Harman-Kardon Harman Kardon AVR 1600 Manual: Initial Setup Guide & OSD Time Settings

INITIAL SETUP

HDMI Audio to TV: Determines whether HDMI audio signals 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. To use the TV by itself, without the home theater system, turn this setting ON. Mute the TV’s speakers when using the AVR for audio.

Semi OSD Time Out: Program the amount of time (2 to 5 seconds) the two-line semi-OSD status messages remain on screen, or deactivate the semi-OSD display altogether if you find it distracting. These messages will continue to appear on the front panel of the receiver.

Full OSD Time Out: Program the amount of time (20, 30, 40 or 50 seconds) the full-OSD menus remain visible on screen. The full-OSD system may not be deactivated.

NOTE: It isn’t possible to view video sources while the full- OSD menus are displayed.

To dim the Message Display, press the Dim Button on the remote. Each button press will cycle through the three settings of:

•VFD Full: Normal brightness

•VFD Half: Display is dimmed but still visible; the light inside the volume knob goes dark

•VFD Off: Display goes completely dark except for Power Indicator to remind you that the receiver is turned on.

When you have finished, press the OSD Button to clear the menus from view.

You are now ready to begin enjoying your new receiver!
