Speaker Size Menu - Harman Kardon AVR 347 Owner's Manual

ADVANCED FUNCTIONS
Figure 89 – Manual Speaker Setup Menu
There are four submenus in the Manual Speaker Setup Menu: Speaker
Size, Speaker Crossover, Delay Adjust and Channel Adjust. As each
submenu's name is highlighted, its settings will be displayed. To navigate
the Manual Speaker Setup menus, press the Set Button when the
desired submenu is highlighted, and the first line of the submenu will
be highlighted. Press the Set Button to change a setting. Use the
Buttons to scroll through the options, pressing the Set Button again to
select an option. Use the
⁄
the submenu. When you are finished making all of your adjustments
in a particular submenu, press the ‹ Button to return to the list of
submenus, and use the /
⁄
If you have run EzSet/EQ, the values obtained during that process will
appear in these menus. You may use them as a starting point for your
adjustments, which is recommended, or you may reset the values in the
Delay Adjust and Channel Adjust submenus.
Each submenu's settings are dependent upon the previous submenu,
and therefore we recommend you visit the menus in the order shown.

Speaker Size Menu

Move the cursor to the Size line and press the Set Button to display the
Speaker Size submenu. See Figure 89.
The Speaker Size menu lists each of the speaker groups. You will be
programming the correct setting for each group, indicating how many
speakers are in your system and what their capabilities are, based on
the information you obtained in Step One – Determine Speaker Size.
Each of the main speaker groups can be set to one of three settings:
LARGE, SMALL or NONE. These settings don't refer to the physical size
of the speaker, but rather to its frequency range. These may or may not
turn out to be the same.
If the lower number of the frequency response for your speakers is less
than 100Hz, choose the LARGE setting. If this number is 100Hz or
greater, choose the SMALL setting. If you don't have a speaker installed
in that position, choose NONE. You may record the speaker size setting
in Table A5 in the appendix.
As you can see, the system requires you to use both speakers in a pair.
For example, you can't connect just a front left speaker without a right
speaker, or just a right surround (rear) speaker without a left one.
However, you can connect only the front speakers, or both front and
surround speakers without a center, or the front left/right and center
speakers without any surrounds.

Usually you would not connect the surround back speakers without also
connecting the front and side surround speakers. However, the AVR 347
has the capability to reassign the surround back amplifier channels to
the multiroom system, enabling you to use these channels to power a
pair of speakers in another room independently of the speakers you use
in your main listening area. In that case you might connect speakers to
the surround back/multiroom terminals without using the side surround
speaker terminals at all.
LEFT/RIGHT: This line tells the AVR 347 the capabilities of your front
left and right speakers. Use the
or LARGE for these speakers.
CENTER: Move the cursor to the line for the center speaker, and use
the / Buttons to select a setting for this speaker.

NOTE: If the receiver is currently in one of the Logic 7 surround
modes, which will be the case the first time you turn on the
‹ / ›
receiver, you won't be able to set the center speaker to LARGE,
due to the requirements of the Logic 7 processor. You may use
the SMALL setting instead. As you listen to the receiver, if you
find the SMALL setting is not satisfactory, change the surround
mode to one of the Dolby Pro Logic II modes (using the
Surround Setup menu, and return to this menu to change the
center speaker to the LARGE setting.
SURROUND: Move the cursor to the line for the side surround
speakers, and use the
NONE setting for these two speakers.
SURR BACK: Use the
NONE setting for the surround back speakers.
The AVR 347 is one of the few receivers in its class to include multi-
room capability. With assignable surround back amplifier channels, set-
ting up a multiroom system is more convenient than ever, no longer
requiring an external amplifier to power the remote speakers. This line
indicates whether the surround back channels are in use with the multi-
room system by indicating MAIN when the multiroom system is not in
use and MULTI when it is. It is not possible to change the status of the
surround back channels from this menu; the MAIN/MULTI indication is
for information only. The status may only be changed by activating or
deactivating the multiroom system using the MULTI ROOM SETUP menu
as described in the Multiroom Operation section on page 58.
SUBWOOFER: Move the cursor to the line for the subwoofer, which is
programmed a little differently. The subwoofer's "size" setting depends
upon how you programmed the front left and right speakers.
• If you set the front speakers to SMALL, the subwoofer setting will
be SUB (LFE), and you won't be able to change it. All low-frequency
information will always be sent to the subwoofer. If you don't have
a subwoofer, you may wish to set your front speakers to LARGE
so as not to lose this information, but you may need to lower the
volume to avoid adverse results. We recommend that you either
upgrade to full-range speakers or add a subwoofer to your system
at the earliest opportunity.
