Basic Operations

You can determine the language used for the onscreen 
setup menus. See “OSD Setup” (

50

).

Operating on the AV receiver

Operating with the remote controller

You can display various information about the current 
input source as follows. (Components connected to the 

UNIVERSAL PORT

 jack are excluded.)

Tip

• Alternatively, you can use the AV receiver’s 

DISPLAY

.

The following information can typically be displayed.

*1

When AM or FM radio is used, the band, preset number, and 
frequency are displayed. 

*2

If the input signal is analog, no format information is dis-
played. If the input signal is PCM, the sampling frequency is 
displayed. If the input signal is digital but not PCM, the signal 
format is displayed. 
Information is displayed for about three seconds, then the pre-
viously displayed information reappears. 

*3

The input source is displayed with the default name even 
when you have entered a custom name in “Name Edit” 
(

47

).

You can adjust the brightness of the AV receiver’s display.

Tip

• Alternatively, you can use the AV receiver’s 

DIMMER

 

(North 

American and Taiwan models)

.

The on-screen menus appear only on a TV that is con-
nected to the 

HDMI OUT

. If your TV is connected to 

the 

MONITOR OUT V

 or the 

COMPONENT VIDEO

 

OUT

, use the AV receiver’s display when changing 

settings.

This manual describes the procedure using the 
remote controller unless otherwise specified.
