Full-OSD Time-Out Adjustment

The FULL OSD menu system is used to simplify
the setup and adjustment of the AVR 745 by using a
series of on-screen menus. The factory default setting
for these menus leaves them on the screen for 20
seconds after a period of inactivity before they disap-
pear from the screen (Time-Out). Time-Out is a safety
measure to prevent image retention of the menu text
in your monitor or projector, which might happen if it
were left on indefinitely. However, some viewers may
prefer a slightly longer or shorter period before the
on-screen display disappears.
With the ADVANCED SELECT menu on the
screen (Figure 32) make certain that the cursor is next
to the FULL OSD TIME OUT line by press-
Navigation Buttons D© as
ing the /
⁄ ¤
needed. Next, press the ‹ / › Navigation Buttons
D© until the desired time is displayed in sec-
onds. Unlike most of the other options in this menu,
this is a permanent setting change, and the Time-Out
entry will remain in effect until it is changed, even if
the unit is turned off.
If you wish to make other adjustments, press the
Navigation Buttons D© until the cursor
/
⁄ ¤
is next to the desired setting or the BACK TO
MASTER MENU line and press the OK/Enter
Button E or the Set Button œ. If you have
no other adjustments to make, press the Menu
Button A or the OSD Button ∫ to exit the
menu system.
DMP/ The Bridge Auto Power
TM
When using Harman Kardon's optional
iPod docking station, the normal operation is to have
the iPod selected as the input source only when it is
specifically chosen. However, you may set the AVR so
that whenever the iPod is turned on, the AVR will also
turn on automatically and set The Bridge as the input.
To change the setting, first make certain that the
ADVANCED SELECT menu (Figure 32) is
on the screen, and then press the /
⁄
Buttons D© until the cursor is pointing to
DMP AUTO POWER. Press the
Navigation Buttons D© so that ON is
highlighted to have the AVR turn on in sync with
an iPod, or OFF for standard operation.

HDMI Video Auto Function

⁄ ¤
In normal operation when the AVR 745 is connected
to an HDMI-equipped video display, the display will
almost always use a signal called EDID (extended dis-
play identification data), which communicates a variety
of information that helps the AVR to properly format
the output video signal to conform with the capabilities
of the display. In most cases, the goal is for the AVR or
any other source device using EDID to tell all other
devices in the signal chain which resolutions and
aspect ratios are available. The AVR default setting is
to allow for this automatic operation.
In some cases, you may wish to override the default
settings, perhaps to send a lower resolution output
from the AVR to the display, so that you may demon-
strate the difference between the various output
resolutions offered by the AVR 745. The HDMI
VIDEO AUTO line enables you to do this, by
formatting the video output the resolution set in the
video configuration menus, or when the Faroudja video
processing is set to Bypass, to the resolution of the
incoming video signal.
To turn off the automatic HDMI configuration so
that the display's EDID signal is ignored, press the
Navigation Buttons D© while the
/
⁄ ¤
ADVANCED SELECT menu is on screen
until the cursor is pointing to HDMI VIDEO
AUTO. Press the
D© to select OFF, or select ON to return
the AVR to normal operation.
When all needed adjustments to the ADVANCED
SELECT menu have been made, press the
Navigation Buttons D© until the cursor
/
⁄ ¤
is pointing to BACK TO MASTER MENU to
make changes to other menus, or press the Menu
Button A or the OSD Button ∫ to exit the
menu system and return to normal operation.
