Full-OSD Time Out Adjustment

The Full-OSD menu system is used to simplify the setup and adjustment of the AVR 225 using a series of on-screen menus. The factory default setting for these menus leaves them on the screen for 20 sec- onds after a period of inactivity before they disappear from the screen or “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 menus were left on indefinitely. However, some view- ers may prefer a slightly longer or shorter period before the display times out.

To change the Full-OSD Time Out, you will need to make an adjustment in the ADVANCED SELECT menu (Figure 9). To start the adjustment, press the OSD Button v to bring the MASTER MENU to the screen. Press the ¤ Button q until the on-screen ¤ cursor is next to the ADVANCED line. Press the Set Button o to enter the ADVANCED SELECT menu (Figure 9).

At the ADVANCED SELECT menu (Figure 9), make certain that the on-screen › cursor is next to the FULL OSD TIME OUT line by pressing the ⁄/¤ Buttons mq as needed. Next, press the ‹/› Buttons n 31 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 if the unit is turned off.

If you wish to make other adjustments, press the

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