While using XM Radio is similar in many ways to

AM/FM terrestrial radio, the wide range of program

choices available, as well as the ability of the XM serv-

ice to add special data and information tags into the

digital audio data stream, means that some of the

front-panel and remote controls traditionally used for

tuner operation have different functions with XM

Radio.

• When XM Radio is the AVR’s source, the channel

number will appear in the

Upper Display Line

C

,

along with an indication of the Preset number, if any,

and a series of bars at the far right end of the dis-

play. These bars (not shown in the semi-OSD mes-

sage), show the current signal strength similar to the

signal strength displays on a cellular phone.

• The current channel’s name will normally appear in

the

Lower Display Line

D

. For local traffic infor-

mation, the name of a city will be shown in place of

the channel name. You may change this display to

show the current artist and track title information by

pressing the

Tuning Mode Selector

or

the

M-XMDisplay

when you are using the

TC 30’s Tuner pages to operate the AVR. When you

are listening to a channel with local traffic informa-

tion in the “200” series of channel numbers, these

buttons change the display to show the temperature

and current weather for the selected city.

• To tune a channel number directly, simply press the

Numeric Keys

Δ

. Unlike standard AM/FM

tuner operation, it is not necessary to press the

Direct Button first.

• The AVR 745 has five banks of preset memories for

XM Radio, each with eight memory positions and

designated by a letter (“A” through “E”).To store a

channel into a memory group, first press the

OK/Enter Button

E

when using the TC 30

remote control to operate the AVR’s XM Radio func-

tion, or the

• Note that you may see a

LOADING

message,

indicating that the XM tuner is downloading content

and may not be able to operate. If the message

continues to appear, check to see whether the XM

antenna is properly positioned toward a south-facing

window, experiment with the antenna position, or

change to another input and then reselect XM Radio.

Recording

In normal operation, the audio or video source

selected for listening through the AVR 745 is sent to

the record outputs. This means that any program you

are watching or listening to may be recorded simply

by placing machines connected to the outputs for

Tape Outputs

or

Video 1/Video 2 Audio

and

Video Outputs

‡·

in the record mode.

When a digital audio recorder is connected to the

Digital Audio Outputs

k

M

, you are able to

record the digital signal using a CD-R, MiniDisc or

other digital recording system.

NOTES:

• The digital outputs are active only when a digital sig-

nal is present, and they do not convert an analog

input to a digital signal, or change the format of the

digital signal. In addition, the digital recorder must

be compatible with the output signal. For example,

the PCM digital input from a CD player may be

recorded on a CD-R or MiniDisc, but Dolby Digital

or DTS signals may not.

• The

Front-Panel Video 4

N

and

Coaxial 4

M

jacks may be configured for use as outputs, allowing

connection to a recorder, when the steps shown in

the section below are followed.

Front-Panel Connections

In addition to the rear-panel digital and analog outputs,
