Operating the On Screen Menus with the Remote

Operating the On Screen Menus from the Front Panel

System Setup & Calibration

The PAV uses on screen menus to make the initial setup of this sophisticated control center as simple as possible. In addition, there are a few on screen menus which can be used occasionally, if you change your preferences as to how the system should operate.

There are five keys on the remote control which are used to “navigate” through the on screen menu system.

•menu: when no on screen menu is displayed, pressing this button will bring up the main menu. Once within the menu hierarchy, pressing menu will exit the level you are currently on without making any per- manent changes, returning you to the next-higher level (much like “Can- cel” on a computer). When at the top level, or main menu, the menu button will take you out of the on screen menu system.

•master: conveniently placed adjacent to the volume +/– buttons, the master button serves the “select” function when in the on screen menus. Pressing the master button will move the cursor indicating the currently- selected menu item on to the next item in the list. At the end of a list, master will move you back to the first item on the list.

•volume + and volume –: once a menu item has been selected by the master button, pressing either of these buttons will act upon that menu item. These actions will either increment a setting up or down directly, or take you to the next level of the menu structure so that further action can be taken.

•enter: any changes made to the settings within the on screen menu sys- tem must be explicitly entered in order to be saved for future use. This extra step minimizes the chance of unintended changes being made by those who are casually exploring the menu system. If a change is made and not entered, the PAV will display last chance to saved changed items on screen. Press enter to save your change, or menu to exit with- out saving any changes.

All of the above functions can also be accessed from the front panel of the PAV (especially helpful if the remote control is not available).

•recall: the menu function is provided by the recall button. In order to activate the on screen menus rather than simply recalling the reference level settings, press and hold the recall button until the front panel lights are turned off (about five seconds). From this point on until you exit the menu system, the recall button will perform exactly as the menu button on the remote control would.

•master: the front panel master button is also conveniently placed adja- cent to the volume +/– buttons, and serves the same purpose as the one on the remote control.

•volume +/–: the front panel volume +/– buttons also operate in the same fashion as their counterparts on the remote control.

•standby: the enter function is provided by the standby button on the front panel (when the PAV is in menu mode). It is deliberately set apart from all of the other menu-related buttons to make permanent changes of system parameters a deliberate act.
