• If the tests were successful, the message will
show the number of subwoofers, as shown in
Figure 21.You may either press the OK/Enter

on the TC 30 or the Set Button

next step and conclude the EzSet Design
process, or press the

on the TC 30 or the Set Button
Q on the ZR 10 remote to either repeat the
subwoofer test or return to the main EzSet/EQ
menu. In most cases you should select
“Continue.”
• If the tests were not successful, a message sim-
ilar to Figure 21 will appear, except that the
top line will flash

ERROR
. Follow the suggestions in the mes-
sage to verify that the subwoofer(s) is properly
connected and that the microphone is in the
proper position, and increase the volume level
by 5dB. Then, press the OK/Enter Button
E
on the TC 30 or the Set Button Q on the
ZR 10 remote to repeat the test as often as
needed until a successful result is achieved.
Step 5: When all measurements are successfully
completed, the final step in the EzSet Design
process is to save the settings into the AVR 745’s
memory. You may program up to three different
EQ settings to accommodate differences in place-
ment of the microphone to reflect alternate lis-
tening positions, but we recommend that you
create two settings and leave one memory in the
“bypass” mode so that you have the ability to
compare the two equalized settings against a
“straight through” setting that has no equaliza-
tion applied.
At the conclusion of the measurements for an
EQ Design, make certain that the
EZSET/EQ
DESIGNDONE
menu (Figure 22) is on your
screen. It will appear when you are done with
the Subwoofer design, or when you “skip”
through the Near Field and/or Subwoofer steps.

The “test drive” feature allows you to listen to
the source that was playing before the EzSet/EQ
Design process was initiated, and it is a good
way to make sure that you are pleased with the
results. The “Warning” refers to the fact that the
volume level may have been raised during the
Design process, so it is always a good idea to
lower the volume a bit.You may always raise it
once the playback starts.
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, and play-
back will resume while the on-screen menu
changes to the
DESIGNPREVIEW page
(Figure 23).

• If you are pleased with the sound, press the
OK/Enter Button
E
on the TC 30 or the
Set Button Q on the ZR 10 remote to move
to the next screen and store the settings.
• If the sound is not to your liking, press the

on the TC 30 or the
Set Button Q on the ZR 10 remote. Follow
the on-screen prompts in the menus to return
to the
EZSET/EQMAINmenu and
repeat the EQ Design process.
• If this is your first attempt at running
EzSet/EQII, we recommend that you save the
settings, even if you are not sure whether you
like them, then rerun the EQ Design process
again. Since the AVR 745 is able to store multi-
ple EQ Design settings, this will give you the
opportunity to compare two different designs
to the bypass mode with no equalization
applied.You may then select the preset you like
best.
If you proceed to store the settings, the next
menu will let you select which memory position
will be used (Figure 24).

When the PRESETSAVESELECTION

where you wish to save the settings and then
press the OK/Enter Button

on the TC 30
or the Set Button Q on the ZR 10 remote. If
you have previously stored an EQ Design and
wish to enter new settings to that position, a
warning message will appear, reminding you that
the existing settings for that preset will be over-
written. If that message appears, press the
OK/Enter Button

on the TC 30 or the Set

on the TC 30 or the Set
Button Q on the ZR 10 remote to return to
the
PRESETSAVESELECTION screen
so that you may select another memory preset.
While an EQ Design is being stored, a message
will appear to remind you that the memory stor-
age is in process. When the settings are stored,
you will be returned to the
EZSET/EQ
MAIN
menu. Once a setting is stored, the next
time you complete an EQ Design and are at the
PRESETSAVESELECTION page, the
word
DESIGNwill appear next to any preset
where you have previously stored data.
At this point, you may either follow the prompts
in the menu to exit back to another menu, create
another EQ Design, or use the manual setup
menus to fine-tune an EQ Design.
Thanks to EzSet/EQ II, the settings for speaker
“size,” speaker crossover, channel output and
individual channel delay time have been auto-
matically set and require no further adjustment.
In addition, EzSet/EQII also performs a complete
room equalization that tailors the system’s per-
formance for the best possible sound with your
combination of speakers, speaker placement and
room acoustics. The next few pages in this manu-
al detail the procedure for manually entering sys-
tem data, but unless you want to view the set-
ting information and make an adjustment, you
are now ready to enjoy the finest in home the-
ater and music reproduction. Go to page 42 for
