Full-OSD Time-Out Adjustment

The FULL OSD menu system is used to simplify the setup and adjustment of the AVR 230, using a series of on-screen menus. The factory default setting for these menus leaves them on the screen for 20 seconds after a period of inactivity before they disap- pear from the screen (Time-Out). Time-Out is a safety measure to prevent image retention of the menu text in your monitor or projector, which might happen if it were left on indefinitely. However, some viewers may prefer a slightly longer or shorter period before the Time-Out display.

To change the full-OSD Time-Out, you will need to make an adjustment in the ADVANCED SELECT menu (Figure 10). To start the adjust- ment, press the OSD Button v to bring the MASTER MENU to the screen. Press the ¤ Button n, until the on-screen › cursor is next to the ADVANCED line. Press the Set Button p to enter the ADVANCED menu (Figure 10).

At the ADVANCED SELECT menu (Figure

10)make certain that the on-screen › cursor is next to the FULL OSD TIME OUT line by press- ing the ⁄/¤ Buttons n as needed. Next, press the ‹/› Buttons o until the desired time is dis- played in seconds. Unlike most of the other options in this menu, this is a permanent setting change, and the Time-Out entry will remain in effect until it is changed, even if the unit is turned off.

If you wish to make other adjustments, press the

⁄/¤ Buttons n until the on-screen › cursor is next to the desired setting or the RETURN TO MASTER MENU line and press the Set Button p. If you have no other adjustments to make, press the OSD Button v to exit the menu system.
