the Ü/Ý buttons j 29 until the desired vol- ume level is shown on the DEFAULT VOL SET line. Note that this setting may not be made with the regular volume controls.

NOTE: Since the setting for the turn-on volume cannot be heard while the setting is being made, you may wish to determine the setting before making the adjustment. To do this, listen to any source and adjust the volume to the desired level using the regular volume controls

*32 ú. When the desired volume level to be used at turn-on is reached, make a note of the setting as it appears in the lower third of the video screen or in the Main Information Display W. (A typical volume level will appear as a negative number such as –25dB.) When making the adjustment, use the Ü/Ý buttons j 29 to enter this setting.

Unlike some of the other adjustments in this menu, the turn-on volume default will remain in effect until it is changed or turned off in this menu, even when the unit is turned off.

If you wish to make other adjustments, press the Ú/Û buttons g until the on-screen Ý cursor is next to the RETURN TO MAIN MENU line. If you have no other adjustments to make, press the OSD Button s to exit the menu system.

Semi-OSD Settings

The semi-OSD system places one line messages at the lower third of the video display screen whenever the Volume, Input Source, Surround mode or tuner frequency of any of the configu- ration settings are changed. The semi-OSD sys- tem is helpful in that enables you to have feed- back on any control changes or remote com- mands using the video display when it is diffi- cult to view the front-panel displays. However, you may occasionally prefer to turn these dis- plays off for a particular listening session. You may also want to adjust the length of time the displays remain on the screen. Both of those options are possible with the AVR 7000.

To turn off the semi-OSD system, you will need to make an adjustment in the ADVANCED SELECT menu (Figure 8). To start the adjustment, press the OSD button s to bring the main AUDIO SETUP menu to the screen. Press the Û Button g six times, until the on-screen Û cursor is next to the ADVANCED line. Press the Set Button i to enter the ADVANCED SELECT menu.

At the ADVANCED SELECT menu make certain that the on-screen Ý cursor is next to the SEMI OSD DEFAULT line by press- ing the Ú/Û buttons g as needed. Next, press the Ý button 29 so that the word OFF is highlighted in the video display.

Note that this setting is temporary and will remain active only until it is changed or until the AVR 7000 is turned off. Once the unit is turned off, the semi-OSD displays will remain activated, even if they were switched off for the previous listening session.

To change the length of time that the semi-OSD displays remain on the screen, go to the ADVANCED SELECT Menu as outlined earlier, and press the Ú/Û buttons g as needed, until the on-screen Ý cursor is next to the SEMI-OSD TIME OUT line. Next, press the Ü/Ý Buttons j29 until the desired time in seconds is displayed. 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, press the Ú/Û buttons g until the on-screen Ý cursor is next to the RETURN TO MAIN MENU line. If you have no other adjustments to make, press the OSD button s to exit the menu system.

Full-OSD Time Out Adjustment

The FULL-OSD menu system is used to simplify the setup and adjustment of the AVR 7000 using a series of on-screen menus. The factory default setting for these menus leaves them on the screen for 20 seconds after a peri- od of inactivity 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 indefi- nitely. 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 ADVANCED SELECT Menu (Figure 1). To start the adjustment, press the OSD button s to bring the main AUDIO SETUP Menu to the screen. Press the Û button g six times, until the on-screen Û cursor is next to the ADVANCED line. Press the Set Button i

to enter the ADVANCED SELECT Menu (Figure 8).

At the ADVANCED SELECT menu make certain that the on-screen Ý cursor is next to the FULL-OSD TIME OUT line by pressing the Ú/Û Buttons g as needed. Next, press the Ü/Ý buttons j/ 29 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, press the Ú/Û buttons g until the on-screen Ý cursor is next to the RETURN TO MAIN MENU line. If you have no other adjustments to make, press the OSD Button s to exit the menu system.
