Function Displays and Messages
Once the On Screen Displays have been
activated, they appear when certain
functions are performed from the front
panel buttons or the remote control.
These messages are three line displays
with the current function shown on the
top line and information about the
selection or choice on the bottom two
lines.
The following function/operation display
screens are available:
Surround Mode and Delay
When the surround mode is changed or
the delay timing is adjusted, this message
will appear at the bottom of the video
screen. The top line is the surround
mode, the bottom line is the delay time
for that mode. (Figure #5) Note that
delay time will not be displayed in the
STEREO
or
DOLBY 3 STEREO
modes, as these modes do not have rear
channel information.
Input Selection
When the source input is changed, this
message will appear (Figure #6). The top
line is the audio input source, the bottom
line is the video input source. Remember,

source first, and then the audio source if
a split input/simulcast listening session is
desired.
Surround Output Levels
To obtain a status screen with the outputs
for each individual channel, press the
