as correct outputs ensure that you hear soundtracks

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 ambi-

ence, 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 connections have been

properly made. The system volume should be set to

the level that you will use during a typical listening

session. While the AVR 430 allows you to set output

levels manually, we recommend that the EzSet system

be used when the AVR is first installed to establish the

initial level settings.

Using EzSet

Harman Kardon’s exclusive EzSet remote makes it possi-

ble to quickly and accurately set the AVR 430’s output

levels without the use of a sound-pressure meter,

although manual adjustment 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” set-

tings (see pages 23 – 25) and tur

n off the OSD

system if it is in use

2. Adjust the volume so that it is at

Ð15dB,as

shown in the on-screen display or

Lower Display

Line

Press and hold the

SPL Select Button on

the remote until the red LED under the

Set Button

q lights and the LCD screen in the remote

changes to the display shown in Figure 10.

Press the

Set Button q within five seconds to

move to the next step.

5. Press the

⁄

Navigation Button o until the lower

line of the remote’

s LCD display shows the number of

speakers in your system.

(Don’t count the subwoofer

or speakers that are part of a multizone system.) F

example, if you have left, center, right, surround left and

right, and surround back left and right speakers for

a full 7.1 system, press the button twice so that the

bottom line reads

7 CHANNELS,

as shown in

Figure 11.

6. Hold the remote in front of you at arm’s length, being

sure not to cover the

EzSet Microphone Sensor

at the top of the remote, and press the Set

Button

q within five seconds to begin the EzSet

calibration process. At this point, EzSet will take con-

trol of your AVR, starting the test tone at the front left

speaker, and automatically adjusting the output level

so that it is correct. During the adjustment the on-

screen display and the

Lower Display Line $

will display the speaker position on the left side of

the display and the offset from reference level on

the right side of the display. As the levels are

adjusted, the speaker position and a level indication

will appear in the bottom line of the remote’s LCD

display (Figure 12).

• 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 f TWICE to stop the adjustment.

Then turn the unit off and verify that all speakers

are connected to the proper

Speaker Outputs

§¶ª‚ and that any connections made to

speakers powered by optional amplifiers through

the

Preamp Outputs £ are correct.

• During the adjustment process for each channel,

you will see indications of

LOW,

HIGH

and a level

readout in

dB. This is normal, and it confirms that

EzSet is doing its job of changing the levels to

match the desired reference

• If a channel cannot be adjusted to the proper

reference level,

you will see

FAIL displayed in

the remote’s bottom LCD line before the test tone

moves to the next channel.

This is usually an indi

cation that the volume control was set too low.

When EzSet stops circulating the tone through all

channels and retur

ns to nor

mal,

adjust the volume

level and repeat the procedure from Step 3.

After the test noise has circulated once through each

channel,

it will send the tone to each channel once

again, to verify the settings.

After two complete circulations of the tone, the levels

are set. Upon completion of the second circulation,

the

LCD Information Display c will flash

COMPLETE three times and then go out. The

tone will stop and the

AVR 430 will return to

normal operation.

If you find that the output levels chosen by EzSet are

either uncomfortably low or high, you may repeat the

procedure. Return to Step 2 and adjust the master vol-

ume either slightly higher or lower to accommodate your

particular room layout and your tastes. You may repeat

this procedure as many times as necessary to achieve a

desired result. In order to prevent possible damage to

your hearing or your equipment,

it is important to avoid

setting the master volume above 0dB.

NOTE: The subwoofer output is not adjusted when the

test tone is in use. To adjust the subwoofer output, you

must use an external source, following the instructions

on page 35.

Manual Output Level Adjustment

Output levels may also be adjusted manually, either to

set them to a specific level with an SPL meter, or to

make fine tuning adjustments to the levels obtained

using the EzSet remote.
