On Screen Menus

In addition to the information shown on the front panel display, it is also possible to obtain the unit’s current status through the use of on screen video messages. The on screen menus may also be used to control many aspects of the receiver and to make adjustments and selections.

To activate the On Screen display system, press the SCREEN DISPLAY s button on the remote. This will cause a status summary display to be shown on the screen for five seconds. (Figure #5). Once the video displays are enabled, this status screen will also appear when the unit is turned on.

NOTE: In order to view the on screen menu displays the receiver´s “S” Video jack TV Moni T must be connected to the standard, composite video input of a TV monitor or projector. The on screen displays are NOT visible via the “S” video output U.

The status screen displays the following information:

AUDIO SOURCE: This is the input currently selected for audio.

VIDEO SOURCE: This is the input currently selected for video.

TAPE1 OUT: This is the source currently routed to the Tape 1 audio output for recording.

VCR1 OUT: This is the source currently routed to the VCR 1 video output for recording.

MODE: This is the currently selected audio/surround mode.

MULTIROOM: This is the source currently selected for listening in remote room locations.

MASTER VOLUME: This is the current volume level. Note that volume appears as a horizontal scale. The “0dB” reference level is indicated by a solid block ê, if volume catches or exeeds it while volume levels below the current level are indicated by double vertical bars ±.

Function Displays and Messages Once the On Screen Displays have been activated, they appear when certain functions are performed from the front panel buttons or the remote control. These messages are three line displays with the current function shown on the top line and information about the selection or choice on the bottom two lines.

The following function/operation display screens are available:

Surround Mode and Delay

When the surround mode is changed or the delay timing is adjusted, this message will appear at the bottom of the video screen. The top line is the surround mode, the bottom line is the delay time for that mode. (Figure #6) Note that delay time will not be displayed in the MONAURAL, STEREOor DOLBY 3 STEREOmodes, as these modes do not have rear channel information.
