so that the word

OUT is highlighted. The Input/Output Status

ndicator

L b

etween the S- and composite video

jacks will turn red, indicating that the analog Video 4

jacks are now record outputs.

Selection of the front-panel jacks as outputs will

remain effective as long as the AVR 745 is on. Once

the unit is turned off, the jacks will revert to their nor-

mal use as inputs when the unit is turned on again.

n exclusive Harman Kardon feature is the ability to

switch the front-panel coaxial digital audio and analog

audio/video jacks from their normal use as inputs to

output connections so that portable recording devices

may easily be connected. On the AVR 745, the

Coaxial 4

Digital Jack

M is nor

mally an input, but it

may be switched to a digital output for use with digital

recorders. To change the jack to an output, press the

⁄

vigation Buttons

while the

IN/OUT SETUP menu is on screen until the

cursor is next to

COAXIAL 4. Then press the

‹

›

Navigation Buttons D

so that OUT is

highlighted. The Input/Output Status Indicator L

will then turn red, indicating that the jack is now a

record output.

NOTE: A signal will be sent to this jack only when the

input selected for use by the AVR 745 is digital. Digital

signals will be passed through, regardless of their for-

mat, and which digital input (optical or coax) they are

fed from. Analog signals are not converted to digital,

and their format (e.g., PCM, Dolby Digital or DTS) may

not be changed.

The

REC OUT line enables you to select what

the audio output is at the analog record outputs for

the input source being configured. Press the

‹

›

Navigation Buttons D

to choose one of the

following if you wish to change the default setting:

•

ANALOG selects an unprocessed pass-through

of an analog source and is the default setting for

most inputs

•

DSP DOWNMIX selects a two-channel down-

mix of a multichannel digital input.

When the adjustment has been made, or if no adjust-

ment is required and all settings on this page are

Video Monitor Settings

The VIDEO MONITOR SETTINGS

menu (Figure 4) is unique in that it contains a mix of

information display lines that detail status information

bout the AVR 745’s video system settings, along

with a few lines where a specific parameter may be

changed. With the

MASTER MENU on the

screen, press the

IDEO MONITOR SETTINGS

OK/Enter Button E on the TC 30

or the

Set Button

Figure 4

The IN VIDEO FORMAT line is an informa-

tional display of the resolution of the incoming video

stream, and may not be adjusted.

The

IN VIDEO COPY PROT line is an

informational display that shows whether or not an

incoming video signal contains copy protection

encoding, and may not be adjusted.

The

VIDEO PROCESS line is an

informational display of the setting made in the

IN/OUT SETUP menu indicating how

incoming video is processed for the input being

viewed, and may not be adjusted.

The

OUT

VIDEO

FORMAT

line is a non-

adjustable infor

mational display of the video resolution

of the output signal, as determined by the input and

whether or not video processing or conversion is in use.

The COMPONENT OUT line is an informational

display of whether or not the Composite Video outputs

are

ENABLED or OFF,

based on the input sig

nal type and resolution, and whether or not the incom-

ing video signal has HDCP content protection. It may

not be adjusted.

The

S-VIDEO OUT line is an informational dis-

play of whether or not the S-video outputs are avail-

able at a

480i resolution (or OFF), based on the

input signal type and resolution and whether or not the

incoming video signal has HDCP content protection.

It may not be adjusted.

The

DISPLAY INTER line allows you to

choose between an ANALOG video output default

value and an HDMI/DVI output by pressing the

‹

›

Navigation Buttons D

to make the

desired selection. When the setting is

ANALOG,

the HDMI output is placed in a Standby mode so that

it automatically switches to HDMI when an HDMI signal

is detected. If a high-definition input source is not

HDCP-content-protected, it may be output through the

component jacks; otherwise, it will be sent only to the

HDMI outputs. The

HDMI/DVI setting routes all

converted or processed video to the HDMI outputs.

DMI AUDIO OUT

ine allows you to

choose whether a two-channel downmix of the audio

hat accompanies the selected source is sent over

the HDMI connection (

YES) at the maximum bit rate

the display’s audio system is capable of handling, or

not (

NO). To change the setting, press the

‹

›

Navigation Buttons D

to make the desired

selection.

When required adjustments have been made for this

input, or if no adjustment is required, press the

⁄

Navigation Buttons D

until the on-screen

cursor is pointing to

BACK TO MASTER

MENU and then press the OK/Enter Button E

on the TC 30 or the Set Button

on the ZR 10

remote to return to the main menu screen.

Video Setup

The AVR 745 is among the very few audio/video

receivers that include an onboard video processing

system using DCDi by Faroudja technology. It is unique

in that it also allows the video controls to be individually

set for each video input source. This permits you to

compensate for the problems inherent in older tech-

nologies such as VCR while taking the maximum

advantage of new source options such as DVD,

digital cable and satellite programming.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The video processing is only

available when the AVR 745 is connected to a “digital-

ready” or HDTV video display that is able to accom-

modate input sources of 480p or greater via an ana-

log component or HDMI connection. If your video dis-

play does not have that capability

you may skip the

settings in this section, as they will not apply to your

home theater system.

Within the

VIDEO MAIN menu are the settings

that define the input and establish the global settings

for the video output. The two video

ADVANCED

CONFIGURATION

submenus contain the

individual parameters that will be applied to the specific

video input in use. Before proceeding with the setup,

we suggest that you look at the default settings for

each input,

which are listed in the appendix to this

manual. If the settings for any input mirror the configu-

ration of your home theater system, then no further

adjustment is needed.

It is worth noting that the impact of many of the indi

vidual settings is subtle

, and it is only when they are

grouped together that the full power of the video pro-

cessing system is unleashed. That means that there is
