Advanced Features

The AVR is equipped with a number of advanced features that add extra flexibility to the unit’s operation. While it is not necessary to use these features to operate the unit, they provide addi- tional options that you may wish to use.

Front-Panel-Display Fade

In normal operation, the front-panel displays and indicators remain on at full brightness, although you may also dim them or turn them off as shown on page 40. As an additional option, you may also set the AVR so that the displays are on whenever a button is pressed on the front panel or remote, but then fade out after a set period of time.

To set the front-panel displays to the Fade mode, press the OSD Button Lto bring the Master Menu to the screen. Press the ⁄/¤ Navigation Button Eso that the ➞ cursor is pointed to the ADVANCED line, and press the Set Button Fto enter the ADVANCED SELECT menu (Figure 13).

With the ADVANCED SELECT menu on your video display, press the ⁄/¤ Navigation Button Eso that the ➞ cursor is pointed to the VFD FADE TIME OUT line. Next, press the ‹/ › Navigation Button Eso that the amount of time that you wish the displays to fade out after a button is pressed is shown.

Once this time is set and the unit returned to nor- mal operation, the displays will remain on for the time period selected whenever a button is pressed on the front panel or remote. After that time they will gradually fade out, with the exception of the lighting surrounding the Standby/On Switch

3, which remains on to remind you that the AVR is turned on. Note that if the displays have been turned completely off using the Dim Button, as shown on page 40, the Fade function will not operate.

If you wish to make adjustments to other items on the ADVANCED SELECT menu, press the ⁄/¤ Navigation Button Eto place the ➞ cursor next to the desired item, or place the ➞ cursor next to the BACK TO MASTER MENU line and press the Set Button Fto make an adjustment to another menu. If you have completed all adjustments, press the OSD Button Lto exit the menu system.

Display Brightness

The AVR’s front panel Main Information Display ˜ is set at a default brightness level that is sufficient for viewing in a normally lit room. However, in some home theater installa- tions, you may wish to occasionally lower the brightness of the display, or turn it off completely.

To change the display brightness setting for a spe- cific listening session, you will need to make an adjustment in the ADVANCED SELECT menu. To start the adjustment, press the OSD button Lto bring the MASTER MENU to the screen. Press the ⁄ Button E, until the on- screen › cursor is next to the ADVANCED line. Press the Set Button Fto enter the ADVANCED SELECT menu (Figure 13).

To change the brightness setting, at the ADVANCED SELECT menu, make certain that the on-screen › cursor is next to the VFD line, and press the › Button Euntil the desired brightness level is highlighted in the video display. When FULL is highlighted, the display is at its normal brightness. When HALF is highlighted, the display is at half the normal brightness level. When OFF is highlighted, all of the indicators in the Main Information Display ˜ will go dark. Note, however, that the Power Indicator 3, will always remain lit to remind you that the unit is turned on.

If you wish to make other adjustments in the menu, press the ⁄/¤ Buttons Euntil the on- screen › cursor is next to the desired setting or the BACK TO MASTER MENU line and press the Set button F. If you have no other adjustments to make, press the OSD Button L to exit the menu system.

The display brightness may also be changed by pressing and holding the Set button @ on the front for three seconds until the message in the Main Information Display ˜ reads VFD FULL. Within five seconds, press the front panel Selector buttons 7$ until the desired bright- ness display level is shown. At that point, press the Set button @ again to enter the setting.

Once the desired brightness level is selected, it will remain in effect until it is changed again or until the unit is turned off.

Turn On Volume Level

As is the case with most audio/video receivers, when the AVR is turned on, it will always return to the volume setting in effect when the unit was turned off. However, you may prefer to always have the AVR turn on at a specific setting, regard- less of what was last in use when the unit was turned off. To change the default condition so that the same volume level is always used at turn-on, you will need to make an adjustment in the ADVANCED SELECT menu. To start the

adjustment, press the OSD button Lto bring the MASTER MENU (Figure 1) to the screen. Press the ⁄ button E, until the on-screen › cursor is next to the ADVANCED line. Press the Set button Fto enter the ADVANCED SELECT menu (Figure 13).

At the ADVANCED SELECT menu make certain that the on-screen › cursor is next to the VOLUME DEFAULT line by pressing the ⁄/¤ buttons Eas needed. Next, press the › button Eso that the word ON is highlighted in the video display. Next, press the ¤ button E once so that the on-screen › cursor is next to the DEFAULT VOL SET line. To set the desired turn-on volume, press the ‹/ › buttons Eor hold them pressed until the desired volume level is shown on the DEFAULT VOL SET line. Note that this setting may NOT be made with the regular volume controls.

NOTE: Since the setting for the turn-on volume cannot be heard while the setting is being made, you may wish to determine the setting before making the adjustment. To do this, listen to any source and adjust the volume to the desired level using the regular volume controls î. When the desired volume level to be used at turn-on is reached, make a note of the setting as it appears in the lower third of the video screen or in the Main Information Display ˜.

A typical volume level will appear as a negative number such as -25dB. When making the adjustment, use the ‹/› buttons Eto enter this setting.

Unlike some of the other adjustments in this menu, the turn-on volume default will remain in effect even when the unit is turned off completely, unless it is changed or turned off in this menu.

If you wish to make other adjustments in the menu, press the ⁄/¤ Buttons Euntil the on- screen › cursor is next to the desired setting or the BACK TO MASTER MENU line and press the Set button F. If you have no other adjustments to make, press the OSD Button L to exit the menu system.

Semi-OSD Settings

The semi-OSD system places one line messages at the lower third of the video display screen when- ever the Volume, Input Source, Surround mode or tuner frequency of any of the configuration set- tings are changed. The semi-OSD system is helpful in that enables you to have feedback on any con- trol changes or remote commands using the video display when it is difficult to view the front-panel displays. However, you may occasionally prefer to turn these displays off for a particular listening session. You may also want to adjust the length of time the displays remain on the screen. Both of those options are possible with the AVR.
