NOTE: Digital inputs take precedence: The T 744 will automatically play any active signal present at the selected digital input; if none is present,
it will “fall back” to the analog audio input assigned to that Video input. Digital inputs can be selected OFF to listen to the analog input of a source
with an assigned digital input.

SURROUND MODE: Use to select the T 744’s Listening Mode. Press repeatedly to step through the T 744’s Listening Modes. See “About the T 744’s
Listening Modes,” below.

NOTE: Depending on the format of the currently selected input (digital or analog; stereo or multichannel), different modes will be available. See
“About the T 744’s Listening Modes,” below.

13 LEVELS: Press repeatedly to select the channel, and then use the VOLUME(SETUP) knob to adjust the levels of the T 744’s 7 channels /pairs in turn:

front-left, -center, –right; surround; surround back; subwoofer. The selected channel appears on the VFL and on-screen displays; use the
VOLUME(SETUP) knob to adjust its level relative to the others over a range of ±12 dB. Channel levels may also be adjusted via the on-screen menus;
see “Adjusting Channel Levels,” below.

NOTE: The HTR 2 remote’s [Surr.], [Center], and [Sub]

keys provide direct access to those channels’ relative levels, however in this case the

level changes are only temporary and are not saved in memory.

14 TONE DEFEAT: Press to disable the tone controls; press again to re-enable them for instance, to compare a tone setting to unmodified sound.

NOTE: While TONE DEFEAT is engaged, the TONE CONTROLS key will have no effect.

15 TONE CONTROLS: Press to adjust treble using the VOLUME (SETUP) knob over a ±10 dB range; press again to adjust bass, and a third time to exit

tone-control adjustment.

16 SPEAKERS A & B: Press either speaker A or B or both to select the set of speakers you wish to listen to. The Speakers A are the main set of 6 multi-

channel front and surround speakers. The Speaker B are an auxiliary set for remote locations such as other rooms of your home. For Speaker B
selection all surround sound sources are downmixed to stereo as shown in the florescent display.

17 VIDEO 6 INPUT: Use these convenience jacks for occasional sources, such as a camcorder, portable MP3 or tape player, or a video game console,

or any other analog audio, or composite or S-Video video source. Select the Video 6 input using the HTR 2 remote, or the front-panel VIDEO 6 key.

PHONES: Accepts stereo headphone using a standard 1/4-inch stereo phone plug (use a suitable adapter for headphones equipped with a smaller
plug); set the Listening Mode to “Stereo.”

NOTE: For headphone listening the front left/right speakers must be set to “Large” on the OSD’s Speaker Settings page, otherwise headphone bass
response will be restricted.

NOTE: Plugging in headphones will automatically switch the T 744 to “Stereo” mode.
