CREATING AND USING PRESETS

The T 743’s simple but powerfully flexible system of “Presets” allows you to customize virtually every aspect of your audio-video playback, and recall them with a single key-press. Every parameter of T 743 operation that is available from the main <Setup> menu — input settings, level settings, delay settings, speaker settings, and listening mode selection and adjustments — is stored, together, as a single Preset. You might create one Preset optimized for pop music and another for classical, or Presets that recall each family member’s favorite setup, or one for fully cinematic home-theater playback and another for late-night movies, with each Preset’s surround mode, channel levels, and speaker-setup fine-tuned to a particular scenario or preference.

CREATING PRESETS

Creating a Preset consists simply of storing a complete set of all settings accessible from the main <Setup> menu, including Tone Control settings. To save a collection of settings to a Preset, use the HTR 2 remote’s [ / ] keys to scroll to the to main <Save to Preset> item. Use [ / ] to scroll to the desired Preset’s line [1-5]; <Stored> will be flashing. Now press the HTR 2’s [Enter] to store the Preset; <Stored> will be stop flashing, confirming that the Preset has been stored.

NOTE: The selected Preset remains in force until you select a different Preset.

NOTE: It is strongly recommended to leave Preset 1 “empty”; that is, memorized with no changes at all made to the calibrated values you have entered on all of the <Setup> menu lines. This will make returning to your calibrated setup defaults easy.

RECALLING PRESETS

You may recall a Preset at any time; the newly recalled Preset will replace the previous Preset (if any). Presets can only be recalled using the HTR 2 remote:

Press the HTR 2’s square [A/V Preset] key (red dot), then press the numeric key 1-5 corresponding to the desired preset.

NOTE: The [A/V Preset] key works as a momentary “shift” key: You must press it every time before invoking a Preset via a numeric key.
