Harman-Kardon AVR 745 - Manual (Page 25)

SYSTEM CONFIGURATION 25
ENGLISH
System Configuration
In addition to the changes to the video process-
ing configuration that are made through the
IN/OUT SETUP menu, you may change the
setting for an input at any time by pressing the
‹ / › Buttons 7$ on the front panel to cycle
through the available choices.
When any needed change to the video process-
ing setting has been made, press the
⁄ / ¤
Navigation Button DF to move to the
next line.
At the A/V SYNC DELAY line, you are able
to enter a setting that delays the audio output
slightly behind the video so that the loss of lip
sync that may occur due to digital video process-
ing in the transmission of a program, in the play-
back unit or in the display is corrected. This lack
of lip sync is not a fault of the sources; rather, it
is a by-product of video signal processing. In
most cases, we recommend that the delay adjust-
ment be made using the direct-access controls
on the remote so that you may more accurately
adjust the delay while viewing the on-screen
image, following the instructions shown on page
36, but you may also make it here using the
menu system. As the amount of delay needed
may vary from one source to another, we strongly
recommend that you adjust it for each input.
To adjust the A/V sync delay time from the
IN/OUT SETUP menu, make certain that
the cursor is pointing to the A/V SYNC
DELAY line, and then press the ‹ / ›
Navigation Button DF until the desired
amount of delay is applied so that the on-screen
video matches the audio.
When all configuration adjustments on this menu
screen have been made, press the
⁄ / ¤
Navigation Button DF until the on-
screen cursor is pointing to PAGE 2 and then
press the OK/Enter Button E on the TC 30
or the Set Button Q on the ZR 10 remote to
move to the second screen of input/output set-
tings. If all settings for input configuration are
complete, press the
⁄ / ¤ Navigation Button
DF until the on-screen cursor is pointing to
MASTER MENU and then press the Set
Button Q on the ZR 10 remote to return to
the main menu screen.
The second page of the IN/OUT SETUP
menu (Figure 3) allows you to further configure
the AVR 745 for special custom features.
Figure 3
The TRIGGER 2 line enables you to choose
whether a trigger voltage signal is sent to the
Trigger 2 Output Jack
k when a specific
input is selected. Unlike the Trigger 1 Output
j, which always has a trigger voltage present
when the AVR 745 is turned on, the default for
the Trigger 2 connection is off. The setting on this
menu line allows you to turn it on for a specific
input so that an input or source-dependent
accessory (such as a motorized projection screen
or blinds) may only be activated when, for exam-
ple, an input which requires a projection screen
or darkened room is selected.
To change the setting, press the ‹ / ›
Navigation Button DF until the desired
setting appears. Press the ⁄ / ¤ Navigation
Button DF to move to the next line when
the setting is correct or if no configuration
changes are required.
An exclusive Harman Kardon feature is the ability
to switch front panel jacks from their normal use
as inputs to output connections so that portable
recording devices may easily be connected. The
front panel analog Video 4 Jacks Ô are nor-
mally set as an input for use with camcorders,
video games and other portable audio/video
products, but they may be switched to an output
for connection to portable audio/video recorders.
To temporarily switch them to outputs, select the
IN/OUT SETUP menu. Press the ¤ button
DF until the on-screen ➞ cursor is pointing
to the
VIDEO 4 line. Press the › button
DF so that the word
OUT is highlighted.
Note that the Input/Output Status Indicator
( between the S and Composite video jacks
will turn red, indicating that the analog Video 4
jacks Ô are now record outputs.
On the AVR, the Coaxial 4 Digital Jack Ó is
normally an input, but it may also be switched to a
digital output for use with CD-R/RW decks, MD re-
corders or other digital audio recorders. To change
the jack to an output, press the
⁄ / ¤ buttons
DF while the
IN/OUT SETUP menu is
on the screen so that the ➞ cursor is next to
COAXIAL 4 . Then press the ‹ / › buttons
DF so that the word
O U T is highlighted.
Note that the Digital Coax 4 Status Indicator
( will turn red, indicating that the jack is now a
record output.
Note: A signal will be sent to this jack only
when the input selected for use by the AVR is
digital. Digital signals will be passed through
regardless of their format, and which digital
input (optical or coax) they are fed from.
However, analog signals are not converted to
digital, and the format of the signal (e.g., PCM,
Dolby Digital or DTS) may not be changed.
Selection of the jacks as an output will remain
effective as long as the AVR is on. However, once
the unit is turned off, the jack will revert to its nor-
mal use as an input when the unit is turned on
again.
The REC OUT line enables you to select what
the audio output is at the analog record outputs
for the input source being configured. Press the
‹ / › Navigation Button DF to choose
one of the following if you wish to change the
default setting:
• ANALOG selects an unprocessed pass-
through of an analog source and is the default
setting for most inputs.
• DSP DOWNMIX selects a two-channel
downmix of a multichannel digital input.
When the adjustment has been made, or if no
adjustment is required and all settings on this
page are complete, press the
⁄ / ¤ Navigation
Button DF until the on-screen cursor is
pointing to PAGE 1 and then press the
OK/Enter Button E on the TC 30 or the Set
Button Q on the ZR 10 remote to return to
the main IN/OUT SETUP menu to config-
ure another input, or if no further input configu-
ration adjustments are needed, press the
⁄ / ¤
Navigation Button DF until the on-
screen cursor is pointing to MASTER MENU
and then press the OK/Enter Button E on
the TC 30 or the Set Button Q on the ZR 10
remote to return to the main menu screen.
