The Outlaws’ Guide to the Marantz AV7005
screensaver will be engaged after three minutes of inactivity any time a setup menu,
tuner screen, or iPod screen being displayed. The “Wall Paper” setting selects between
a “Picture” background image (Marantz logo) or a “Black” background (no image). The
video format can also be set to either NTSC or PAL. NTSC is the video format used in
North America, while PAL is the video format used in Europe. If this is set to a format
that is not compatible with your display, the picture will not be displayed properly.
On-Screen Text Overlay
On-Screen Volume Overlay
Two forms of on-screen overlays (information superimposed onto the video sources)
are the master volume control and text detailing surround mode, input, and other
adjustments. These two can be controlled separately. The “Text” setting can be set to
“ON” or “OFF” to determine whether on-screen overlays are provided when operations
such as changing surround modes or inputs occur. The “Master Volume” setting can be
set to “Bottom,” “Top,” or “OFF” to determine where or if the volume is displayed on-
screen when volume adjustments are made. The “Top” setting is useful for avoiding
conflicts with movie subtitles. Neither “Text” nor “Master Volume” will be overlayed onto
HDMI video inputs. Finally, the “NET/USB,” “TUNER,” and “iPod” settings control on-
screen information for the network and USB sources (USB mass storage devices), the
TUNER source (FM/AM and Sirius), and an iPod. Options for each include “Always”
(on-screen information always shown), “30sec” (on-screen information shown for 30
seconds after a command), “10sec” (on-screen information shown for 10 seconds after
a command), and “OFF” (no on-screen information provided).
The AV7005 has two component outputs, as well. The first output is always tied to the
main zone, but the second output (Component Output 2) can be linked to the main zone
or to zone 2, and the “Component 2 Output” setting determines which. When set to
“Main Zone,” the Component 2 output will provide the same video output as
Component 1. When set to “Zone 2,” the Component 2 output will serve as a monitor
output for zone 2.
“Zone Rename” allows the Main Zone, Zone 2, and Zone 3 to be given custom labels.
Each can be edited using the same interface described on page 61 for editing input
names.
The “Display” setting controls behavior of the AV7005’s front panel display. The options
are “ON” (display is always on), “Display Auto Off” (display is only on when a command
is issued and shortly afterward), and “Display Off” (display is always off). This setting
can also be adjusted using the DISPLAY button on the front panel.
The next setting in the
Manual Setup
menu is “Setup Lock.” When set to “On,” this
setting prevents any changes from being made in the setup menus.
