Multiroom Operation
Remember that once this setting is made you will
not be able to take advantage of any of the
6.1/7.1- channel decoding or processing modes,
and no Surround Back speakers must be selected
in the speaker setup procedure outlined earlier. In
addition the speakers used for the remote zone
must be connected to the Surround Back/
Multiroom Speaker Outputs
c
.The volume
for these speakers is set by the multiroom sys-
tem, as explained on page 55 of this manual.
Infrared Output Selection
The AVR 745 enables you to select which IR
input will be used to feed the Full Carrier IR
Output
g
.The factory default setting is the IR
signal that is fed to the Multiroom IR Input
O
, but you may select other options.
To change this setting, first make sure the
MULTI-ROOMSETUP menu is on the
screen, and then press the

Multiroom Operation
When operating the AVR from a remote room
location where an IR sensor link has been con-
nected to the AVR’s rear panel Multiroom IR
Input
O
, you may use either the Main remote
control or the ZR 10 remote buttons
BCD. Press the AVR Selector B to
turn the unit on to the last source, or any of the
other Selector buttons to turn on to a specific
source.
With the remote pointing toward an IR sensor or
A-Bus module in the remote room, you may turn
on the second zone system by pressing the AVR
Selector Button B 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 D or the Tuner
Selector C 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 AV
RECEIVER
.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 operation of an iPod docked to The
Bridge. If any of the input devices are connected
to the IR Output
M
or Full Carrier IR Output
g
, by either a hard-wire connection or through
an optional IR “blaster,” you may use the
Transport Controls P on the ZR 10 to
operate compatible Harman Kardon products or
the appropriate controls that have been pro-
grammed for any source device into the TC 30.
To turn the system off from the remote room,
press the Power-Off button A on the ZR 10.
Remember that the AVR 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 preset will also change the station being lis-
tened 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 impact
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

AVR is in the Standby mode (not turned “on”),
the multiroom system will automatically be
turned on. If the AVR is on, a

jacks
7l
on the rear panel as well as the
A-BUS Jack

.
The volume will be as set in the same menu,
although it may also be adjusted using an option-
al IR sensor and the Zone II remote in the remote
location or on the optional audio power amplifier
connected to the Multiroom Output jacks
7
.
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 set-
tings 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 con-
trol 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.
