Multiroom Operation

When operating the AVR 745 from a remote room

location where an IR sensor link has been connected

to the AVR 745’s rear-panel

Multiroom IR Input

Ê

or via an A-BUS module, you may use either the

TC 30 or the ZR 10 remote.

With the remote pointing toward an IR sensor or A-BUS

module in the remote room, you may turn on the sec-

ond zone system by pressing the

AVR Selector

Button

ç

on the ZR 10 remote to turn the system

on with the last used source for the multiroom system

active, or you may press one of the

Input Selectors

∂

or the

Tuner Selector

é

, the

XM Radio

Selector

ƒ

or

Selector

®

to turn

the multiroom system on directly to a specific source.

To turn the multiroom system on using the TC 30

remote, press the

Devices Button

4

on the TC 30

remote and then press the

Screen Button

6

next

to

AVReceiver

. When the choices on the

LCD Screen

7

change, press the

Page Left/Right

Buttons

8

once and then press the

Screen

Button

6

next to

Multi-Room

.

When the multiroom system is turned on, you may

use the same buttons on either remote that would

normally be used to control an AVR function such as

volume, source selection, tuner control or the opera-

tion of an iPod docked to The Bridge. If any of the

input devices are connected to the

IR Output

½

or


¼

, by either a hard-wire con-

nection or through an optional IR “blaster,” you may

use the

Transport Controls

π

on the ZR 10 to

operate compatible Harman Kardon products or the

appropriate controls that have been programmed for

any source device into the TC 30.

To turn the system off from the remote room, press

the

Power Off Button

å

on the ZR 10. Remember

that the AVR 745 may be turned on or off from the

remote room, regardless of the system’s operation or

status in the main room.

NOTE:

When the tuner is selected as the source for

the remote zone, any change to the frequency or pre-

set will also change the station being listened to in the

main room, if the tuner is in use there. Similarly, if

someone in the main room changes the station, the

change will also have an impact on the remote room.

To turn the multiroom system on from the room where

the AVR 745 is located, press the

Devices Button

4

on the TC 30 remote and then press the

Screen

Button

6

next to

AVReceiver

. When the

choices on the

LCD Screen

7

change, press the

Page Left/Right Buttons

8

once and then press

the

Screen Button

6

next to

Multi-

Room

. If the AVR is in the Standby mode (not

turned “on”), the multiroom system will automatically

be turned on. If the AVR is on, a

MULTI-ROOM

ON/OFF

message will appear in the

Lower

Display Line

D

. Press the

OK/Enter Button

E

and then press the

to turn the system on.

To turn the multi-room system off from the room

where the AVR 745 is located, press the

next to

AVReceiver

.

When the choices on the

LCD Screen

change,

press the

to turn the system off.

NOTE:

The multiroom system will remain on even

when the AVR is turned off in the main listening room

where it is located. When the AVR 745’s multiroom

system is turned on, but the unit is in the Standby

mode (turned “off”) in the room where the AVR 745

is located, the light surrounding the front-panel

Standby/On Switch

±

will remain blue, rather than

amber, and a

MULTI-ROOMON

message

will be shown in the

Lower Display Line

D

.

When the Multiroom system is turned on, the input

selected using the Multiroom menu will be fed to the

Multiroom Audio/Video Outputs

¹Æ

on the rear

panel as well as the

A-BUS Connector

¢

. The vol-

ume will be as set in the previous selection, although it

may also be adjusted using an optional IR sensor and

the ZR 10 remote in the remote location, or the A-BUS

keypad, or on the optional audio power amplifier con-

nected to the

Multiroom Audio Outputs

¹

.

Although changes to the input source or remote room

volume will normally be made using an IR sensor in

the remote room that is connected to the AVR, it is

also possible to change those settings from the main

listening room. This is useful for situations where some

or all of the remote rooms do not have an IR sensor,

or to take control over the remote room without

actually being in that room.

In addition to using the

MULTI-ROOM

menu,

as shown on the previous page, you may change the

source or volume in the remote zone using the

remote. Using the TC 30 remote, press the

Devices

Button

to change the

volume setting. Note that this volume adjustment con-

trols the level for the output to the

Multiroom Audio

Outputs

and for any speakers connected to the

Surround Back/Multiroom Speaker Outputs

‚

when the Surround Back amplifier channels are con-

figured for Multiroom use, as shown on page 57. This

adjustment does NOT change the volume level for any

room where an A-BUS module is used, as that setting

is only adjustable using the A-BUS module’s volume

control or a remote pointed at the A-BUS module’s

built-in sensor.
