Notes on speaker placement:

1.The limitations of your listening room, includ- ing the placement of walls and furniture, may make it difficult to follow the speaker placement suggestions shown above. Depending on the specific layout of the room, here are some ways to compensate for unusual conditions:

•Try to follow the suggested placement, but move the speakers within a meter from the preferred locations.

•Regardless of where they are placed, always try to make certain that the main surround speakers are the same distance from the front speakers. (For example, try not to have the right surround speaker further back into the room than the left surround speaker.)

•If it is not possible to wall-mount or place speakers on a shelf, consider the use of optional floor stands, available for many speakers.

2.When using ceiling-mounted in-wall speakers, follow the same guidelines shown for conven- tional floorstanding or shelf-mounted speakers.

3.When you have reassigned the surround back channels for use in a multiroom system, follow the speaker placement instructions for a 5.1- channel system for your main listening area (see page 20).

Remote Control Setup

The AVR 745 comes with two remotes, Harman Kardon’s TC 30 activity-based remote control with color LCD and the ZR 10, which is designed primarily for use in remote rooms but which may also be used as a compact remote in your main home theater room.

The TC 30 remote packed with your new receiver will operate the AVR 745 without any further programming. However, in order to take full advantage of the TC 30’s power and flexibility, you will need to program it via the Internet so that the codes needed to control the other devices in your system (such as a video display, DVD players and set-top boxes) are transferred into the TC 30’s memory. Programming the TC

30 is easy, and complete instructions for setting up the TC 30 may be found in the separate Installation Guide for the remote.

Before using the TC 30, you must install the rechargeable battery and connect the charging cradle to its power supply. The battery should then be charged for at least twelve hours before using the TC 30.

To allow you to continue with the setup of your AVR 745 while the TC 30 battery is charging, the ZR 10 may be used to navigate through the sys- tem menus. No configuration is required; simply remove the battery compartment door on the back of the ZR 10 and install the AAA batteries supplied with the AVR. Replace the battery cover and you are ready to go!
