Operation

Basic Operation

Once you have completed the setup and configu- ration of the AVR, it is simple to operate and enjoy. The following instructions should be fol- lowed for you to maximize your enjoyment of your new receiver:

Before using the AVR 745, we strongly recom- mend that you program the TC 30 remote, following the instructions provided in both the separate TC 30 Installation Guide and the wizards available when the TC 30 is connected to the Internet through your computer. While the TC 30 is preprogrammed to operate the AVR 745 and Harman Kardon DVD players right out of the box, programming the TC 30 for all the compo- nents in your system and setting it up for the activities that best match the way you use your home entertainment system will greatly add to the enjoyment of your total home entertainment system.

Turning the AVR On or Off

•When using the AVR for the first time, you must press the Main Power Switch 1 on the front panel to turn the unit on. This places the unit in a Standby mode, as indicated by the amber color of the Power Indicator 3. Once the unit is in Standby, you may begin a listening session by pressing the System Power Control 2 or the Source button % on the front panel or the AVR Selector B. Note that the Power Indicator 3 will turn blue. This will turn the unit on and return it to the input source that was last used. The unit may also be turned on from Standby by pressing any of the Source Selector buttons on the remote BCD or the Source button % on the front panel.

•To turn the AVR 745 on using the TC 30 remote:

•Press the Screen Button 6 next to one of the Activities shown on the LCD screen. The preprogrammed Activities include the remote control codes that not only turn on the AVR 745, but also switch it to the input associated with the Activity and turn on a compatible

Harman Kardon DVD player when it is part of the Activity. If you have programmed the TC 30 for your own Activities, other devices will turn on and operate as specified in the Activity design.

•Press the Devices Button 4 and then press the Screen Button 6 to the left of AVR. When the options on the LCD screen change, press the Screen Button 6 to the right of ON to turn the unit on or the one next to OFF to place it in the Standby mode.

•When using the ZR 10 remote, press the AVR Selector B to turn the unit on and select the last source that was used. Press any of the Input Selectors D, or source-specific buttons such as the Tuner Selector C or The Bridge/DMP Selector Button  to both turn the AVR 745 on and select that specific source.

Whenever the AVR is turned on, you will see all of the front-panel indicators light up for a few seconds. This is normal, and it is part of the unit’s power-on self-test procedure.

Note: When an Input Selector or source-specific button on the ZR 10 remote BCD is used to turn the AVR 745 on, press the AVR Selector B to use the remote for control of the AVR 745.

To turn the unit off at the end of a listening ses- sion, simply press the System Power Control

2on the front panel or the Power Off Button

2A on the remote. Power will be shut off to any equipment plugged into the rear panel

Switched AC Outlets and the Power

Indicator 3 will turn orange.

When the remote is used to turn the unit “off” it is actually placing the system in a Standby mode, as indicated by the orange color of the Power Indicator 3.

When you will be away from home for an extended period of time it is always a good idea to completely turn the unit off with the front panel Main Power Switch 1.

NOTE: All preset memories may be lost if the unit is left turned off with the Main Power Switch 1 for more than two weeks.

Using the Sleep Timer

•To set the AVR 745 to turn off after a predetermined time period, press the Devices Button 4, followed by the Screen Button 6 at the top of the row of buttons on the left side of the TC 30, to the left of the A/V receiver image on the LCD screen. Next, press the Page Left/Right Buttons 8 to view PAGE 2 of the AVR functions.

•To put the AVR in the Sleep mode, press the Screen Button 6 to the right of the word SLEEP in the LCD. Each press of the button will decrease the time before the AVR shuts down in the following sequence.

Once you have set the desired Sleep Time, the front-panel display will automatically dim to half- brightness. The display will return to full- brightness when any button on the front panel or a remote is pressed, and then return again to half-brightness. To check on the time remaining until the unit shuts down, follow the instructions shown above to access the Screen Button 6 for Sleep and press it once.

To cancel the Sleep function, follow the instructions shown above to access the Screen Button 6 for Sleep and press it first until the information display returns to normal brightness and then again as many times as needed until the words SLEEP OFF appear in the Lower Display Line ˜.

When you will be away from home for an extended period of time, it is always a good idea to completely turn the unit off with the front- panel Main Power Switch 1.

Source Selection

•To select a source, press any of the Source Selector buttons on the remote BCD.

NOTE: After pressing one of the Input Selector buttons CD to turn the unit on, press the AVR Selector B to have the remote control the AVR functions.

•The input source may also be changed by pressing the front-panel Input Source Selector button %. Each press of the button will move the input selection through the list of available inputs.

•Two options are available for selecting an input source using the TC 30 remote.

•Pressing the Activities Button 3 will dis- play the list of preprogrammed activities. Press the Screen Button 6 next to any activity to turn the unit on, select the input source shown, and perform any other steps that have been programmed into the activity.

•To directly select a source, first press the Devices Button 4 and then press the Screen Button 6 to the left of AV RECEIVER at the top of the list of options on the LCD Screen 7. To select an audio-only input source (Tuner, CD, 6/8-Channel Direct, DMP/The Bridge or Tape), press the Screen Button 6 to the left of AUDIO INPUTS. When the screen display changes, press the Screen Button 6 next to the desired input. To select an audio/video input source (Video 1/2/3/4, DVD or HDMI 1/2) press Screen Button 6 to the right of A/V INPUTS. When the screen display changes, press the Screen Button 6 next to the desired input.
