SYSTEM CONFIGURATION

When all speaker selections have been made,
press the

Button

until the on-screen

›

cursor points to

RETURN TO MENU

and

press the

Set Button

to return to the

MASTER MENU

The Speaker Configuration may also be
changed at any time without using the full-OSD
on-screen menu system by pressing the

Speaker Select

button on the front panel

or remote

. Once the button is pressed,

FNT SPEAKER

will appear in both the

lower third of the video display and the

Main

Information Display

Within three seconds, press either the front
panel

‹

›

Selector Buttons

or the

⁄

Buttons

on the remote to select a dif-

ferent speaker position, or press the

Set

Button

Ôo

to begin the adjustment

process for the front left and right speakers.

When the

Set Button

Ôo

has been

pressed and the system is ready for a change to
the speaker setting, the on-screen display and

Main Information Display

will read

FNT LARGE

FNT SMALL

, depend-

ing on the current setting. Press the front panel

‹

Selector Buttons

or the

⁄

Buttons

on the remote until the

desired setting is shown, using the instructions
for “large” or “small” shown earlier.

If the configuration for another speaker position
needs to be changed, press the front panel

‹

›

Selector Buttons

or the

⁄

Buttons

on the remote to select a different

speaker position, and then press the front panel

‹

Selector Buttons

or the

⁄

Buttons

on the remote until the cor-

rect speaker setting is shown.

To assist in making speaker configuration set-
tings, the icons in the

Speaker/Channel

Input Indicators

change as the speaker

type is selected at each position. When only the
center icon box containing the abbreviation for
the speaker position is lit, the speaker is set for
“small.” When the inner box and the two outer
boxes with circles inside them are lit, the
speaker is set for “large.” When no indicator
appears at a speaker location, that position is
set for “none” or “no” speaker.

NOTE:

These icons are available only when

making setup changes in the semi-OSD mode.

For example, in Figure 6, the left front and right
front speakers are set for “large,” the center,

left surround (LS) and right surround (RS)
speakers are set for small, and a subwoofer is
set, as shown by the box with the abbreviation
“LFE”, which stands for “low-frequency
effects.”

Output Level Adjustment

Output level adjustment is a key part of the
configuration process for any surround-sound
product. It is particularly important for a Dolby
Digital receiver such as the AVR 220, as
correct outputs will ensure that you hear
sound tracks with the proper directionality
and intensity.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Listeners are often

confused about the operation of the surround
channels. While some assume that sound
should always be coming from each speaker,
most of the time there will be little or no
sound in the surround channels. This is because
they are only used when a movie director or
sound mixer specifically places sound there to
create ambience, a special effect or to continue
action from the front of the room to the rear.
When the output levels are properly set it is
normal for surround speakers to operate only
occasionally. Artificially increasing the volume
to the rear speakers may destroy the illusion
of an enveloping sound field that duplicates
the way you hear sound in a movie theater or
concert hall.

Before beginning the output level adjustment
process, make certain that all speaker connec-
tions have been properly made. The system
volume should be set to the level that you will
use during a typical listening session. Finally,
make certain that the

Balance Control

set to the center “12 o’clock” position.

Using EzSet

Harman Kardon’s exclusive EzSet remote makes
it possible to quickly and accurately set the
AVR 220’s output levels without the use of a
sound pressure meter, although manual adjust-
ment is also available. However, for the easiest
setup, follow these steps while seated in the
listening position that will be used most often:

1. Make certain that all speaker positions

have been properly configured for their
“large” or “small” settings (as outlined
above) and turn off the OSD system if it is
in use.

2. Adjust the volume so that it is at

-15dB

, as shown in the on-screen dis-

play or

Main Information Display

3. Hold the remote in front of you at arm’s

length, being sure not to cover the

EzSet

Sensor Microphone

at the top of

the remote.

4. Press and hold the

SPL Button

for

three seconds. Release the button when
the

Program/SPL Indicator

stops

flashing and you hear the test noise from
the front left speaker.

5. At this point, the EzSet circuitry will take

over, adjusting the output level of each
channel so that when the process is com-
plete all levels will be equal and at the set
reference point. This process may take a
few minutes, depending on the extent of
adjustment required.

6. During the adjustment process, you will see

the location of the channel position being
adjusted appear in both the on-screen
display (if connected) and the

Main

Information Display

, alternating with

a readout of the output setting, relative to
the reference volume level. As the adjust-
ment proceeds, a few things will happen
simultaneously:

• The channel position being adjusted will

flash in the

Speaker/Channel Input

Indicators

. If the test noise is heard

from a channel other than the one shown
in the indicator, there is an error in the
speaker connections. If this is the case,
press the

Test Button

TWICE to

stop the adjustment. Then, turn the unit
off and verify that all speakers are con-
nected to the proper

Outputs

›ﬁ

• As each channel is set, the channel name

and the adjustment offset will appear in
the on-screen display (if connected) and
the

Main Information Display

While the level is changing, the

Program/SPL Indicator

will

change colors to reflect the output level
in relation to the reference. A red indica-
tion shows that the level is too high,
while an amber indication shows that the
level is too low. When the indicator is
green, the level is correct, and the test
