SYSTEM CONFIGURATION 23

System Configuration
Step 10: If the measurements are not successful
due to a missing or malfunctioning speaker, an
ERROR message and menu will appear, as
shown in Figure 5g. The EzSet/EQ system is pro-
grammed 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 tests to any of those three channel pairs
indicates that one, but not both of the speakers
in the pair is present, the menu will show
NONE
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 all menus and turn the
receiver off. Check all speaker wire connections
and then rerun EzSet/EQ.

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 32 to learn how to operate
AVR 155. 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 21 to
con figure your receiver for operation. However,
you may manually configure your AVR if you
simp ly prefer to make your adjustments manually.
To begin manual setup using the full-OSD menu
system, press the OSD Button v so that the
MASTER MENU appears on screen. Press the
⁄/¤ Buttons n until the › cursor points
to the
MANUAL SETUP line, and press the
OK Button p. The
MANUAL SETUP menu
(Figure 6) will appear.
With the MASTER MENU on screen, press the
¤ Button n until the › cursor is pointing to
the
MANUAL SETUP line, and press the OK
Button p. The
MANUAL SETUP submenu
will appear (see Figure 6).
Figure 6
Adjust the submenus in the MANUAL SETUP
submenu in order, as some settings require that
previous settings be established first.
EzSet ACTIVATE: The first line in the Manual
Setup menu indicates whether you have run
EzSet/EQ and whether the settings obtained by
EzSet/EQ have been activated as the starting
point for manual setup. If you have run EzSet/EQ
but you wish to start the setup process from
scratch, use the
⁄
/
¤
Navigation Buttons
D
to move the cursor to this line, and then use
the
‹
/
›
Navigation Buttons
Ea
to
change the setting to
NO. If you have not run
EzSet, the setting is NO and cannot be changed.
The next four lines of the Manual Setup menu
are used to access the four submenus used
during the setup process. Each submenu’s
settings are dependent upon the previous
submenu, and therefore we recommend you visit
the menus in the order shown.
Speaker Setup
This menu tells the AVR which type of speakers
are in use. This is important as it determines
which speakers receive low- frequency (bass)
information.
For each of these settings use the
LARGE
setting if the speakers for a particular position
are traditional full-range loudspeakers that are
capable of reproducing sounds below 100Hz.
Use the
SMALL setting 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.
At last, this menu also makes you choose if the
speaker setting will be the same for each input
source (
GLOBAL), or will be set differently for
each input (
INDEPENDENT).
Notes:
• When "Independent" is selected for the speak-
er settings (see below), they need to be made
for each input individually and you can deter-
mine which speaker should be used depending
on the input source selected. So it´s possible
e.g. to turn off the Center and/or the Sub with
any music source selected and to use them
with any movie input source.
• With the currently selected input all speaker
settings will be copied to all other surround
modes (as far as speakers are used with them)
and need not be repeated when another sur-
round mode is selected with that input.
It is easiest to enter the proper settings for the
speaker setup through the
SPEAKER SIZE
menu (Figure 7). So press the OSD Button
L
to bring up the MASTER MENU (Figure 1), and
then press the
¤
Button
D
three times so
that the cursor is on the
MANUAL SETUP
line.
At this point, press the OK Button
F
and
select the
SPEAKER SIZE
menu (
Figure 7
).
Figure 7
1. Before you start the speaker setting, you
should determine if you want all inputs being
configured with the same speaker size setting
(
GLOBAL) or if all inputs should be configured
individually (
INDEPENDENT).
To configure all inputs for "Global" or "Inde -
pendent" press the
⁄
Button
D
twice so that
the cursor is next to the
BASS MGR line.
This setting allows you to use the same speaker
configuration for all inputs, or to have different
settings for each input. In most cases the factory
