Full-OSD Time-Out Adjustment

The

FULL OSD

menu system is used to simplify

the setup and adjustment of the AVR 235, using a
series of on-screen menus. The factory default setting
for these menus leaves them on the screen for 20
seconds after a period of inactivity before they disap-
pear from the screen (Time-Out). Time-Out is a safety
measure to prevent image retention of the menu text
in your monitor or projector, which might happen if it
were left on indefinitely. However, some viewers may
prefer a slightly longer or shorter period before the
Time-Out display.

To change the full-OSD Time-Out, you will need
to make an adjustment in the

ADVANCED

SELECT

menu (Figure 10). To start the adjust-

ment, 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

menu (Figure 10).

At the

ADVANCED SELECT

menu (Figure

10) make certain that the on-screen

›

cursor is next

to the

FULL OSD TIME OUT

line by press-

ing the

⁄

Buttons

as needed. Next, press

the

‹

›

Buttons

until the desired time is dis-

played in seconds. This is a permanent setting change,
and the Time-Out entry will remain in effect until it is
changed, even if the unit is turned off.

Default Surround Mode

In normal operation, when the AVR 235 senses a
Dolby Digital or DTS digital audio data stream, it will
automatically switch the appropriate default surround
mode, with the AVR responding to the data flags that
are encoded on the DVD disc or in the digital video
broadcast. In most cases, this is the correct mode, but
you may have a particular preference for the mode
you wish to hear when Dolby Digital or DTS is present.
The AVR 235 allows you to set the unit so that it will
either respond to the default or switch to your
desired mode.

If you wish to leave the default so that the mode
choice encoded in the disc is always used, no further
action is needed. Simply leave the setting at the
factory default of ON.

To set the unit so that it responds to the last surround
mode used when a Dolby Digital or DTS source is
playing, press the

⁄

Buttons

so that the

›

cursor is pointing to the

DEFAULT SURR

MODE

line. Press the

‹

›

Buttons

so that

OFF

appears, and the setting will change. The unit

will now use the last mode, not the disc’s default for
the two digitally encoded data streams.

This setting does not apply to standard PCM digital
inputs or to analog sources. In those cases, the unit
will always apply the surround or processing mode
that was last used for that input.

If you wish to make other adjustments, press the

⁄

Buttons

until the on-screen

›

cursor is

next to the desired setting or the

RETURN TO

MASTER MENU

line and press the

Set Button

. If you have no other adjustments to make, press
