If you find these on screen messages distracting or intrusive, you may turn them off simply by moving to the on screen status line of the display preferences menu, pressing enter to toggle to the “change it” cursor ( → ), and turning it off. You may, of course, turn it back on at any time by repeating the process.

The AVP2 can display a wealth of information about the source and nature of the signal being listened to, any signal processing going on, and other details about the operation of the system. (See Using the Special Menu for more details.) How- ever, if you find that this display is more than you need or want, you can turn off individual lines of the display in this submenu.

The information that can be displayed includes:

• source info	the source(s) providing the sound and picture
• signal info	the nature of the incoming signal
• mode info	the surround processing mode being used
• rate info	the bit rate of the incoming audio signal, or
	the output sampling rate of the AVP2’s DACs
• sub info	whether one or more subwoofers is active
• volume info	the current volume setting
• migration info	whether automatic or manual migration is active
• record info	the source selected on the record path

Simply move the cursor to the status preferences line and press enter. Then move the cursor to whichever item you prefer to leave off, press enter, and turn it

on or off with the volume ±	buttons; then press enter again to save your change.
You may, of course, change anything again at a later time by repeating the pro-
cess.	41

Note that a downward-pointing arrow at the bottom line shown on the screen indicates that there is more to the menu below the bottom of what can be dis- played on your screen. You can scroll down to this part of the menu simply by moving the cursor past the last item shown on the list. Once this is done, there will be an upward-pointing arrow to indicate that the first line has now moved off the top of the screen.

This setting controls the duration of these on screen messages generated by the AVP2 when you change something. (Remember that you can disable the on screen display entirely by turning off the on screen status item on the menu.) You can set it for 2, 3, 4, or 5 seconds, according to your preference.

On screen messages are normally displayed with a black fringe around their white letters when superimposed on live video signals. This display method is easy on the eyes and almost always easily read. However, you can opt to have the on screen messages displayed within a black box to ensure legibility even against extremely bright backgrounds, when white letters might otherwise be difficult to read.

The default background color for the screen when lacking a live video signal, or when in the menu system, is blue. This blue screen serves as a reminder that your television is on when in fact you may prefer to turn it off.
