System Configuration

Figure 17i

When both the Far Field and Near Field measure-

ments have been successfully completed your

system is ready for use. Thanks to EzSet/EQ, the

settings for speaker “size”, speaker crossover,

channel output and individual channel delay time

have been automatically set and require no fur-

ther adjustment. In addition, EzSet/EQ also per-

forms a complete room equalization that tailors

the system’s performance for the best possible

sound with your combination of speakers, speak-

er placement and room acoustics. The next few

pages in this manual detail the procedure for

manually entering system data, but unless you

want to view the setting information and make

an adjustment, you are now ready to enjoy the

finest in home theater and music reproduction.

Go to page 40 for complete information on

operating your AVR.

Manual Setup

In most cases it is simpler, easier and more

accurate to let EzSet/EQ take care of entering the

system parameters for speaker “size”, speaker

crossover, channel output and individual channel

delay time. However, if you feel that your listen-

ing room or system components are best suited

to manual entry of these settings, the AVR 645

also allows you to enter or trim any of these tra-

ditional system parameters. Even if you do make

the settings manually, we recommend that you

run the EzSet/EQ tests first so that a baseline set-

ting is established, and then make your adjust-

ments from there. Note that once EzSet/EQ has

been run you do not need to adjust all system

settings, only those that you want to adjust.

To view or change the current settings, press the

OSD Button

on the remote to bring up the

MASTER MENU (Figure 7). Next, press the

Navigation Button

as needed until the

cursor is on the

EZSET/EQ line. Navigate to

the

EZSET/EQ MANUAL SETUP line.

Press the Set Button

to view the

MANUAL SETUP menu (Figure 18).

Figure 18

If you have already run the EzSet/EQ calibration

system, the first line of the menu enables you to

hear the difference between the settings estab-

lished by EzSet/EQ. The default setting is

ON,

which plays the incoming source with the

EzSet/EQ settings. To hear the system in a Bypass

mode, with none of the equalization filters in the

circuit path, press the

‹

›

Navigation Button

so that OFF is highlighted. Note that once

changed, this setting will remain until you

change it again in this menu. While you may

want to use this menu option to hear the

difference that EzSet/EQ makes, we recommend

that you leave the setting on to take advantage

of the benefits of EzSet/EQ’s advanced room

correction technology.

The

EZSET ADJUST line on the menu

enables you to set the system’s Tilt, or high-fre-

quency boost. To make this adjustment, first

make sure that

EZSET EQ line is set to ON, as

this item is not available when EzSet EQ is not in

the signal path. When the cursor is on the

EZSET ADJUST line, press the Set Button

, and then press the

‹

›

Navigation

Button

to enter the desired setting. When

you have completed your adjustment, press the

›

Navigation Button

to move the cursor

down to the

BACK TO MANUAL SETUP

line and press the Set Button

Note on Manual Setup Menus: Each of the

four major manual setup menus (Speaker Size,

Speaker Crossover, Delay Adjust and Channel

Adjust) includes a line that reads

EZSET

SETTINGS

. When the default setting of

OFF is shown you are able to make any

required adjustments that are available on that

menu. However, you may change the setting to

ONat any time to recall the settings established

when EzSet/EQ was last run. It is also important

to note that when the EzSet/EQ settings are in

use, the AVR will not allow any changes to be

made. To trim the settings press the

‹

›

Navigation Button

until the cursor is on

the

EZSET SETTINGS line on the menu in

use and press the

‹

›

Navigation Button

to change the setting to OFF. This will allow

you to make changes to the settings on that

menu.

Speaker Size Menu

Although most listeners will prefer to take

advantage of the accuracy and speed of EzSet/EQ

to make all of the necessary speaker adjust-

ments, advanced users may wish to experiment

with how different combinations of settings

sound in their home theater environment or to

use settings other than those calculated by

EzSet/EQ, to accommodate personal listening

preferences.

The menu system used in your AVR differs

somewhat from conventional speaker setup

menus in that it consolidates the speaker “size”

and crossover into one convenient menu. Even if

you are familiar with making these adjustments,

it is strongly recommended that you read the

following section of this manual.

On the

SPEAKER SIZE menu (Figure 19)

you have the option to change the type of

speaker configured for each of the four position

groups, to change the crossover setting for any

one of those speakers, to adjust the setting point

for the low-pass filter that determines which

frequencies are sent to the subwoofer for low-

frequency effects (LFE) signals, to change the

subwoofer bass redirection mode when the Front

Left/Right speakers are set to Large and to

change the setting for the subwoofer size. If, as

recommended, you have first run the EzSet/EQ

system, as shown on pages 29-32, the settings

established by EzSet/EQ will be displayed as a

starting point for any manual adjustments. You

may reestablish those settings at any time during

an adjustment on this menu by pressing the

⁄

Navigation Button

until the cursor

is on the

EZSET SETTINGS line of the

menu and then pressing the

‹

›

Navigation

Button

so that ONis highlighted in reverse

video. Note, however, that once this is done, any

manual adjustments made will be lost and must

be reentered.

Speaker Size

At each of the four speaker group positions, you

have the ability to select the speaker “size” and,

when a “Small” speaker is selected, the fre-

quency below which low-frequency information

is sent to the subwoofer, as opposed to the

speakers for the channel being adjusted. For that

reason, before making the adjustments on the

FRONT L/R, CENTER, SIDESURR

and BACK SURR menu lines, it is important

to know the frequency range for the speaker. This

information is typically found in the “Specifica-

tions” section of the speaker’s owner’s manual. If

you cannot find the specification for the lowest

frequency the speaker can handle, start with the

settings entered by running EzSet/EQ and then

try one setting above or below the existing entry.

We do not recommend changing the crossover

point more than that due to the possible impact
