Full-OSD Time-Out Adjustment

The FULL OSD menu system is used to simplify the setup and adjustment of the DPR 1005 by 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 inactivity before they disap- pear from the screen (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 it were left on indefinitely. However, some viewers may prefer a slightly longer or shorter period before the on-screen display disappears.

To change the full-OSD Time-Out, you will need to make an adjustment in the ADVANCED SELECT menu (Figure 16). To start the adjust-

ment, press the OSD Button to bring the MASTER MENU to the screen. Press the ¤

Navigation Button o, until the on-screen cursor is next to the ADVANCED line. Press the Set Button q to enter the ADVANCED SELECT menu (Figure 16).

At the ADVANCED SELECT menu (Fig. 16) make certain that the on-screen cursor is next to the FULL OSD TIME OUT line by pressing the /¤ Navigation Button o as needed. Next, press the /Navigation Button o until the desired time is displayed in seconds. 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 /¤ Navigation Button o until the on-screen

cursor is next to the desired setting or the BACK TO MASTER MENU line and press the Set Button q. If you have no other adjust-

ments to make, press the OSD Button

to exit

the menu system.
