Advanced Features

General AVR Settings

Volume Units: Select whether volume is displayed in the conventional decibel scale or on a numeric scale from 0 to 100. When the decibel scale is used, 0dB is the maximum volume, with lower volumes measured as negative values.

Volume Default and Volume Default Level: These two settings are used together to program a volume level the AVR will always switch to when turned on. This feature avoids discomfort for listeners in case the last user turned the volume very high.

Turn Volume Default on, and then set the Volume Default Level to the desired turn-on volume.

Unit of Measure: This setting only affects the speaker-distance settings when performing Manual Speaker Setup. Select between meters and feet.

Language: Select the preferred language for the AVR’s on-screen menus

and displays: English, French, Spanish, German, Italian or Russian.

HDMI Audio to TV: This setting determines whether audio signals received through any of the HDMI Inputs are passed through the HDMI Output to the video display. In normal operation, leave this setting Off, as audio will be played through the AVR rather than the video display’s built-in speakers. However, sometimes you may wish to use the TV by itself, without using the complete home theater system. For those occasions change this setting to On. You may always mute the TV’s speakers when using the AVR for audio.

Resolution to Display: Select the highest resolution that your TV can show. If you use HDMI, resolution selection happens automatically. If you use analog signals, you must choose the proper resolution. Note: if you choose a resolution that is higher than your screen can show, the picture disappears. In this case, wait for approx. 10 seconds, as the AVR returns to the previous resolution if the new one is not confirmed within this time. Default resolution is 576i, which is the maximum that can be transmitted by the simplest video connection, Composite/CVBS.

Menu Appearance

Menu Transparency: This setting allows you to select whether video programs will be visible when the menu system is in use. Select Normal for a fully-transparent background, Medium for the menu background to be partially visible or Opaque to block the view of any video programs while the menus are on screen.

Volume Status Messages: When the AVR is turned on, the volume is adjusted or the source is changed, or if a change in the input signal is detected, a status message will be displayed on screen. Use this setting to select how long the message remains visible. The setting varies from 2 to 10 seconds, with a default of 3 seconds.

Menus: Some menu settings only remain in effect during the current listening session, including the settings in the Surround Modes, Video Modes and Audio Effects menus. This setting governs how long these menus will remain visible after your last adjustment, varying from 5 seconds to 5 minutes, or no time-out (the menu does not disappear until you close it), with a default of 5 seconds.

Setup and Slide-In Menus: This setting determines how long the setup menus (Main Menu, Speaker Setup Menu, Zone 2 Menu, all slide-in menus) remain visible after your last adjustment. Select a timeout period of 5, 10 or 15 (the default) minutes, or no timeout, which leaves the menus on screen until you manually clear them. We recommend setting some timeout period to avoid the possibility of burn-in damage to plasma or CRT displays.

Screen Saver: Use this setting to program a timeout period for no activity (with no menus displayed) before the AVR’s built-in screen saver begins. Select a period of 5 (the default), 10 or 20 minutes, or turn off the screen saver. We recommend setting some timeout period to avoid the possibility of burn-in damage to plasma or CRT displays.
