available XM channels, press the Screen Button
6 next to Tuning Up or Tuning
Down.
• To select the tuner from the ZR 10 remote control,
press the XM Radio Selector Button ƒ.
Channels are selected using the Prev/Next
Transport Controls π.
While using XM Radio is similar in many ways to
AM/FM terrestrial radio, the wide range of program
choices available, as well as the ability of the XM serv-
ice to add special data and information tags into the
digital audio data stream, means that some of the
front-panel and remote controls traditionally used for
tuner operation have different functions with XM
Radio.
• When XM Radio is the AVR's source, the channel
number will appear in the Upper Display Line
along with an indication of the Preset number, if any,
and a series of bars at the far right end of the dis-
play. These bars (not shown in the semi-OSD mes-
sage), show the current signal strength similar to the
signal strength displays on a cellular phone.
• The current channel's name will normally appear in
the Lower Display Line . For local traffic infor-
mation, the name of a city will be shown in place of
the channel name. You may change this display to
show the current artist and track title information by
pressing the Tuning Mode Selector
the Screen Button 6 that is next to Tune
M-XM Display when you are using the
TC 30's Tuner pages to operate the AVR. When you
are listening to a channel with local traffic informa-
tion in the "200" series of channel numbers, these
buttons change the display to show the temperature
and current weather for the selected city.
• To tune a channel number directly, simply press the
Numeric Keys H∆. Unlike standard AM/FM
tuner operation, it is not necessary to press the
Direct Button first.
• The AVR 745 has five banks of preset memories for
XM Radio, each with eight memory positions and
designated by a letter ("A" through "E"). To store a
channel into a memory group, first press the
OK/Enter Button E when using the TC 30
remote control to operate the AVR's XM Radio func-
tion, or the Set Button œ on the ZR 10 remote
until PRESET SEARCH appears in the
Upper Display Line and on the top line of the
semi-OSD display. Next, press the
‹
Buttons D © until the desired preset memory
bank letter appears in the Lower Display Line
and in the bottom line of the semi-OSD display.
Next, press the Memory Button ñ or the
Screen Button 6 next to the word Memory
on the LCD screen and note that a dash will start to
flash next to the preset memory bank letter. Within
five seconds, press the Numeric Button H∆
from 1 to 8 for the memory slot you wish to use.
• To tune up or down through a list of channels stored
in the currently active preset memory, press the
Channel Up/Down Buttons G on the TC 30
or the Screen Button 6 next to Next
Preset or Prev Preset when the
"Listen to XM Radio Activity" is in use. You may also
use the Preset Station Selector 5 on the front
panel. To change to another preset bank, press the
Set Button Iœ on the front panel or the
ZR 10 remote, or the OK/Enter Button E when
using the TC 30 remote, and then press the
Navigation Buttons D© until the desired
preset memory bank letter appears in the Lower
Display Line
semi-OSD display.
,
• Each XM Radio channel is assigned a category,
which may be viewed by pressing the Tuning
Mode Selector
6 that is next to Tune M-XM
Display when you are using the TC 30's
Tuner pages to operate the AVR. You may search
for an XM channel in any of the categories by first
pressing the Set Button Iœ on the front panel
or ZR 10 remote, or the OK/Enter Button E
when using the TC 30 remote, and then pressing
Navigation Buttons D© until the
the ‹ / ›
ø or
desired category name appears in the Lower
Display Line
semi-OSD display. Press the Set Button Iœ or
OK/Enter Button E again to start the search for
the next channel in that category.
• Note that you may see a LOADING message,
indicating that the XM tuner is downloading content
and may not be able to operate. If the message
continues to appear, check to see whether the XM
antenna is properly positioned toward a south-facing
window, experiment with the antenna position, or
change to another input and then reselect XM Radio.

OPERATION OPERATION
NOTES:
• The digital outputs are active only when a digital sig-
nal is present, and they do not convert an analog
input to a digital signal, or change the format of the
digital signal. In addition, the digital recorder must
be compatible with the output signal. For example,
the PCM digital input from a CD player may be
recorded on a CD-R or MiniDisc, but Dolby Digital
or DTS signals may not.
• The Front-Panel Video 4 N and Coaxial 4 M
jacks may be configured for use as outputs, allowing
connection to a recorder, when the steps shown in
the section below are followed.
• Please make certain that you are aware of any
copyright restrictions on any material you copy.
Unauthorized duplication of copyrighted materials
is prohibited by federal law.

urable front-panel output-jack feature. For easy con-
nection of portable devices, you may switch the front-
panel Video 4 Jacks N or the Coaxial Digital 4
Jack M from an input to an output by following
