may select any of the three inputs for any source
except the HDMI inputs or the Tuner. If you do not

until you see the desired input in the high-
lighted video.
When the desired component input has been selected,

to go to
the next setting.
At the
VIDEO PROCESS line, you are able to
select which type of video processing or conversion, if
any, is to be used with the input source being config-
ured.
The default setting is to have the AVR 745’s
Faroudja processing circuitry in use, which will deliver
the best image quality when a digital video display is in
use. If you do not need to change the setting, simply
press the
/¤ Navigation Buttons D

to
move to the next line.
If your video display is not capable of accepting high-
resolution (480p and above) signals through either
an HDMI or component video connection, it is very
important that this setting be changed. Three options
are available:
The default setting is
FAROUDJA. Depending on
the input source, the video signals will be handled in
different ways:
A standard-definition (480i) analog signal (compos-
ite, S-video or component) will be digitized and sent
to the Faroudja video processor for enhancement.
The signal will be available as both an analog
component and HDMI
signal.
The standard
definition video signal will also be available at the
record outputs.
An analog component high-definition signal will be
digitized and sent to the Faroudja video processor
for enhancement. The signal will be available as
both an analog component and an HDMI signal, but
not at the analog composite or S-video monitor or
record outputs.
Any HDMI signal other than 1080i will be sent to
the
F
aroudja
video processor for enhancement and
it will be available as an output at both the HDMI
and analog component outputs. Program material
that carries HDCP copy protection encoding will only
be available through the HDMI output.
• HDMI signals in 1080i resolution will be sent directly
to the HDMI and analog component outputs without
processing. Program material that carries HDCP
copy protection encoding will only be available
through the HDMI output.

s
etting will not apply
any video enhancement or processing to the incoming
video signal, but it will output it in one of the following
ways, depending on the input source.
A standard-definition (480i) analog signal (compos-
ite, S-video or component) will be converted so that
it is available as an HDMI signal at its input resolu-
tion, as well as at the standard composite, S-video
o
r component analog video outputs. The signal will
also be available at the record outputs.
An analog component high-definition signal will be
digitized and output at its input resolution through
the HDMI outputs and as an analog component
signal, but not through the analog composite or
S-video monitor or record outputs.
• HDMI input signals, regardless of their resolution, will
be output through both the HDMI and analog com-
ponent outputs. Program material that carries HDCP
copy protection encoding will only be available
through the HDMI output.
The
BYPASS setting will not apply any video
enhancement or processing to the incoming video sig-
nal, but it will output it in one of the following ways,
depending on the input source.
Analog signals (composite, S-video or component)
will output only in the resolution and format that
matches the input for both the main “Monitor” con-
nection as well as for the record outputs.
• HDMI input signals, regardless of their resolution, will
be output through the HDMI and analog component
outputs. Program material that carries HDCP copy
protection encoding will only be available through
the HDMI output.
In addition to the changes to the video processing
configuration that are made through the
IN/OUT
SETUP
menu, you may change the setting for an
input at any time by pressing the
/ Buttons H
on the front panel to cycle through the available
choices.
When any needed change to the video processing
setting has been made,
press the
/¤ Naviga

to move to the next line.
At the
A/V SYNC DELAY line, you are able to
enter a setting that delays the audio output slightly
behind the video so that the loss of lip sync that may
occur due to digital video processing in the transmis-
sion of a program, in the playback unit or in the dis-
play is corrected.
This lack of lip sync is not a fault of
the sources; rather, it is a by-product of video signal
processing. In most cases, we recommend that the
delay adjustment be made using the direct-access
controls on the remote so that you may more accu-
rately adjust the delay while viewing the on-screen
image, following the instructions shown on page 36,
but you may also make it here using the menu sys-
tem. As the amount of delay needed may vary from
one source to another, we strongly recommend that
you adjust it for each input.
To adjust the A/V sync delay time from the
IN/OUT SETUP menu, make certain that the
cursor is pointing to the
A/V SYNC DELAY
line, and then press the / Navigation Buttons

ntil the desired amount of delay is applied
so that the on-screen video matches the audio.

The second page of the
IN/OUT SETUP

AVR 745 for special custom features.
Figure 3
The TRIGGER 2 line enables you to choose
whether a trigger voltage signal is sent to the
T
rigger
2 Output Jack
I when a specific input is selected.
Unlike the
Trigger 1 Output H, which always has a
trigger voltage present when the
A
VR 745 is tur
ned
on, the default for the Trigger 2 connection is off. The
setting on this menu line allows you to turn it on for a
specific input so that an input or source-dependent
accessory (such as a motorized projection screen or
blinds) may only be activated when, for example, an
input which requires a projection screen or darkened
room is selected.

they may be switched to outputs. First, make certain
