Full-OSD Time Out Adjustment
The
FULL OSD
menu system is used to
simplify the setup and adjustment of the AVR
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 inac-
tivity before they disappear from the screen or
Time Out. This Time Out is a safety measure to
prevent the menu text from burning into the
CRTs in your monitor or projector, which might
happen if they 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
SYSTEM
SETUP
menu (Figure 13). To start the adjust-
ment, press the
OSD
button
L
to bring the
MASTER MENU
to the screen. Press the
⁄
button
D
, until the on-screen
➞
cursor is next
to the
SYSTEM SETUP
line. Press the
Set
Button
F
to enter the
SYSTEM SETUP
menu (Figure 13).
At the
SYSTEM SETUP
menu make certain
that the on-screen
➞
cursor is next to the
FULL OSD TIME OUT
line by pressing the
⁄
/
¤
Buttons
D
as needed. Next, press the
‹
/
›
buttons
E
until the desired time is
displayed in seconds. Note that unlike most of
the other options in this menu, this is a perma-
nent setting change, and the time-out entry will
remain in effect until it is changed, even when
the unit is turned off.
If you wish to make other adjustments in the
menu, press the
⁄
/
¤
Buttons
D
until the
on-screen
➞
cursor is next to the desired setting
or the
BACK T O MASTER MENU
line and
press the
Set
button
F
. If you have no other
adjustments to make, press the
OSD
Button
L
to exit the menu system.
Default Surround Mode
In normal operation, when the AVR 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 particu-
lar preference for the mode you wish to hear
when Dolby Digital or DTS is present. The AVR
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 sur-
round mode used when a Dolby Digital or DTS
source is playing, press the
⁄
/
¤
Buttons
D
so that the
➞
cursor is pointing to the
DEFAULT SURR MODE
line. Press the
‹
/
›
Buttons
E
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 dig-
ital inputs or to analog sources. In those cases,
the unit will always apply the surround or pro-
cessing mode that was last used for that input.
If you wish to make other adjustments, press the
⁄

until the on-screen

is next to the desired setting or the
RETURN

line and press the

make, press the
OSD Button
L
to exit the
menu system.
Full-OSD Background Color
When the full-OSD menu system is in use, the
default display appears with a solid blue back-
ground with white characters. If you wish, you
may select a solid black background as the
default. This setting may be changed by pressing
the
OSD Button
L
to display the
MASTER
MENU
. Use the
⁄

Buttons
D
to scroll
down to the
SYSTEM SETUP
line, and press
the
Set Button
F
to select the
SYSTEM SETUP
submenu. Press the
⁄
/
¤
Buttons
D
again to scroll to the
OSD
BACKGROUND
line. When
BLUE
appears,
the full-OSD menus will appear on screen with a
solid blue background. Press the
‹
/
›
Buttons
E
until
BLACK
appears to display the
full-OSD menus on a solid black background
instead.
This setting will be retained even when the
AVR 145 is turned off to the Standby mode.
