When Dolby Pro Logic II Music or Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music is selected as the listening mode, three special settings are available to tailor the sound field to your listening room environment and your individual taste and preferences. (When other Dolby Surround modes are selected, dotted lines will indicate that these settings are not active.)
•Center Width: This setting adjusts the balance of the vocal information in the front soundstage between the center and front left/right speakers. The lower settings spread the center channel sound more broadly into the left and right channels. A higher number (up to “7”) produces a tighter center channel presentatioin.
•Dimension: This setting alters the perceived depth of the surround field by creating a shallower presentation that appears to move sounds toward the front of the room, or a deeper presentation that appears to move the center of the sound field toward the back of the room. The setting of “O” is a neutral default, with the range of adjustment shown as
•Panorama: Switch this setting on or off to add an enveloping
To change these parameters, press the ⁄/¤ Navigation Buttons DF while the DOLBY SURROUND menu is on the screen until the ➞ cursor is pointing to the line on the menu with the parameter you wish to change. Then, press the ‹/› Navigation Buttons DF to alter the setting to your taste.
Note that when the Dolby Digital mode is select- ed there are additional settings available for the Night mode that are associated with the sur- round mode only, not with the input. That´s why these settings must be made only once, not with each input in use.

Night Mode Settings
The Night mode is a feature of Dolby Digital that uses special processing to preserve the dynamic range and full intelligibility of a movie sound track while reducing the peak level. This prevents abruptly loud transitions from disturbing others, without reducing the sonic impact of a digital source. Note that the Night mode is only available when the Dolby Digital surround mode is selected.
To adjust the Night mode setting from the menu press the OSD Button E so that the MASTER menu appears. Then press the ¤ button DF to access the SURROUND SETUP and press the OK/Enter Button E on the TC 30 or the Set Button Q to select the SURROUND SETUP menu. Press Set
Qto select the DOLBY SURR SETUP menu (see fig. 10).
To adjust the Night mode setting, make certain that the › cursor is on the NIGHT line of the DOLBY menu. Next, press ‹/› Buttons DF to choose between the following settings.
OFF: When OFF is highlighted, the Night mode will not function.
MID: When MID is in the highlighted video, a mild compression will be applied.
MAX: When MAX is in the highlighted video, a more severe compression algorithm will be applied.
When you want to use the Night mode feature, we recommend that you select the MID setting as a starting point and change to the MAX setting later, if desired.
Note that the Night mode may be adjusted directly any time that Dolby Digital surround mode is selected by pressing the Night button B. When the button is pressed, the words D- RANGE followed by the current setting (MID, MAX, OFF) will appear in the lower third of the video screen and in the Main Information Display ˜. Press the ⁄/¤ buttons DF within five seconds to select the desired setting, then press the OK/Enter Button E on the TC 30 or the Set Button Q to confirm the set- ting.
When all settings on the DOLBY SURROUND menu have been competed, press the ⁄/¤ Navigation Button DF until the cursor is next to BACK TO SURROUND SETUP and press the OK/Enter Button E on the TC 30 or the Set Button Q on the ZR 10 remote. You may then make any additional changes to the available options from that screen, or use ⁄/¤ Navigation Button DF to move the cursor to the BACK TO SURROUND CONFIG menu and press the OK/Enter Button E on the TC 30 or the Set Button Q on the ZR 10 remote again to back up one menu.
At the main SURROUND SETUP menu, you may change the SOURCE to make adjustments to another input, or when all input sources have been configured, use ⁄/¤ Navigation Button DF to move the cursor to the BACK TO MASTER MENU and press the OK/Enter Button E on the TC 30 or the Set Button
Qon the ZR 10 remote to return to the main menu so that you may move to the next step in configuring your AVR 745.
Using EzSet/EQ II
The AVR 745 uses Harman Kardon’s EzSet/EQ II technology to automatically configure your sys- tem to deliver the best possible performance based on your specific speaker selection, where the speakers are placed in the room and the acoustic influences in your listening room. By using a series of test signals and the processing power of the Texas Instruments DA 610 digital signal processor, EzSet/EQ II eliminates the need for manual adjustment of speaker “size”, crossover, delay and output level settings while it adds the power of a
