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.

To change a setting from its factory default, you will use the ADVANCED SELECT menu. First press the TC 30's Device Button 4, then press the Screen Button 6 next to AV RECEIVER in the display and then press the Menu Button A. With the ZR 10 remote, press the OSD Button E to call up the MAIN MENU (Figure 1). Next, press the ⁄/¤ Navigation Buttons DF so that the cursor is next to ADVANCED; then press the OK/Enter Button E on the TC 30 or the Set Button Q on the ZR 10. When the ADVANCED SELECT menu (Figure 31) appears, follow the instructions shown below to make any needed configuration adjustments.

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 51. 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.

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

Once this time is set and the unit returned to normal 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 excep- tion 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 dis- plays have been turned completely off using the Dim Button, as shown on page 51, the Fade function will not operate.

If you wish to make adjustments to other items on the ADVANCED SELECT menu, press the ⁄/¤ Navigation Button DF to place the ➞ cursor next to the desired item, or place the ➞ cursor next to the BACK TO MASTER MENU line and press the OK/Enter Button E on the TC 30 or the Set Button

Qon the ZR 10 to make an adjustment to another menu. If you have completed all adjust- ments, press the Menu Button A or the OSD Button E to 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 brightness setting, at the ADVANCED SELECT menu, make certain that the on-screen ➞ cursor is next to the VFD line, and press the › Button DF until 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 DF until the on-screen ➞ cursor is next to the desired setting or the BACK TO MASTER MENU line and press the OK/Enter Button E on the TC 30 or the Set Button Q on the ZR 10. If you have no other adjustments to make, press the Menu Button A or the OSD Button E to exit the menu system.

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, regardless 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.

At the ADVANCED SELECT menu make certain that the on-screen ➞ cursor is next to the VOLUME DEFAULT line by pressing the ⁄/¤ buttons DF as needed. Next, press the

➞button DF so that the word ON is high- lighted in the video display. Next, press the ¤ button DF 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 DF or hold them pressed until the desired volume level is shown on the DEFAULT VOL SET line. Note that this set- ting 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 I. 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 DF to 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 comple- tely, unless it is changed or turned off in this menu.
