Multiroom Operation

Remember that once this setting is made you will not be able to take advantage of any of the 6.1/7.1- channel decoding or processing modes, and no Surround Back speakers must be selected in the speaker setup procedure outlined earlier. In addition the speakers used for the remote zone must be connected to the Surround Back/ Multiroom Speaker Outputs . The volume for these speakers is set by the multiroom sys- tem, as explained on page 55 of this manual.

Infrared Output Selection

The AVR 745 enables you to select which IR input will be used to feed the Full Carrier IR Output . The factory default setting is the IR signal that is fed to the Multiroom IR Input

, but you may select other options.

To change this setting, first make sure the MULTI-ROOM SETUP menu is on the screen, and then press the /¤ Navigation Buttons DF so that the cursor is next to CARRIER OUT; then press the OK/Enter Button

Eon the TC 30 or the Set Button Q on the ZR 10. Press the /¤ Navigation Buttons DF to select one of these options:

ZR 10 feeds the signal present at the

Multiroom IR Input

to the Full Carrier

IR Output .

 

A-BUSfeeds the signal carried back from an optional A-Bus module connected to the AVR

to the Full Carrier IR Output .

FRONT feeds the signal received through the front-panelRemote Sensor Window ¯ to

the Full Carrier IR Output .

With the remote pointing toward an IR sensor or A-Bus module in the remote room, you may turn on the second zone system by pressing the AVR Selector Button B on the ZR 10 remote to turn the system on with the last used source for the multiroom system active, or you may press one of the Input Selectors D or the Tuner

Selector C or Selector  to

turn the multiroom system on directly to a specific source. To turn the multiroom system on using the TC 30 remote, press the Devices Button 4 on the TC 30 remote and then press the Screen Button 6 next to AV RECEIVER. When the choices on the LCD Screen 7 change, press the Page Left/Right Buttons 8 once and then press the Screen Button 6 next to MULTI-ROOM.

When the multiroom system is turned on, you may use the same buttons on either remote that would normally be used to control an AVR function such as volume, source selection, tuner control or the operation of an iPod docked to The Bridge. If any of the input devices are connected to the IR Output or Full Carrier IR Output

,by either a hard-wire connection or through an optional IR “blaster,” you may use the Transport Controls P on the ZR 10 to operate compatible Harman Kardon products or the appropriate controls that have been pro- grammed for any source device into the TC 30.

To turn the system off from the remote room, press the Power-Offbutton A on the ZR 10. Remember that the AVR may be turned on or off from the remote room regardless of the system’s operation or status in the main room.

To turn the multi-room system off from the room where the AVR 745 is located, press the Devices Button 4 on the TC 30 remote and then press the Screen Button 6 next to AV RECEIVER. When the choices on the LCD Screen 7 change, press the Page Left/Right Buttons 8 once and then press the Screen Button 6 next to MULTI-ROOM. A MULTI-ROOM ON/OFF message will appear in the Lower Display Line ˜. Press the OK/Enter Button E on the TC 30 or the Set Button Q to turn the system off.

When the multiroom system is turned on, the input selected using the Multiroom Menu will be fed to the Multiroom Audio/Video Output

jacks on the rear panel as well as the

A-BUS Jack .

The volume will be as set in the same menu, although it may also be adjusted using an option- al IR sensor and the Zone II remote in the remote location or on the optional audio power amplifier connected to the Multiroom Output jacks .

Although changes to the input source or remote room volume will normally be made using an IR sensor in the remote room that is connected to the AVR, it is also possible to change those set- tings from the main listening room. This is useful for situations where some or all of the remote rooms do not have an IR sensor, or to take con- trol over the remote room without actually being in that room.

In addition to using the MULTI-ROOMmenu, as shown on the previous page, you may change the source or volume in the remote zone using the remote.

When all needed adjustments to the MULTI- ROOM SETUP menu have been made, press the /¤ Navigation Buttons DF until the cursor is pointing to BACK TO MASTER MENU to make changes to other menus, or press the Menu Button A or the OSD Button E to exit the menu system and return to normal operation.

Multiroom Operation

When operating the AVR from a remote room location where an IR sensor link has been con- nected to the AVR’s rear panel Multiroom IR Input , you may use either the Main remote control or the ZR 10 remote buttons BCD. Press the AVR Selector B to turn the unit on to the last source, or any of the other Selector buttons to turn on to a specific source.

NOTE: When the tuner is selected as the source for the remote zone, any change to the frequency or preset will also change the station being lis- tened to in the main room, if the tuner is in use there. Similarly, if someone in the main room changes the station, the change will also impact the remote room.

To turn the multiroom system on from the room where the AVR 745 is located, press the Devices Button 4 on the TC 30 remote and then press the Screen Button 6 next to AV RECEIVER. When the choices on the LCD Screen 7 change, press the Page Left/Right Buttons 8 once and then press the Screen Button 6 next to MULTI-ROOM. If the AVR is in the Standby mode (not turned “on”), the multiroom system will automatically be turned on. If the AVR is on, a MULTI-ROOM ON/OFF message will appear in the Lower Display Line ˜. Press the OK/Enter Button

Eand then press the /¤ Navigation Buttons DF to turn the system on.

Using the TC 30 remote, press the Devices Button 4 on the TC 30 remote and then press the Screen Button 6 next to AV RECEIVER. When the choices on the LCD Screen 7 change, press the Page Left/Right Buttons 8 once and then press the Screen Button 6 next to MULTI-ROOM. Press the /¤ Navigation Buttons DF to select either MULTI INPUT or MULTI LEVEL.

To change the remote room’s input source, when MULTI INPUT appears, press the OK/Enter Button E on the TC 30 or the Set Button Q on the ZR 10, and then press the

/ ¤ Navigation Button DF until the desired input appears in the on-screen display and in the Lower Display Line ˜. Remember that only analog or PCM input sources may be selected for use with the Multiroom system. Dolby Digital or DTS sources are not available to the Multiroom system.
