preferred listening position, or a major change in
the room’s furnishings (such as the addition of
thick carpeting or plush furniture) that might
require different settings.
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 39 to learn how to operate
AVR 347. 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.
Manual Setup
Harman Kardon recommends that you use the
EzSet/EQ procedure described on pages 28-30
to configure your receiver for operation.
However, you may manually configure your AVR
if you have fewer than six speakers in your
system, if you have run EzSet/EQ but wish to
make adjustments, if your EzSet/EQ microphone
is not available, or if you simply prefer to make
your adjustments manually. In addition, the A/V
Sync Delay setting must be performed manually
(see Delay Settings section, page 34).
To begin manual setup using the full-OSD menu
system, press the OSD Button v so that the
main menu appears on screen. Press the
⁄/¤
Buttons n until the Speaker-tab is
highlighted in white, and press the Set Button
p.The
Manual Configuration
-line is now highlighted in blue. Press Set p
to access the Manual
SPEAKERSETUP
menu (see Figure 24).

There are four submenus in the Manual Speaker
Setup Menu: Speaker Size, Speaker Crossover
and Channel Adjust.As each submenu’s name is
highlighted, its settings will be displayed.To
navigate the Manual Speaker Setup menus,
press the Set Button
F
when the desired
submenu is highlighted, and the first line of the
submenu will be highlighted. Press the Set
Button
F
to change a setting by using the
‹/› Buttons o
a
to scroll through the
options, pressing the Set Button
F
again to
select an option. Use the
⁄/¤ n Buttons
to select another setting in the submenu.When
you are finished making all of your adjustments
in a particular submenu, press the ‹ Button
o to return to the list of submenus, and use
the
⁄/¤ Buttons n to select another sub-
menu.
If you have run EzSet/EQ, the values obtained
during that process will appear in these menus.
You may use them as a starting point for your
adjustments, which is recommended, or you may
reset the values in the Delay Adjust and Channel
Adjust submenus.
Adjust the submenus in the SPEAKER
SETUPsubmenu in order, as some settings
require that previous settings be established
first.
Speaker Size Setup
This menu tells the AVR which type of speakers
are in use. This is important as it adjusts the set-
tings that decide whether your system will use
the "5-channel" or "6-channel/7-channel"
modes, as well as determine which speakers
receive low-frequency (bass) information.
If you have already completed an automated
setup using EzSet/EQ the settings calculated
during that procedure will already appear. No
further adjustment is required unless you wish to
change a specific item to reflect your personal
taste or a nonstandard system configuration.
For each of these settings use the
LARGEset-
ting if the speakers for a particular position are
traditional full-range loudspeakers that are capa-
ble of reproducing sounds below 100Hz.
Use the
SMALLsetting for smaller, frequency-
limited satellite speakers that do not reproduce
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.
It is easiest to enter the proper settings for the
speaker setup through the
SPEAKER
SETUP- Size
menu (Figure 25). So press
the OSD Button
L
to bring up the main
menu (Figure 1), and then press the
¤
Button
D
twice so that Speaker-tab is highlight-
ed in white. Press the Set Button
F
twice to
access the
SPEAKER SETUPmenu.

At this point, with the cursor highlighting the
Size-line in blue press the Set Button
F

(Figure 26).

1. Begin the speaker size setup process by making
certain that the
Left/Rightline, which
sets the configuration for the front left and right
speakers in highlighted in blue. If you wish to
make a change to the front speakers’ configura-
tion, press the Set Button
F
so that the line
changes to show blue text, followed by the
‹
/
›
Buttons
Ea
so that either LARGEor
SMALLappears, matching the appropriate
description from the definitions shown above.
When
SMALLis selected, low-frequency front
channel sounds will be sent only to the sub-
woofer output. If you choose this option and
there is no subwoofer connected, you will not
hear any low-frequency sounds with front channel
signals.
When
LARGEis selected, a full-range output
will be sent to the front left and front right
outputs. Depending on the choice made in
the
SUBWOOFERline in this menu (see
below), the front left and right bass information
may also be directed to the subwoofer.
