VFD FADE TIME OUT:
Some people find the brightness of the AVR’s
front-panel display distracting during movies or listening sessions. It’s
possible to dim the front-panel display completely using the Dim function
(see below). Alternatively, you may set the display to remain dark most of
the time, lighting up only when a button is pressed or a remote command
is received. This setting allows you to turn on this feature and program
the amount of time the display remains lit before fading to dark.
Select a time-out period of between 3 and 10 seconds, or select OFF
if you prefer to leave the displays either on or dimmed at all times.
VOLUME DEFAULT
and
DEFAULT VOL SET:
These two settings are
used together to program a volume level the AVR will always switch to
when turned on. This feature avoids overtaxing the system in case the
last user turned the volume very high.
Press the OSD Button to remove the display from the screen so that
you may adjust the volume to a desired level while a source is playing.
Make a note of the number that appears in the display, and return to
the SYSTEM SETUP menu. At the DEFAULT VOL SET line, select the
desired volume setting, and activate the feature by setting VOLUME
DEFAULT to ON.
NOTE:
Although volume is normally displayed in 0.5dB increments,
the default volume setting only allows whole numbers.
SEMI OSD TIME OUT:
At this line, you may program the amount of
time (2 to 5 seconds) the two-line semi-OSD on-screen messages
remain visible, or you may deactivate the semi-OSD display altogether
if you find it distracting. The same messages will continue to appear
on the front panel of the receiver.
FULL OSD TIME OUT:
At this line, you may program the amount of
time (20, 30, 40 or 50 seconds) the full-OSD menus remain visible on
screen. The full-OSD system may not be deactivated.
DEFAULT SURR MODE:
This setting determines how the AVR 245 will
handle Dolby Digital and DTS sources. For the purposes of this setting,
the “default surround mode” means the mode encoded in the program,
such as Dolby Digital 5.1. With this setting ON, the receiver will always
use the default surround mode encoded in the program. When this
setting is changed to OFF, the receiver will use the surround mode
you selected the last time this type of audio stream was detected.
For example, the Default Surround Mode setting can be beneficial when
used with Dolby Digital 2.0 programs, such as the ones broadcast on
many channels of some cable and satellite television systems. If you
would prefer to play these programs in the Dolby Pro Logic II Movie
surround mode, then set DEFAULT SURR MODE to OFF, and select the
Dolby Pro Logic II Movie surround mode the first time a Dolby Digital
2.0 program is played. Dolby Digital 5.1 programs will still be played
in 5.1-channel mode.
NOTE:
For PCM and analog sources, the factory default surround
mode is Logic 7 Music. In general, the receiver will use the surround
mode selected the last time that type of signal was received.
OSD BACKGROUND:
This setting allows you to choose between a blue
or black background for the full-OSD menus.
NOTE:
It isn’t possible to view video sources while the full-OSD
menus are displayed.
Dim Function
Some people find the front-panel messages distracting and would prefer
to dim them or turn them off altogether.
To dim the display:
1. Press the Dim Button on the remote. Each button press will cycle
through the three settings of:
VFD FULL:
Normal brightness
VFD HALF:
Display is dimmed but still visible; the light inside the
volume knob goes dark
VFD OFF:
Display goes completely dark except for the Power
Indicator to remind you that the receiver is turned on
2. Press the Set Button on the front panel and hold it for about five sec-
onds. A message indicating the current brightness setting (see above)
will appear in the display. Use the front-panel

Buttons to change
the setting.
Advanced Remote Control Functions
The AVR 245 remote control not only operates the AVR 245, but it also
serves as a universal remote that may be programmed to operate many
other home theater components, as described in the Installation section.
Each time you select one of your other components, the AVR remote
switches to the control functions for that component. Since many but-
tons will have unique functions for each component, you may refer to
the Function List in the Appendix for assistance in operating your other
components. The function of each button will not necessarily correspond
to the label printed on the button.
Punch-Through Programming
The AVR 245 remote allows you to select one component for the
remote to operate, while simultaneously setting certain groups of con-
trols to operate another component. For example, while using the AVR
to control surround modes and other audio functions, you may wish to
operate the transport controls of your DVD player. Or while using the
remote to control video functions on your TV, you may wish to use your
cable box to change channels and the AVR to control the volume.
All of this is possible using punch-through programming.
NOTE:
It is not necessary to program the remote to control
your DVD player’s transport controls while the AVR is in use, as
the remote is preprogrammed at the factory with this function.
