INITIAL SETUP

The Initial Setup section requires that you complete all of the steps

in the Installation section that apply to your receiver. You should have

connected all of your loudspeakers and a video display, as well as your

source devices. You should be able to turn on the receiver and view

a blue screen on

your video display. If necessary, reread the Installation

Section before continuing.

Configure the AVR 347 Using EzSet/EQ

One of the most important and perhaps often overlooked aspects of

setting up a home theater system is to calibrate the receiver to match

the loudspeakers, which enables the AVR to perform at its best.

Until recently, most receivers required the user to perform the calibration

and configuration manually, a somewhat tedious process that called for

a good ear or the purchase of an SPL (sound-pressure level) meter.

Although you may configure the AVR 347 manually, as described in

the Advanced Features section, we recommend that most users take

advantage of our signature EzSet/EQ system.

Before beginning, eliminate extraneous background noise that might

affect the results, such as noisy air conditioning. Try to avoid making

any loud noises while running EzSet/EQ.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE: During the EzSet/EQ procedure,

a series of very loud test tones will be played through all of the

speakers. Avoid sitting or standing close to any one speaker

during the procedure. If you are particularly sensitive to loud

noises, you may wish to leave the room and have someone

else run EzSet/EQ.

Step One – Place the included EzSet/EQ microphone in the listening

position, or in the center of the room, at about the same height as the

listeners’ ears. The microphone features a threaded insert on the bottom

so that it can be mounted on a camera tripod for stability.

Step Two – Plug the EzSet/EQ microphone into the Headphone

Jack/EzSet Microphone Input Jack on the front of the receiver.

See Figure 51.

Step Three – Make sure that the AVR 347 and the video display are

turned on. Press the OSD Button to display the Menu System. See

Figure 48. Use the

⁄

Buttons to move the cursor to the Speaker

Setup tab, and then press the Set Button to select the Speaker Setup

menu. See Figure 52.

Select the “Auto Configuration” setting, and the screen shown in Figure

53 will appear to direct you to plug the EzSet/EQ microphone into the

Headphone Jack.

Step Four – After you select “Continue”, the screen shown in Figure 54

will appear. Although the AVR 347 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 configura-

tion. 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 five main 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 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
