[. . . ] Whether the text appears in all uppercase or upper- and lowercase characters, performance and operation remain the same. The instructions shown for using the TC 30 remote are correct as of the date this manual was printed. They may change slightly from time to time when the TC 30's internal software is upgraded to add new features. 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS 29510_AVR745_Engelsk 30/10/06 9:31 Side 3 Introduction Thank you for choosing Harman Kardon!With the purchase of a Harman Kardon PM640 you are about to begin many years of listening enjoyment. [. . . ] 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. 32 SYSTEM CONFIGURATION 29510_AVR745_Engelsk 30/10/06 9:32 Side 33 System Configuration 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. In order to take advantage of this feature, before beginning the EQ Design, make certain that a source is playing with program material you are familiar with. If necessary, exit the menu system at this time to select and start the playback, and then return to EzSet/EQ II. The source will mute during the EQ Design, but will return when it is time for the "test drive. " Step 1. The EZSET DESIGN STEP 1 menuscreen (Figure 13) will appear with instructions to place the microphone, if you have not already done so. As noted on the screen, use the Volume Control id to adjust the volume level to ­25dB, as shown on the line that appears at the bottom of the menu when the volume is adjusted. Press the OK/Enter Button E on the TC 30 or the Set Button Q when the volume is set to the proper level. * EZSET DESIGN STEP 1 * NOTE: Once the EzSet/EQ II process starts, the volume control and Standby/Off switches are temporarily disabled while the tests are in progress. Do not adjust the volume or turn the unit off until you see the on-screen message change to indicate that EzSet/EQ II is finished. WARNING !!! During measurements Please keep silence. START: OFF ON BACK TO EZSET/EQ When the Far Field tests are complete a message screen will appear to confirm if the procedure was successful or not.

When the Far Field measurements are completed, the system will ask you to take three Near Field measurements, one at each front speaker position. These measurements enable EzSet/EQ to produce the most accurate settings for both high and low frequency equalization. The Near Field measurements are similar to the Far Field tests, except that the system will "listen" to only one speaker at a time, rather than sending the test signals to all speakers in rotation. If the E Q DESIGN OVERLOAD message appears, first press the OK/Enter Button E on the TC 30 or the Set Button Q on the ZR 10 remote. Make certain that the cursor is pointing to REPEAT TEST and press the OK/Enter Button E on the TC 30 or the Set Button Q on the ZR 10 remote again. At the EZSET DESIGN STEP 1 menu, lower the volume by at least 6dB and follow the steps described above to run the EzSet/EQ II system again. Depending on the amount of the overload, you may need to repeat the process more than once to achieve satisfactory results. * NEAR FIELD MENU * Please select a speaker: 1-LEFT FRONT : NO 2-CENTER FRONT : NO 3-RIGHT FRONT : NO 4-LEFT SURR : NO 5-RIGHT SURR : NO 6-LEFT BACK SURR : --7-RIGHT BACK SURR: --SKIP NEAR FIELD DESIGN BACK TO EZSET/EQ MAIN Follow the instructions and place the microphone about halfway between the speaker and the listening position where the microphone was placed during the Far Field measurements. With the cursor pointing to CONTINUE, press the OK/Enter Button E on the TC 30 or the Set Button Q on the ZR 10 remote control. When the WARNING message appears, press the > Navigation Button DF to start the test. A short tone will be heard from the speaker being tested, and after a short pause the onscreen menu will show a message to inform you of whether the test was successful or not. [. . . ] To correct this problem, first unplug the unit from the AC wall outlet and wait at least three minutes. After the pause, reconnect the AC power cord and check the unit's operation. If the system still malfunctions, a system reset may clear the problem. To clear the AVR's entire system memory including tuner presets, output level settings, delay times and speaker configuration data, first put the unit in Standby by pressing the System Power Control button 2. Next, press the Surround Mode 5 and the RDS ^ buttons simultaneously for three seconds. [. . . ]
