SYSTEM CONFIGURATION

no “right” or “wrong” setting in many cases, and the

setting that looks best to your eyes is the one that is

truly correct for your specific combination of equip-

ent, room environment and your own personal view-

ng preferences. Feel free to experiment with different

setting combinations, as you can't “hurt” anything by

doing so.

hen you do reach the combination of settings for

both your display system and each input, it is a good

idea to write those settings down using the worksheets

found on pages 55 – 57. (A copy of the blank work-

sheets may also be found in the support section our

Web site at www.harmankardon.com/support.)

To reach the

VIDEO MAIN menu, first make

sure the

MASTER MENU is on the screen, and

then press the

‹/› Navigation Buttons D

until the on-screen cursor is pointing to VIDEO

SETUP

and then press the OK/Enter Button E

on the TC 30 or the Set Button

on the ZR 10

remote. The

VIDEO MAIN menu (Figure 5) will

appear on the screen.

Figure 5

Once the first VIDEO MAIN menu is displayed

with the on-screen cursor pointing to

SOURCE,

press the

‹/› Navigation Buttons D

until

the name of the input you wish to change the settings

for is shown.

At the same time

any video input name

previously changed to individualize the source setting

will be shown on the

TITLE line. To change the

title, go back to the

IN/OUT SETUP menu.

Once the source to be adjusted has been selected,

press the

⁄/¤ Na

viga

tion Buttons

until

the on-screen cursor is pointing to

SOURCE

TYPE as the two lines below the TITLE line

are infor

mational only

and their setting may not be

adjusted in this menu.

• The

VIDEO IN-PORT line shows the video

input jacks used for this input.

AUTO has been

selected,

the display will alternate between

AUTO

and the actual active input.

• The

VIDEO PROCESS line shows whether

the system is in the Bypass, Video Conversion or

Faroudja video processing mode. Note that the

FAROUDJA setting must be enabled for the input

being adjusted through the IN/OUT

in order for the settings available on this menu and

the

ADVANCED CONFIGURATION

menus to be active.

Once an input is selected, the first configuration choice

is to tell the AVR 745 what type of device is being

used for that source. To change this setting from the

ystem default, press the

¤ N

avigation Button

o that the on-screen cursor is pointing

SOURCE TYPE and then press the ‹/›

Navigation Buttons D

to select, from among

the options shown, one that is closest to the type of

roduct connected to that input. The selection made

will change the settings on the

ADVANCED

CONFIGURATION SUB-MENUS

those best suited to that type of device. Of course, you

ay also change these settings yourself at any time

through the submenus.

The list of input source defaults is:

DVD: This setting is optimized for use with the

output signal of a typical DVD player.

VCR: This setting is optimized for use with the

output signal of an analog videocassette recorder.

CABLE DIG: This setting is optimized for

use with digital cable set-top boxes. However, it is

important to note that even when a digital cable

system is in use, there may be a mix of digital and

analog channels. We recommend that you start with

this setting and then change the options in the

ADVANCED CONFIGURATION

menus as needed, to tailor the output to your

preferences.

SAT DIG: This setting is optimized for use

with digital satellite-system set-top boxes.

CABLE ANA: This setting is optimized for

use with analog cable set-top boxes.

SAT

ANA:

This setting is optimized for use

with analog satellite-system set-top boxes

CAMERA ANA: This setting is optimized for

use with analog

VCRs and camcorders.

CAMERA

DIG:

This setting is optimized for

use with digital camcorders or still-image cameras.

The

DISPLAY

TYPE

line is a global,

rather

than input-dependent setting, as there is only one dis-

play connected to the AVR. The settings here are pri-

marily changes to the video enhancement level and

aspect ratio

for a specific type of device, and defaults

were selected after testing on a wide range of

brands.

To change this setting, press the

¤ Navigation Button D

so that the on-

screen cursor is pointing to

DISPLAY TYPE

and then press the ‹/› Na

viga

tion Buttons

to select, from among the options shown, one

that is closest to the type of display being used. The

selection will change the settings on the

ADVANCED CONFIGURATION

SUB-MENUS

to the parameters best suited to

that type of display

. Of course, you may also change

these settings yourself at any time, through the sub-

menus. The list of input source defaults is:

CRT: This setting is optimized for use with dis-

plays that use cathode ray tubes (CRTs) to display

images. For the purposes of this setting, it does not

matter whether the display is a single tube, direct-

view CRT TV or a three-tube front or rear projector.

he default aspect ratio is 4:3, but you may change

that setting, if desired, on the second page of the

Advanced Configuration

submenus, as shown on page 27.

EAR PROJECT:

his setting is optimized

for rear projectors

regardless of the imaging tech-

nology used.

FRONT PROJECT: This setting is opti-

mized for front projectors, regardless of the imaging

technology used.

PLASMA: This setting is optimized for plasma

displays, regardless of whether they are true high-

definition or “ED” displays that are HD-compatible.

DLP: This setting is optimized for use with pro-

jectors that use light engines with Texas Instruments’

DLP

technology. For the purposes of this setting,

it does not matter whether the display uses one or

three chips, or whether the display is front or rear

projection.

LCD: This setting is optimized for use with dis-

plays that use liquid crystal display (LCD) technology.

For the purposes of this setting, it does not matter

whether the display is a direct-view LCD flat panel,

or front or rear projector.

The

ENHANCE LEVEL setting adjusts the

degree to which the enhancement circuits that adjust

the high-frequency content of the signal are applied.

This is similar to the "Sharpness" control on a tradi-

tional television. This setting acts on the vertical and

horizontal as well as the luminance and chrominance

signals to offer what will appear as enhanced depth in

the picture as well as greater small object detail. In

general, lower settings are applicable for digital dis-

plays and sources, while higher settings may be pre-

ferred for CRT

-based displays and digital sources.

If you wish to change the default setting to suit your

specific display type, input sources and personal

image preferences, when the

VIDEO MAIN

menu is on the screen, press the ¤ Navigation

Button

so that the on-screen cursor is

pointing to

ENHANCE LEVEL and then press

the

‹/› Navigation Buttons D

to enter the

setting that delivers the best image to your eyes on

the scale of 0 to 100.

After any changes to the

ENHANCE LEVEL

line have been made

press the

⁄/¤ Na

viga

tion

Buttons

so that the on-screen cursor is

pointing to the

PICT ADJUST line. At this
