System Configuration

Once the speakers have been placed in the room and connected, the remaining steps are to program the system configuration memories.

Although it is necessary to assign input/output settings and surround mode choices manually, we recommend that you take advantage of the power and precision of EzSet/EQ II to automati- cally select and enter the settings for all other audio parameters. This will not only save you time; it will ensure that your room is calibrated and equalized with an accuracy not possible when these settings are made manually. You are now ready to power up the AVR 745 to begin these final adjustments.

First Turn On

You are now ready to power up the AVR to begin these final adjustments.

1.Make certain that the AC power cord is firmly inserted in to the AC Power cord Recepticle

and plug the cord into an unswitched AC out- let. To maintian the unit's safety rating,

DO NOT substitute the power cord for one with lower current capacity.

2.Press the Main Power Switch 1 in until it latches and the word “OFF” on the top of the switch disappears inside the front panel. Note that the Power Indicator 3 will turn orange, indicating that the unit is in the Standby mode.

3.Remove the protective plastic film from the main front-panel lens. If left in place, the film may affect the performance of your remote control.

4.Turn the AVR on either by pressing the System Power Control 2 or the Input Source Selector % on the front panel, or via the remote by pressing the the Devices Button 4 on the TC 30 and then pressing the Screen Button 6 at the top of the left side of the remote, next to the screen message AV RECEIVER. The Power Indicator 3 will turn blue to confirm that the unit is on, and the Main Information Display ˜ will also light up.

Using the On-Screen Display

When making the following adjustments, you may find them easier to make via the unit’s on- screen display system. These easy-to-read displays give you a clear picture of the current status of the unit and facilitate speaker, delay, input or digital selection you are making.

To view the on-screen displays, make certain you have made a connection video or HDMI on the rear panel to the appropriate matching input of your TV or projector. In order to view the AVR’s displays, the correct video input must be selected on your video display.

IMPORTANT NOTE: When viewing the on-screen menus using a CRT-based projector, plasma display or any direct-view CRT monitor or television, it is important that they not be left on the screen for an extended period of time. As with any video display, but particularly with projectors, constant display of a static image such as these menus or video game images may cause the image to be permanently “burned into” the CRT. This type of damage is not covered by the AVR warranty and may not be cov- ered by the projector TV set’s warranty.

The AVR has two on-screen display modes, “Semi-OSD” and “Full-OSD.” When making con- figuration adjustments, it is recommended that the Full-OSD mode be used. This will place a complete status report or option listing on the screen, making it easier to view the available options and make the settings on the screen. The Semi-OSD mode uses one-line displays only.

Making Configuration Adjustments

To activate and configure the AVR 745 using the full-OSD system, either the TC 30 remote or the ZR 10 remote may be used, though you may find the ZR 10 an easier choice for this purpose.

With the TC 30:

•Press the Devices Button 4.

•When the images on the LCD screen change, press the Screen Button 6 at the top of the left side of the remote, next to the screen message AV RECEIVER.

•Press the Menu Button A to activate the OSD menu system.

•When the MASTER MENU or any subse- quent menu is on the screen, use the ⁄/¤ Navigation Buttons D to move through the menus or submenus. Press the OK/Enter Button E, when appropriate, to enter a selection.

•To scroll through the options available for a specific menu, press the ‹/› Navigation Button D. In most cases, you may simply select the option and then use the ⁄/¤ Navigation Buttons D to move to the next line, while in some cases you may need to press the OK/Enter Button E first. The detailed instructions for each menu will tell you which buttons to press.

•Press the Menu Button A to remove the menus from the screen and return to normal operation.

With the ZR 10:

•Press the OSD Button E to activate the menu system. The MASTER MENU (Figure 1) will appear.

•Once the MASTER MENU or any subse- quent menu is on the screen, use the ⁄/¤ Navigation Buttons F to move through the menus or sub-menus. Press the Set Button Q, when appropriate, to enter a selection.

•To scroll through the available options for a specific menu, press the ‹/› Navigation Button F. In most cases, you may simply select the option and then use the ⁄/¤ Navigation Buttons F to move to the next option, while in some cases you may need to press the Set Button Q first. The detailed instructions for each menu will tell you which buttons to press.

The full-OSD menus remain on the screen for twenty seconds after the last button press, after which they “time out” and disappear from the screen. The length of time menus remain on the screen before the time-out may be increased to as long as fifty seconds by adjusting the settings for FULL OSD TIME OUT in the ADVANCED SELECT menu, as shown on page 50.

In addition to the menu-driven full-OSD system, a number of settings and adjustments may be made directly from the TC 30 remote, using the semi-OSD system. To make adjustments using the semi-OSD, with the TC 30:

•Press the Devices Button 4.

•When the images in the LCD change, press the Screen Button 6 at the top of the left side of the remote control, next to the screen mes- sage AV RECEIVER.

•The screen images will change again. To adjust a setting on the first page of options, press the Screen Button 6 to the left or right of the item you wish to change, and then use the

⁄/¤ Navigation Buttons D to move through the available settings and option choices. Press the OK/Enter Button E, when appropriate, to enter a selection.
