NOTE: Digital inputs take precedence: The T 744 will automatically play any active signal present at the selected digital input; if none is present, it will “fall back” to the analog audio input assigned to that Video input. Digital inputs can be selected OFF to listen to the analog input of a source with an assigned digital input.

The selected channel appears on the VFL and on-screen displays; use the VOLUME(SETUP) knob to adjust its level relative to the others over a range of ±12 dB. Channel levels may also be adjusted via the on-screen menus; see “Adjusting Channel Levels,” below.

NOTE: The HTR 2 remote’s [Surr.], [Center], and [Sub] / keys provide direct access to those channels’ relative levels, however in this case the level changes are only temporary and are not saved in memory.

14TONE DEFEAT: Press to disable the tone controls; press again to re-enable them for instance, to compare a tone setting to unmodified sound.

NOTE: While TONE DEFEAT is engaged, the TONE CONTROLS key will have no effect.

The Speaker B are an auxiliary set for remote locations such as other rooms of your home. For Speaker B selection all surround sound sources are downmixed to stereo as shown in the florescent display.

17VIDEO 6 INPUT: Use these convenience jacks for occasional sources, such as a camcorder, portable MP3 or tape player, or a video game console, or any other analog audio, or composite or S-Video video source. Select the Video 6 input using the HTR 2 remote, or the front-panel VIDEO 6 key.
