ADVANCED FEATURES 47

ENGLISH

The AVR 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 addi-

tional options that you may wish to use.

Front-Panel-Display Fade

In normal operation, the front-panel displays and

indicators remain on at full brightness, although

you may also dim them or turn them off as

shown on page 46. 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

to bring the Master

Menu to the screen. Press the

⁄

Navigation Button

so that the ➞ cursor

is pointed to the

ADVANCED line, and press

the Set Button

to enter the ADVANCED

SELECT

menu (Figure 23).

Figure 23

With the ADVANCED SELECT menu on

your video display, press the

⁄

Navigation

Button

so that the ➞ cursor is pointed to

the

VFD FADETIMEOUT line. Next, press

the

‹

›

Navigation Button

so that the

amount of time that you wish the displays to

fade out after a button is pressed is shown.

Once this time is set and the unit returned to

normal operation, the displays will remain on for

the time period selected whenever a button is

pressed on the front panel or remote. After that

time they will gradually fade out, with the excep-

tion of the lighting surrounding the Standby/On

Switch

, which remains on to remind you

that the AVR is turned on. Note that if the dis-

plays have been turned completely off using the

Dim Button, as shown on page 46, the Fade

function will not operate.

If you wish to make adjustments to other items

on the

ADVANCED SELECT menu, press

the

⁄

Navigation Button

to place the

➞ cursor next to the desired item, or place the

➞ cursor next to the

BACK TO MASTER

line and press the Set Button

make an adjustment to another menu. If you

have completed all adjustments, press the OSD

Button

to exit the menu system.

Display Brightness

The AVR’s front panel Main Information

Display

is set at a default brightness level

that is sufficient for viewing in a normally lit

room. However, in some home theater installa-

tions, you may wish to occasionally lower the

brightness 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

to bring the MASTER MENU to

the screen. Press the

⁄

Button

, until the on-

screen ➞ cursor is next to the

ADVANCED

line. Press the Set Button

to enter the

ADVANCED SELECT menu (Figure 23).

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

until the

desired brightness level is highlighted in the

video display. When

FULL is highlighted, the

display is at its normal brightness. When

HALF

is highlighted, the display is at half the normal

brightness level. When

OFF is highlighted, all of

the indicators in the Main Information

Display

will go dark. Note, however, that the

Power Indicator

, will always remain lit to

remind you that the unit is turned on.

If you wish to make other adjustments in the

menu, press the

⁄

Buttons

until the on-

screen ➞ cursor is next to the desired setting or

the

BACK TO MASTER MENUline and

press the Set button

. If you have no other

adjustments to make, press the OSD Button

to exit the menu system.

The display brightness may also be changed by

pressing and holding the Set button

on the

front for three seconds until the message in the

Main Information Display

reads VFD

FULL

. Within five seconds, press the front

panel Selector buttons

until the desired

brightness display level is shown. At that point,

press the Set button

again to enter the

setting.

Once the desired brightness level is selected, it

will remain in effect until it is changed again or

until the unit is turned off.

Turn On Volume Level

As is the case with most audio/video receivers,

when the AVR is turned on, it will always return

to the volume setting in effect when the unit was

turned off. However, you may prefer to always

have the AVR 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

turn-on, you will need to make an adjustment in

the

ADVANCED SELECT menu.To start

the adjustment, press the OSD button

bring the

MASTER MENU (Figure 7) to the

screen. Press the

⁄

button

, until the on-

screen ➞ cursor is next to the

ADVANCED

line. Press the Set button

to enter the

ADVANCED SELECT menu (Figure 23).

At the

ADVANCED SELECT menu make

certain that the on-screen ➞ cursor is next to the

VOLUME DEFAULT line by pressing the

⁄

buttons

as needed. Next, press the ➞

button

so that the word ONis highlighted

in the video display. Next, press the

button

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

or hold them pressed until the desired

volume 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

I. 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

A typical volume level will appear as a negative

number such as -25dB. When making the

adjustment, use the

‹

›

buttons

to enter

this setting.

Unlike some of the other adjustments in this

menu, the turn-on volume default will remain in

effect even when the unit is turned off

completely, unless it is changed or turned off in

this menu.

If you wish to make other adjustments in the

menu, press the

⁄

Buttons

until the on-

screen ➞ cursor is next to the desired setting or

the

BACK TO MASTER MENUline and

press the Set button

. If you have no other

adjustments to make, press the OSD Button

to exit the menu system.
