To choose this mode, simply press the OK/Enter Button E on the TC 30 or the Set Button oe, as the cursor is already pointing to Automatic when the menu appears on the screen. Then press the OK/Enter Button E on the TC 30 or the Set Button oe again when the AUTOMATIC EZSet/EQII menu appears, and continue to Step 1 of the EQ Design process. · If you wish to set the speaker size and crossover, channel delay or channel output levels manually and then have EzSet/EQII set the room equalization, with the EZSET/EQ MAIN menu (Figure 12) on the screen, press the //¤ Navigation Buttons D© to move the cursor to the EZSET/EQ MANUAL SETUP line and then press the OK/Enter Button E on the TC 30 or the Set Button oe on the ZR 10 remote. Follow the instructions on pages 33 to 38 for the items you wish to set manually. During that process, a message may appear reminding you to run EzSet/EQ, which you may ignore at this time since you will return to the EzSet/EQ menu at the conclusion of your manual adjustments. After completing all manual settings, press the //¤ Navigation Buttons D© to move the cursor to the BACK TO EZSET/EQ MAIN line and then press the OK/Enter Button E on the TC 30 or the Set Button oe on the ZR 10 remote. When that menu (Figure 12) returns to the screen, press the //¤ Navigation Buttons D© again to move the cursor to the MANUAL EQ DESIGN line and then press the OK/Enter Button E on the TC 30 or the Set Button oe on the ZR 10 remote. A message will appear, reminding you to manually set the system parameters, but since you have just done that, make certain that the cursor is at the CONTINUE line and press the OK/Enter Button E on the TC 30 or the Set Button oe on the ZR 10 remote. · If you wish to enter the settings for speaker configuration, channel output adjustment and delay times manually, press the //¤ Navigation Buttons D© to move the cursor to the EZET/EQ MANUAL SETUP line and then press the OK/Enter Button E on the TC 30 or the Set Button oe on the ZR 10 remote. This will take you to the MANUAL SETUP menu, where additional submenus contain the configuration adjustments. · The EZSET/EQ PRESET SELECT line is used to recall one of the three EQ Designs that may be stored with different settings. For more information on using the Preset Selections, see page 38 or 48. EQ Design is done in a series of steps, with the Far Field measurements first, followed by the Near Field measurements and, finally, the Subwoofer measurements. In each case, the process is the same: the on-screen menus will direct you to place the microphone in a specific location, and when that portion of the process is started, test tones will be sent to the speaker or speakers being measured. The system will then pause slightly as the results of the measurement are calculated and stored in system memory. If the step was successful, an on-screen message will report the test results and direct you to the next step. If the step did not produce acceptable results, an error message will appear, suggesting the adjustments needed to correct the problem and start a re-test. During each EQ Design step, you have the option to perform the tests for that specific portion of the process, or you may skip the settings and move to another step or return to the EZSET/EQ MAIN menu (Figure 12). When the complete EQ Design process is complete, you will be given an opportunity to "test drive" the settings by listening to a source with the room equalization filters applied. [. . . ] The unit will turn on automatically and display the RESET message in the Upper Display Line #. NOTE: Resetting the processor will erase any configuration settings you have made for speakers, output levels, surround modes, and digital input assignments, as well as the tuner presets. After a reset, the unit will be returned to the factory presets, and all settings for these items must be reentered. If the system is still operating incorrectly, there may have been an electronic discharge or severe AC line interference that has corrupted the memory or microprocessor. If these steps do not solve the problem, consult an authorized Harman Kardon service center. 54 TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE APPENDIX SYSTEM DEFAULTS The two tables in this section show the factory default settings for the Video Inputs and Video Sources.
