Setup Menu Level Five - On-Screen Display Setup Procedures

This setup feature gives you the option of having an on-screen information display for any of the video outputs. You can turn on or off the on-screen display at the Composite Video, S- Video, or Component Video outputs. You can also program the display default system to be for the NTSC or PAL video format. PAL is the video format in most European countries and NTSC is the predominant video format in other regions.

To Assign the On-screen Display for Composite Video, S-Video, and Component Video Outputs:

1.Press and hold the Setup/Trim button on the remote control until SOURCE SETUP appears on the front panel or on-screen display.

2.Press the Setup/Trim button until OSD SETUP and COMPOSITE OSD and YES: appears in the displays.

3.Press the Volume g or h buttons to select YES if you want on-screen display, or NO if you do not want the on-screen display through the composite video outputs.

4.Press the Tune f or e buttons to select S-VIDEO. Repeat step 3

5.Press the Tune f or e buttons to select COMPONENT VIDEO. Repeat step 3

Setup Menu Level Six - DC Trigger Assignment Procedures

You can program the external Main (or 1) and/or the Zone (or 2) +12 V DC Triggers on the rear panel to activate when any of several “events” occur during operation. The variety of triggering events offer virtually unlimited automation options. If you select Polarity Invert, it does not mean that the +/- are reversed at its jack. Instead, Polarity Invert means that the activation rule is reversed. This means that trigger output is normally active and it only turns off when the event is selected. For example, you could set the DC trigger to turn on the lights in your home theater whenever you turn the AVC-2500 off by changing the polarity for the POWER event from NORM to INV. You can also set the delay time of either trigger from no delay (0 s) to a maximum delay of ninety seconds (90 s).

To Program DC Trigger Outputs in Response to a Preset Event

1.Press and hold the Setup/Trim button on the remote control until SOURCE SETUP appears on the front panel or on-screen display.

2.Press the Setup/Trim button until DC TRIGGER, MAIN SOURCE and POWER: appear in the displays.

3.Press the Volume g or h buttons to select the event to activate the DC trigger. See event choices below.

4.Press the Tune f or e buttons until MAIN POLARITY: NORM appears in the displays.

5.Press the Volume g or h buttons to select NORM OR INV POLARITY.

6.Press the Tune e button to select MAIN DELAY: 2 S.
