ADVANCED FEATURES

The AVR 135 is equipped with a number of advanced

features that add extra flexibility to the unit’s operation.

While it is not necessary to use these features to

operate the unit,

they provide additional options that

you may wish to use

Figure 10

Front-Panel-Display Fade

In normal operation, the front-panel displays and indi-

cators remain on at full brightness, although you may

also dim them or turn them off as shown in the next

section. As an additional option, you may also set the

AVR so that the displays are on whenever a button is

pressed on the front panel or remote, but then fade

out after a set period of time.

To set the front-panel displays to the Fade mode,

press the

OSD Button v to bring the Master

Menu (Figure 1) to the screen. Press the

⁄

Navigation Buttons n so that the

›

cursor is

pointed to the

ADVANCED line, and press the

Set Button q to enter the ADVANCED

SELECT

menu (Figure 10).

With the

ADVANCED SELECT menu on

your video display, press the

⁄

Navigation

Buttons

n so that the

›

cursor is pointing to the

VFD

FADE

TIME

OUT

line

Next,

press the

‹

›

Navigation Buttons o so that the amount

of time that you wish the displays to fade out after

a button is pressed is shown. Select

OFF if you do

not wish to have the front-panel displays fade out.

Once this time is set and the unit returned to normal

operation, the displays will remain on for the time peri-

od selected whenever a button is pressed on the front

panel or remote. After that time they will gradually fade

out,

with the exception of the

wer Indica

tor

which will remain on to remind you that the AVR is

turned on. Note that if the displays have been turned

completely off using the Dim Button,

as shown in the

next section, the Fade function will not operate.

If you wish to make adjustments to other items on

the

ADVANCED SELECT menu, press the

⁄

Navigation Buttons n to place the

›

cur-

sor next to the desired item,

or place the

›

cursor

next to the

BACK

MASTER

line

and press the

Set Button p to make an adjust-

ment to another menu. If you have completed all

adjustments, press the

OSD Button v to exit the

menu system.

Display Brightness

The AVR 135’s front-panel display is set at a default

brightness level that is sufficient for viewing in a nor-

mally lit room.

However, in some home theater instal-

lations, you may wish to occasionally lower the bright-

ness of the display, or turn it off completely. To change

the display brightness setting for a specific listening

session, you will need to make an adjustment in the

ADVANCED

SELECT

menu.

To start the

adjustment,

press the

OSD

Button

v to bring the

MASTER MENU to the screen. Press the

Button n until the on-screen

›

cursor is next to

the

ADVANCED line

. Press the

Set

Button

to enter the

ADVANCED SELECT

(Figure 10).

To change the brightness setting, at the ADVANCED

SELECT menu, make certain that the on-screen

›

cursor is next to the VFD line, and press the

›

Button o until the desired brightness level is shown

in the video display. When

FULL appears, the dis-

play is at normal brightness. When

HALF is shown,

the display is at half the normal brightness level. When

OFF is shown, all of the front-panel indicators will go

dark. However, the

Power Indicator 3 will always

remain lit to remind you that the unit is turned on.

Once the desired brightness level is selected, it will

remain in effect until it is changed again or until the

unit is turned off.

If you wish to make other adjustments, press the

⁄

Buttons n until the on-screen

›

cursor is

next to the desired setting or the

BACK

MASTER

line and press the Set Button

p. If you have no other adjustments to make, press

the

OSD Button v to exit the menu system.

Turn-On Volume Level

As is the case with most audio/video receivers, when

the AVR 135 is turned on, it will always return to the

volume setting in effect when the unit was tur

ned off.

However

, you may prefer to always have the AVR 135

turn on at a specific setting, regardless of what was

last in use when the unit was turned off. To change the

default condition so that the same volume level is

always used at tur

n-on, you will need to make an

adjustment in the

ADVANCED SELECT

menu. To start the adjustment, press the OSD Button

v to bring the MASTER MENU (Figure 1)

to the screen.

Press the

Button n,

until the on-

screen

›

cursor is next to the ADVANCED line.

Press the Set Button p to enter the ADVANCED

SELECT

menu (Figure 10).

At the ADVANCED SELECT menu make

certain that the on-screen

›

cursor is next to the

VOLUME DEFAULT line by pressing the

⁄

Buttons n as needed.

Next, press the

›

Button o so that the word ON is shown in

the video display. Next, press the

Button n

once so that the on-screen

›

cursor is next to the

DEFAULT VOL SET line. To set the desired

turn-on volume, press the

‹

›

Buttons o until the

desired volume level is shown on the

DEFAULT

VOL SET

line. This setting may NOT be made

with the regular volume controls.

NOTE: Since the setting for the turn-on volume can-

not 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 Ù . 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

Lower Display Line ¯.

(A typical volume level will appear as a negative num-

ber such as –25dB.) When making the adjustment,

use the

‹

›

Buttons o 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 tur

ned off

If you wish to make other adjustments, press the

⁄

Buttons n until the on-screen

›

cursor

is next to the desired setting or the

BACK TO

MASTER MENU

line and press the Set Button

If you have no other adjustments to make

, press

the

OSD Button v to exit the menu system.
