WHAT'S IN THE BOX

Packed with your T 748 you will find
• An AM loop antenna
• A FM ribbon-wire antenna with balun
• A detachable mains power cord
• Measurement microphone for auto calibration
• AVR 4 remote control with 2 AA batteries
• Owner's manual in CD-ROM
SAVE THE PACKAGING
Please save the box and all of the packaging in which your T 748 arrived. Should you move or
otherwise need to transport your T 748, this is by far the safest container in which to do so. We've seen
too many otherwise perfect components damaged in transit for lack of a proper shipping carton, so
please: Save that box!

INITIAL SETUP

Before you make the first connection to your T 748, you should have the arrangement of your
listening room/home theater components and furniture mapped out, at least initially. Unfortunately, a
discussion of the vital questions of loudspeaker placement and listening/viewing positions is beyond
our scope here.

CHOOSING A LOCATION

Choose a location that is well ventilated (with at least several inches to both sides and behind), and
that will provide a clear line of sight, within 25 feet/8 meters, between the T 748's front panel and your
primary listening/viewing position - this will ensure reliable infrared remote control communications.
The T 748 generates a modest amount of heat, but nothing that should trouble adjacent components.
It is especially important that sufficient ventilation be provided.

DEFAULT SOURCE SETTINGS

The following table lists the default SOURCE settings. Note that the Audio input settings show both
digital and analog audio input. Digital input will always take precedence over analog audio input even
if both are present.
Source Audio Input
Source 1 HDMI 1/ Audio 1
Source 2 Optical 2/ Audio 2
Source 3 Coaxial 1/Audio 3
Source 4 Coaxial 2/Audio 3

Tuner
For Video output, select the highest quality video format available on your TV/Monitor and utilize this
for your Monitor OUT connection from the T 748 to the TV/Monitor. For T 748, this should be HDMI
with the other choice being Composite video output.
To modify the above default settings and for a better understanding of source setting and
combinations, please refer to the item about "SOURCE SETUP" in the "USING THE T 748 - SETUP MENU"
segment of the "OPERATION" section.
