to the next configuration line.
The
DEFAULTSURRmode line is where you
choose the mode that is activated when a digital
source is selected.The factory default setting of
LASTwill activate the last-used mode for any
digital source. If you prefer to always have a digi-
tal source switch to the specific mode encoded
by digital data flags in the incoming audio data
stream, press the

Before proceeding to the
SURROUND
CONFIG
line, it is worth noting that the set-
tings in the submenus attached to that line may
require a considerable amount of time to com-
plete. Although they are useful in that they allow
you to customize the list of surround modes that
appear in normal use of the AVR, you may wish
to bypass those settings at this time so that you
may complete the configuration process.You may
return to this menu line at a later time, once you
have had a chance to listen to the various sur-
round modes and determine which you want to
“keep” and which you do not want to use.The
settings in this line are not primary controls and
do not impact the way the AVR “sounds.”
To proceed to the
SURROUNDCONFIG
line, press the

F to move to that line; otherwise, press it
again to move to the
DOLBYSURR

that setting.
The
SURROUNDCONFIG line is your gate-
way to a broad range of surround mode configu-
rations.To continue, press the OK/Enter Button
E
on the TC 30 or the Set Button Q on the
ZR 10 remote to go to the main
SURROUND
CONFIG
menu (Figure 9).

The LOGIC 7 GLOBALline is the only item
on this menu page that is menu-specific, and it
allows you to select whether or not Logic 7 will
be the default surround mode for any incoming
audio signal.The default setting is
OFF, which
chooses the native mode. Press the

F so that ON
appears, to activate the global Logic 7 setting for
this input.
The remaining five items in this menu are global
settings that take you to a submenu listing the
individual surround modes available within the
selected mode group. To select a surround mode
list, press the

• When a mode is
ON, the mode will appear in
all menu selections whenever you are changing
the surround mode.
• When a mode is
OFF, the mode will not
appear.
• Some modes, such as Dolby Digital, DTS and
the Stereo mode in the PCM menus, are not
defeatable.
A complete list of the AVR 745’s surround modes
may be found on page 42, but here are some
items that will help you decide which modes you
want included in your setup, and which modes
you may wish to turn off.
• The
DOLBYMULTCONFIG group con-
tains the surround modes available when a
multichannel Dolby Digital, encoded source is
present.This includes both the native Dolby
Discrete mode, which cannot be turned off, as
well as other modes which may be applied as
post-processing on the source and system
speaker configuration.
• The
DOLBY2.0CONFIGgroup con-
tains the surround modes available when a
two-channel Dolby Digital-encoded source is
present.This includes both the native Dolby
Discrete mode, which cannot be turned off, as
well as other modes which may be applied as
post-processing on the source and system
speaker configuration.
• The
DTSCONFIGgroup contains the sur-
round modes available when a DTS-encoded
digital source is present.This includes both the
native DTS Discrete mode, which cannot be
turned off, as well as other modes which may
be applied as post-processing on the source
and system speaker configuration.
• The
PCM44.1/48KHZCONFIG
group contains the surround modes available
when a PCM digital data stream is present.
This includes not only PCM sources from DVD
or CD players, but also all two-channel analog
sources that are in use, as they are converted
to PCM within the AVR 745.The modes avail-
able include the proprietary Dolby modes
(including Dolby Headphone and Dolby Virtual
Speaker), DTS processing, our own Logic 7
modes, the conventional “DSP” modes (such
as “Hall” and “Theater”) and the “Stereo”
modes.
• The
PCM96KHZCONFIGgroup con-
tains the surround modes available when a
PCM digital data stream is present.This
includes not only 96kHz PCM sources from
DVD or CD players, but also all two-channel
analog sources when 96kHz is chosen in the
ADCSAMPLINGmode line in the SUR-
ROUNDSETUP
menu.The modes available
include the proprietary Dolby mode (including
Dolby Headphone and Dolby Virtual Speaker),
DTS processing, our own Logic 7 modes, the
conventional “DSP” modes (such as “Hall” and
“Theater”) and the “Stereo” modes.
When all surround modes that are not required
have been turned off, press the

Navigation Button
D
F until the on-
screen cursor is pointing to
BACKTOSUR-
ROUNDCONFIG
; then press the OK/Enter
Button
E
on the TC 30 or the Set Button
Q on the ZR 10 remote.
Note: When a Dolby Digital or DTS source is
selected and playing, the AVR will select the
appropriate surround mode automatically, no mat-
ter which surround mode was selected for that
input as default.Then no other surround modes
will be available, except all Pro Logic II modes with
Dolby Digital 2 channel (2.0) recordings.
On the
Dolbymenu (Figure 10), the selection
choices include Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic II
and IIx Music, Dolby Pro Logic II and IIx Cinema,
Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Virtual Speaker Reference
and Wide, and Dolby 3 Stereo.A complete expla-
nation of these modes is found on Page 42.
The Dolby Digital EX mode is only available when
the system is set for 6.1/7.1 operation by config-
uring the Surround Back speakers to “Small” or
“Large” as described on page 36.When a disc is
playing that contains a special “flag” signal in
the digital audio data stream, the EX mode will
be selected automatically. It may also be selected
using this menu or through the front panel or
remote controls. A complete explanation of these
modes is found on page 42.
