Installation and Connections
Notes on speaker placement:
1. The limitations of your listening room, includ-
ing the placement of walls and furniture, may
make it difficult to follow the speaker placement
suggestions shown above. Depending on the
specific layout of the room, here are some ways
to compensate for unusual conditions:
• Try to follow the suggested placement, but
move the speakers within a meter from the
preferred locations.
• Regardless of where they are placed, always
try to make certain that the main surround
speakers are the same distance from the front
speakers. (For example, try not to have the
right surround speaker further back into the
room than the left surround speaker.)
• If it is not possible to wall-mount or place
speakers on a shelf, consider the use of
optional floor stands, available for many
speakers.
2. When using ceiling-mounted in-wall speakers,
follow the same guidelines shown for conven-
tional floorstanding or shelf-mounted speakers.
3. When you have reassigned the surround back
channels for use in a multiroom system, follow
the speaker placement instructions for a 5.1-
channel system for your main listening area (see
page 20).
Remote Control Setup
The AVR 745 comes with two remotes,
Harman Kardon's TC 30 activity-based remote
control with color LCD and the ZR 10, which is
designed primarily for use in remote rooms but
which may also be used as a compact remote in
your main home theater room.
The TC 30 remote packed with your new receiver
will operate the AVR 745 without any further
programming. However, in order to take full
advantage of the TC 30's power and flexibility,
you will need to program it via the Internet so
that the codes needed to control the other
devices in your system (such as a video display,
DVD players and set-top boxes) are transferred
into the TC 30's memory. Programming the TC
30 is easy, and complete instructions for setting
up the TC 30 may be found in the separate
Installation Guide for the remote.

Before using the TC 30, you must install the
rechargeable battery and connect the charging
cradle to its power supply. The battery should
then be charged for at least twelve hours before
using the TC 30.
To allow you to continue with the setup of your
AVR 745 while the TC 30 battery is charging, the
ZR 10 may be used to navigate through the sys-
tem menus. No configuration is required; simply
remove the battery compartment door on the
back of the ZR 10 and install the AAA batteries
supplied with the AVR. Replace the battery cover
and you are ready to go!
