Navigation Buttons D© to select another
configuration item on this page, or press the Menu
Button A or the OSD Button ∫ if you have
completed your adjustments to the Multi-room system.
Infrared Output Selection
The AVR 745 enables you to select which IR input
will be used to feed the Full Carrier IR Output
The factory default setting is the IR signal that is fed
to the Multiroom IR Input , but you may select
other options.
To change this setting, first make sure the
MULTI-ROOM SETUP menu is on the
screen, and then press the ⁄ / ¤ Navigation
Buttons D© so that the cursor is next to
CARRIER OUT; then press the OK/Enter
Button E on the TC 30 or the Set Button œ
on the ZR 10. Press the ⁄ / ¤ Navigation Buttons
D© to select one of these options:
• ZR 10 feeds the signal present at the Multiroom
IR Input to the Full Carrier IR Output
• A-BUS feeds the signal carried back from an
optional A-BUS module connected to the AVR to
the Full Carrier IR Output .
• FRONT feeds the received through the front-
panel Remote Sensor Window F to the Full
Carrier IR Output .
When all needed adjustments to the MULTI-
ROOM SETUP menu have been made, press the
Navigation Buttons D© until the cursor

Multiroom Operation
When operating the AVR 745 from a remote room
location where an IR sensor link has been connected
to the AVR 745's rear-panel Multiroom IR Input
or via an A-BUS module, you may use either the
TC 30 or the ZR 10 remote.
With the remote pointing toward an IR sensor or A-BUS
module in the remote room, you may turn on the sec-
ond zone system by pressing the AVR Selector
Button ç on the ZR 10 remote to turn the system
on with the last used source for the multiroom system
active, or you may press one of the Input Selectors
∂ or the Tuner Selector é, the XM Radio
Selector ƒ or Bridge Selector ® to turn

the multiroom system on directly to a specific source.
To turn the multiroom system on using the TC 30
remote, press the Devices Button 4 on the TC 30
remote and then press the Screen Button 6 next
to AV Receiver. When the choices on the
52 52 MULTIROOM OPERATION MULTIROOM OPERATION
LCD Screen 7 change, press the Page Left/Right

¤
Buttons 8 once and then press the Screen
Button 6 next to Multi-Room.
When the multiroom system is turned on, you may
use the same buttons on either remote that would
normally be used to control an AVR function such as
volume, source selection, tuner control or the opera-
tion of an iPod docked to The Bridge. If any of the
.
input devices are connected to the IR Output
Full Carrier IR Output
nection or through an optional IR "blaster," you may
use the Transport Controls π on the ZR 10 to
operate compatible Harman Kardon products or the
appropriate controls that have been programmed for
any source device into the TC 30.
To turn the system off from the remote room, press
the Power Off Button å on the ZR 10. Remember
that the AVR 745 may be turned on or off from the
remote room, regardless of the system's operation or
status in the main room.
NOTE: When the tuner is selected as the source for
.
the remote zone, any change to the frequency or pre-
set will also change the station being listened to in the
main room, if the tuner is in use there. Similarly, if
someone in the main room changes the station, the
change will also have an impact on the remote room.
To turn the multiroom system on from the room where
the AVR 745 is located, press the Devices Button
4 on the TC 30 remote and then press the Screen
Button 6 next to AV Receiver. When the
choices on the LCD Screen 7 change, press the
Page Left/Right Buttons 8 once and then press
the Screen Button 6 next to Multi-
Room. If the AVR is in the Standby mode (not
turned "on"), the multiroom system will automatically
be turned on. If the AVR is on, a MULTI-ROOM
ON/OFF message will appear in the Lower
Display Line
and then press the
D© to turn the system on.
To turn the multi-room system off from the room
where the AVR 745 is located, press the Devices
Button 4 on the TC 30 remote and then press the
Screen Button 6 next to AV Receiver.
When the choices on the LCD Screen 7 change,

D© to turn the system off.
NOTE: The multiroom system will remain on even
when the AVR is turned off in the main listening room
where it is located. When the AVR 745's multiroom

is located, the light surrounding the front-panel

amber, and a MULTI-ROOM ON message
will be shown in the Lower Display Line
When the Multiroom system is turned on, the input
selected using the Multiroom menu will be fed to the
Multiroom Audio/Video Outputs
panel as well as the A-BUS Connector ¢. The vol-
ume will be as set in the previous selection, although it
may also be adjusted using an optional IR sensor and
the ZR 10 remote in the remote location, or the A-BUS
keypad, or on the optional audio power amplifier con-
nected to the Multiroom Audio Outputs
Although changes to the input source or remote room
volume will normally be made using an IR sensor in
the remote room that is connected to the AVR, it is
also possible to change those settings from the main
listening room. This is useful for situations where some
or all of the remote rooms do not have an IR sensor,
or to take control over the remote room without
actually being in that room.
In addition to using the MULTI-ROOM menu,
as shown on the previous page, you may change the
source or volume in the remote zone using the
remote. Using the TC 30 remote, press the Devices
Button 4 on the TC 30 remote and then press the
Screen Button 6 next to AV Receiver.
