Step 9. You will now see a Warning message
similar to the one shown in Figure 7 except that it
will contain an option to return to the
menu (Figure 7f) as
well as the ability to return to the
. If you are ready to proceed with the test,
make certain that the microphone is properly
pointed toward the speaker selected for calibra-
tion, press the Navigation Button
that is highlighted and press the Set Button
.
Step 10. One short test signal will be sent to the
speaker position being calibrated and after a
slight pause fro the system to calculate the test
results, you will see either a "Near Field
Complete" message or a "Near Field Error" mes-
sage. In most cases, the "Complete" message will
appear, in which case you should proceed to Step
11, if an "Error" message appears, go to Step 12.
Step 11. If the test results were successful, the
message shown in Figure 7g will appear. In order
to properly calibrate the system, you will need to
run the Near Field tests for all three front channel
speakers (left, center and right). After running the
test for the front left speaker, make certain that
the cursor is pointing towards
and press the Set Button
. When you are taken back to the Near Field
Select menu (Figure 7f) where you should repeat
Steps 8 through 11 until all three front speakers
have been calibrated. When that is done the
EzSet/EQ process is complete and you should
press the Navigation Button
to the Master Menu.

Step 12. If a "Near Field Error" message
appears, as shown in Figure 7h, you should check
to make certain that the microphone is about one
meter from the speaker being tested and that the
top of the microphone unit is pointing towards
the speaker. You may also have to raise or lower
the master volume to achieve accurate readings.

When both the Far Field and Near Field measure-
ments have been successfully completed your sys-
tem is ready for use. Thanks to EzSet/EQ, the set-
tings for speaker "size", speaker crossover, chan-
nel output and individual channel delay time have
been automatically set and require no further
adjustment. In addition, EzSet/EQ also performs a
complete room equalization that tailors the sys-
tem's performance for the best possible sound
with your combination of speakers, speaker place-
ment 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 adjust-
ment, you are now ready to enjoy the finest in
home theater and music reproduction. Go to
page 35 for complete information on operating
your AVR 635.

Manual Setup

In most cases it is simpler, easier and more accu-
rate to let EzSet/EQ take care of entering the sys-
tem parameters for speaker "size", speaker
crossover, channel output and individual channel
to return
delay time. However, if you feel that your listening
room or system components are best suited to
manual entry of these settings, the AVR 635 also
allows you to enter or trim any of these tradition-
al system parameters. Even if you do make the
settings manually, we recommend that you run
the EzSet/EQ tests first so that a baseline setting
is established, and then make your adjustments
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.

this menu option to hear the difference that

gy.
