On Screen Display
The two items on this sub-menu determine which of the two video outputs of the 7.0 display the on screen menus, and
that the video standard for the menus will be. In most cases, these settings will not require adjustment.
Menus Display
The Citation 7.0 has two video outputs that carry the signal selected as the input source. In most installations, where
only one video monitor in use, it is desirable to have the on screen menus appear on the video screen. However, you
may wish to operate the 7.0 using the front panel display only. In other installations, a separate, auxiliary monitor is
used to display the on screen menus, and they are not required on the main viewing screen.
To accommodate both of those situations, the graphics feed to the main output may be turned off using this menu.
When the menus are left activated at the main output, this menu also enables you to select between having them “time
out” or go blank after a short period of time, or to remain on the screen until they you manually exit the menu system
by pressing “Exit/OK” or “Cancel”.
Note:
The 7.0 is shipped with the menu system set for “Always On” as a factory preset. Due to the length of
time required to make some of the choices required, it is preferable to leave the menus on during installation.
However, when an installation is completed, you may wish to turn the menus to “time-out”. This will prevent the
possibility of “burin in” to picture tubes or projection CRTs.
CAUTION:
Leaving the menus on for extended periods of time may cause image retention or “burn in” to
display devices, particularly front and rear screen projectors. To avoid this damage, do not leave the same menu on a
screen for an extended period of time (over five minutes). This is particularly true when the projectors are run at high
brightness/beam current. Damage to display device tubes is not covered by the Citation warranty.
To change the menu output, you must be at the “Options Set - On Screen Display Menu”. To reach that menu, press
“Options Set”, and then “Select”. Press “
Ð
“ twice so that the on screen “
Ö
“ pointer is next to the “On Screen Display”
line. Press “select” to choose this option. (Figure #xx)
At the “Options Set - On Screen Display” screen, press “Select” to go to the “Menus Display”. (figure #xx)
To have the menus appear on both the Main and Aux video outputs
, press “Select”. If the “
Ö
“ pointer and “
“
cursor are next “Main and Aux”, no other action is needed; press “Select” to proceed. (figure #xx) If you are changing a
previously set default, press “
Ï
“ to move the pointer up one line. Press “Select” to confirm the move, and then press
“Select” to move to the next menu..
The next menu determines if the setup menus will always stay on, or time out after a brief pause, as previously
described.
To have the menus remain on during set-up, the “
“ cursor should be at the top, “Menus Always On” line. To have
them go off after a brief pause, the “
“ cursor should be at the lower, “Menu Time-out” line. If the cursor is where it is
desired, press “Exit/OK” three times to return to the “Options Set” menu, or four times to return to normal operation.
If you do NOT wish to have the menus appear on the Main output
, press “
Ð
“ at the “Menus Display” screen to
move the “
“ cursor down to the “Aux Screen Only” line. (figure #xx) Press “Select” to chose that option, and then
press “Exit/OK” to return to the “On Screen Display” Menu.
NOTE:
Once you turn the menus off using this option, the screen will go blank. From this point forward, any
setup and adjustment must be made using the two line display on the 7.0 front panel, or a video display which is
plugged into the “Aux Out” jack on the rear panel. Turning the menu system off will remove the menus from both the
Main Out for composite video, and the Main Out for “S” video.
