INITIAL SETUP
Figure 45 – Plug EzSet/EQ microphone into receiver.
Step Three – Make sure that the AVR 254 and the video display are
turned on. Press the AVR Settings Button to display the Main Menu. See
Figure 43. Use the
¤
Button to highlight the Speaker Setup line, and
then press the OK Button. See Figure 46.
Figure 46 – Speaker Setup Menu Screen
Select “Automatic Setup-EzSet/EQ” and the screen shown in Figure 47
will appear to direct you to plug the EzSet/EQ microphone into the
Headphone Jack, and to set the level control on the subwoofer to the
halfway point.
Figure 47 – EzSet/EQ Screen
At any time, you may select Cancel to return to the Speaker Setup
menu without starting the EzSet/EQ process. When you are ready to
begin, select Continue and press the OK Button.
NOTE: Before running the EzSet/EQ process, the AVR 254 will
automatically set its master volume to -25dB.
Step Four – After you select “Continue”, the screen shown in Figure 48
will appear, directing you to select the number of speakers in your system.
Select 5.1 if no surround back speakers are present, or if the surround
back channels will be used for multizone operation.
Figure 48 – EzSet/EQ: Number of Speakers
NOTE: If you are using fewer than five main speakers in your
system, it will not be possible to configure your speakers using the
EzSet/EQ process; proceed as described in the Advanced Functions
section. If you have selected a 6.1-channel configuration, using only
a single surround back speaker, it is possible to use a combination
of EzSet/EQ automatic configuration for 5.1 speakers, connect the
single surround back speaker to the
left
Surround Back Speaker
Output, and then configure the surround back speaker manually, as
described in the Advanced Functions section. However, we do not
recommend the 6.1-channel configuration.
The test will begin, and the screen shown in Figure 49 will appear,
asking you to maintain silence during the EzSet/EQ configuration.
If possible, turn off any noisy appliances, such as air conditioners.
Avoid conversation. If unwanted sounds are inadvertently heard during
the test, such as a telephone, select Cancel to return to the Speaker
Setup menu.
Figure 49 – EzSet/EQ In Progress
As EzSet/EQ tests each speaker, its position will appear on screen.
Select Cancel to stop the test. If the test tone is heard from a different
speaker than the one indicated on screen, turn off the AVR and check
the speaker-wire connections, then turn the AVR back on and begin the
procedure again.
When the test is completed, the Continue option, will become available.
Select it, and a screen will appear, listing all of the speakers EzSet/EQ
detected, and offering three options:
• The Retest option reruns the EzSet/EQ process. Increasing the master
volume manually at this time may enable the EzSet/EQ process to
correctly detect some speakers.
• Selecting Cancel returns to the Speaker Setup menu.
• If the EzSet/EQ process detected the speakers correctly, select
Continue to proceed to the next test.
