OSD Menu Settings

The OSD (On-Screen Display) menu is a setting menu that is displayed on the monitor TV and allows you to perform the setup procedures easily. In most situations, you will only need to set this once during the installation and layout of your home theater, and it rarely needs to be changed later.

The OSD menu consists of 6 main menus ; system setup, speaker/room EQ setup, input setup, multi room setup, sound parameter and advanced video . These menus are then divided up into various sub-menus.

Notes:

The OSD menu and the momentary OSD can be displayed via the HDMI MONITOR OUT only.

However, when the Video Scaling is set to HDMI Bypass and the video signals are input into the HDMI IN, the momentary OSD cannot be displayed via the HDMI MONITOR OUT. (For details, refer to “When selecting the Video Scaling” on page 57.)

When performing the OSD menu operation, the corresponding operation status is displayed on the unit’s fluorescent display, too. Therefore, in such a case that the OSD menu cannot be displayed on your TV, perform the setup procedure, viewing the corresponding operation status on the fluorescent display. (For details on setup menu, refer to “Setup menu flow” on page 42.)

Navigating through the OSD menu
