The ‘Basic’ Set-up Menus

1 – General Settings:

Max Volume: This limits the maximum volume setting the system can be turned
up to. This is a useful feature to prevent accidental over-driving of low power-
handling speakers, for example.
Max On Volume: Limits the maximum volume the system operates at when it is
 rst switched on. The system comes on at the ‘Max On Volume’ if the last used
(possibly very loud) volume exceeds this value.
Delay units: Controls whether the delay settings for the speakers in surround
modes are speci ed in Imperial or Metric measurements from the listening
position, or in terms of time. The delay setting itself is set on screen 4 of this
menu, described on page 14.
Note that changing the units resets all distances/times to zero. It is therefore
important to choose the units (Time, Imperial or Metric) before set up.
OSD Mode: Controls how the on-screen display is viewed.
< MIXED: the OSD will appear on top of the existing video picture
< FULL PAGE: the OSD is displayed in white on a full screen black background.
On video signals that have a sync rate of greater than the normal interlaced rate (i.e.,
progressive scan, frame-scaled video, HDTV) the OSD will automatically go into Full Page mode
(black background) so that the control menu can be seen. Any pop-up displays (such as the
volume bar, source selection information, etc.) will be switched off.
Note that no on-screen display is available over the HDMI connection.
Video Status: The video status control is intended for use with SCART connections, but may  nd
use for other purposes. It is possible to use a SCART connection between the AVP700 and your
television even though the AVP700 does not have a SCART socket; a pin-out for a SCART lead
suitable for this purpose is given on page 32. We suggest the ‘SQART’ cables manufactured by
QED (www.qed.co.uk); please ask your dealer for details.
This setting controls the two video triggers fl fm on the rear panel and is used to inform the
AVP700 which type of video connection is present between it and your TV. Note that if you do not
wish to use the video triggers or a SCART connection, then it does not matter which value this
item has. This setting has no effect on the HDMI output.
This item has four settings: COMPOSITE, S-VIDEO, RGB and SCRN CTRL.
Composite: This mode is used to indicate to your TV that composite video is being sent. It uses
the trigger labelled 1/RGB fl (which should be connected to the RGB SCART input on your TV),
as shown. Select this option if you are using the composite video output of the AVP700.
The 2/S-VIDEO trigger is not active in this mode.
S-Video: This mode is used to
indicate to your TV that S-video is
being sent. It uses the trigger labelled
2/S-VIDEO fm, as shown. Select this
option if you are using the S-video
output of the AVP700.
Note that, if this option is selected,
the connection labelled ‘S-video
SCART’ (or similar) must be used on
the TV, as not all SCART connectors
are wired for S-video.
The 1/RGB trigger is not active in this
mode.
RGB: This mode is used to indicate to
your TV that RGB video is being sent.
It uses the trigger labelled 1/RGB, as
shown. Select this option if you are
using the RGB output of the AVP700.
If this option is selected, the
connection labelled ‘RGB SCART’ (or
similar) must be used on the TV, as
not all SCART connectors are wired
for RGB.
The 2/S-VIDEO trigger is not active in
this mode.
SCRN CTRL: The two video triggers
on the rear panel have the same
signal for all outputs. This will be
+12V when any video source is
selected, otherwise 0V. This can be
used (for example) to unfurl projector
screens automatically when a video
source is selected.
