ADVANCED FEATURES

The AVR 7300 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 fea-

tures to operate the unit, they provide additional

options that you may wish to use.

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 on page 41.

As an additional option, you may also set the AVR so

that the displays appear 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 U to bring the Master

Menu to the screen. Press the

⁄

Navigation

Button o so that the ➔ cursor is pointed to the

ADVANCED line, and press the Set Button q

to enter the ADVANCED SELECT menu

(Figure 19).

Figure 19

With the ADVANCED SELECT menu on

your video display, press the

⁄

Navigation

Button o so that the ➔ cursor is pointed to the

VFD FADE TIME OUT line. Next, press the

‹

›

Navigation Button o 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 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 thelighting around the

Standby/On Button 1, which remains on to remind

you that the AVR is turned on.

If you wish to make adjustments to other items on

the ADVANCED SELECT menu, press the

⁄

Navigation Button o to place the ➔ cur-

sor next to the desired item, or place the ➔ cursor

next to the BACK TO MASTER MENU line

and press the Set Button q to make an adjust-

ment to another menu. If you have completed all

adjustments, press the OSD Button U to exit the

menu system.

Display Brightness

The AVR 7300’s front-panel displays and indicators

are set at a default brightness level that is sufficient for

viewing in a normally lit room. However, 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, use the Dim function as shown on

page 41 in the Operation Section of this manual,

or make an adjustment in the ADVANCED

SELECT menu. To start the adjustment, press the

OSD Button U 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

(Figure 19).

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

›

Navigation Button o until the

desired brightness level is shown in the video display.

When FULL is shown, the display is at its normal

brightness. When HALF is highlighted, the display is

at half the normal brightness level, but the blue lighting

inside the Volume Control # will go out. When

OFF is shown, all of the front-panel indicators

will go dark.

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

⁄

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 adjustments to

make, press the OSD Button U to exit the

menu system.

Turn-On Volume Level

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

the AVR 7300 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 7300 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

to bring the MASTER MENU (Figure 1)

to the screen. Press the

Navigation Button

until the on-screen

➔

cursor is next to the

ADVANCED line.

Press the Set Button q to

enter the ADVANCED SELECT menu (Figure 19).

At the ADVANCED SELECT menu, make

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

VOLUME DEFAULT line by pressing the

⁄

Navigation Button o as needed. Next,

press the

›

Navigation Button o so that the word

ON is shown in the video display. Next, press the

Navigation Button o once so that the on-screen

➔ cursor is next to the DEFAULT VOL SET

line. To set the desired turn-on volume, press the

‹

›

Navigation Button o until the desired volume level

is shown on the DEFAULT VOL SET line.

This setting may NOT be made with the regular vol-

ume 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 )r

. 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

number such as –25dB.) When making the adjust-

ment, use the

‹

›

Navigation Button 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 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 U to exit

the menu system.

Semi-OSD Settings

The semi-OSD system places one-line messages at

the lower third of the video display screen whenever

the Volume, Input Source, Surround mode, tuner

frequency or any of the configuration settings is

changed. The semi-OSD system is helpful in that it

enables you to have feedback on any control changes

or remote commands using the video display when it

is difficult to view the front-panel displays. However,

you may also prefer to turn these displays off perma-

nently. You may also want to adjust the length of time

the displays remain on the screen. Both of those

options are possible with the AVR 7300.
