System Setup
Full-OSD Time Out Adjustment
The FULL OSD menu system is used to simplify the setup and adjustment of the AVR 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 inac- tivity before they disappear from the screen or Time Out. This Time Out is a safety measure to prevent the menu text from burning into the CRTs in your monitor or projector, which might happen if they 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 SYSTEM SETUP menu (Figure 13). To start the adjust- ment, press the OSD button L to bring the MASTER MENU to the screen. Press the
⁄button D, until the on-screen ➞ cursor is next to the SYSTEM SETUP line. Press the Set Button F to enter the SYSTEM SETUP menu (Figure 13).
At the SYSTEM SETUP menu make certain that the on-screen ➞ cursor is next to the FULL OSD TIME OUT line by pressing the ⁄/¤ Buttons D as needed. Next, press the
‹/ › buttons E until the desired time is displayed in seconds. Note that 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 when the unit is turned off.
If you wish to make other adjustments in the menu, press the ⁄/¤ Buttons D until the on-screen ➞ cursor is next to the desired setting or the BACK TO MASTER MENU line and press the Set button F. If you have no other adjustments to make, press the OSD Button L to exit the menu system.
Default Surround Mode
In normal operation, when the AVR senses a Dolby Digital or DTS digital audio data stream, it will automatically switch the appropriate default surround mode, with the AVR responding to the data flags that are encoded on the DVD disc or in the digital video broadcast. In most cases, this is the correct mode, but you may have a particular preference for the mode you wish to hear when Dolby Digital or DTS is present. The AVR allows you to set the unit so that it will either respond to the default or switch to your desired mode.
If you wish to leave the default so that the mode choice encoded in the disc is always used, no further action is needed. Simply leave the setting at the factory default of ON.
To set the unit so that it responds to the last sur- round mode used when a Dolby Digital or DTS source is playing, press the ⁄/¤ Buttons D so that the ➞ cursor is pointing to the DEFAULT SURR MODE line. Press the ‹ / › Buttons E so that OFF appears, and the setting will change. The unit will now use the last mode, not the disc’s default for the two digitally encoded data streams.
This setting does not apply to standard PCM digital inputs or to analog sources. In those cases, the unit will always apply the surround or processing mode that was last used for that input.
If you wish to make other adjustments, press the ⁄/¤ Buttons D until the on-screen➞ cursor is next to the desired setting or the RETURN TO MASTER MENU line and press the Set Button F. If you have no other adjustments to make, press the OSD Button L to exit the menu system.
Full-OSD Background Color
When the full-OSD menu system is in use, the default display appears with a solid blue back- ground with white characters. If you wish, you may select a solid black background as the default. This setting may be changed by pressing the OSD Button L to display the MASTER MENU. Use the ⁄/¤ Buttons D to scroll down to the SYSTEM SETUP line, and press the Set Button F to select the SYSTEM SETUP submenu. Press the ⁄/¤ Buttons D again to scroll to the OSD BACKGROUND line. When BLUE appears, the full-OSD menus will appear on screen with a solid blue background. Press the ‹/› Buttons
Euntil BLACK appears to display the full-OSD menus on a solid black background instead.
This setting will be retained even when the AVR 147 is turned off to the Standby mode.
If you wish to make other adjustments, press the ⁄/¤ Buttons D until the on-screen➝ cursor is next to the desired setting or the BACK TO MASTER MENU line and press the Set Button F. If you have no other adjustments to make, press the OSD Button
Lto exit the menu system.
