Dim Function
Since the AVR 430 will often be used when movies or
other video programming is viewed under low-light
conditions, you may wish to lower the brightness of
the front-panel displays and indicators so that they do
not distract from the video presentation. You may dim
the displays using the menu system, as shown on
page 36, or you may control the brightness directly
from the remote.
Simply press the
Dim Button m once to dim the
front panel to half the normal brightness level; press
it again to turn the displays off. Note that when the
displays are dimmed or turned off, the blue lighting
around the
Standby/On Switch 1 will continue to
stay lit as a reminder that the AVR is still turned on.
The accent lighting for the
Volume Control ) will
remain at its normal level, rather than dim when the
panel displays are at half brightness.
Note that all changes to the front-panel brightness
level are temporary; the displays will return to full
brightness after the AVR is turned off and then on
again. To return the displays to full brightness without
turning the unit off, press the
Dim Button m as
needed until the displays are on.
In addition to lowering the brightness of the displays
or turning them off completely, you may wish to have
them appear whenever a button on the remote or
front panel is pushed, and then gradually fade out after
a set time period. You may do this by making the
appropriate settings in the
VFD FADE TIME
OUT
line of the ADVANCED SELECT
MENU
, as shown on page 36.
