SYSTEM CONFIgURATION
Figure 5
Step 5
: The first screen of the EzSet/EQ system will now appear to remind
you to plug in the microphone. If you have not already done so, plug the
microphone into the Headphone Jack
3
as described in steps 2 and 3. When
you are ready to proceed, make certain that the cursor is pointing to Continue
and press the OK Button
V
. If you do not wish to continue with the EzSet/
EQ process, press the
KL
Navigation Buttons
F4
to highlight Cancel and
then press the OK Button
V
to return to the Speaker Setup.

Step 6
: After you select “Continue”, the screen shown in Figure 6 will appear.
Although the AVR may be used with up to eight speakers, you may have
elected not to install surround back speakers at this time, or you may have
decided to use the surround back speaker channels to power speakers in
the remote room of a multiroom system. This screen directs you to program
EzSet/EQ for a 5.1- or 7.1-channel configuration. Select the setting that
reflects the number of speakers installed in your system, and EzSet/EQ will do
the rest automatically!
NOTE
: If you are using fewer than six speakers in your system, then it will
not be possible to configure your speakers using EzSet/EQ, and you will
need to select Manual Configuration as described starting on page 22. 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 from page 23. However, we do not
recommend the 6.1-channel configuration.
If you have forgotten to plug in the EzSet/EQ microphone, the warning screen
shown in 5 will appear as a reminder.
Figure 7
NOTE
: As shown in the Figures, while EzSet/EQ is in progress a Cancel
setting is highlighted. You may interrupt EzSet/EQ at any time by simply
pressing the OK Button
V
.
IMPORTANT NOTE
: Anyone with hearing that is sensitive to loud noises
should leave the room at this point, or use ear protection sufficient to reduce
the noise level. Inexpensive foam-style ear plugs, available at most drug
stores, may be used to reduce the sound level to a tolerable level. If you are
uncomfortable with, or cannot tolerate, loud sounds and do not use some
sort of ear protection, we strongly recommend that you leave the room and
ask someone else to run the EzSet/EQ process, or that you do not use EzSet/
EQ and enter the configuration settings manually, as described on pages 22
through 26.

Step 7
: Once EzSet/EQ has been started, you will hear test signals circulate
among all of the speakers as the system sets the master level, checks to see
where there are speakers, sets the distance measurement and calculates
delay time settings, sets the speaker “size”, and sets the speaker crossover
point. During the measurement and calibration process, you may observe the
progress of the testing by reading the messages that appear in the second
line of the menu listing.
EzSet/EQ uses the left front speaker to set the master volume level, and then
it proceeds directly to measuring the speaker output levels.
Step 8
: When the EzSet/EQ process has finished, a screen will appear with
its results. You may press the OK Button
V
, and the Speaker Setup screen
shown in Figure 4 will appear.
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 adjustments to the input and surround mode configurations, 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 30 to learn how to operate AVR 260.
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.
