Setup Menu Level Five - On-Screen Display Setup Procedures

This setup feature gives you the option of having an on-screen information display for any
of the video outputs. You can turn on or off the on-screen display at the Composite Video, S-
Video
, or Component Video outputs. You can also program the display default system to be
for the NTSC or PAL video format. PAL is the video format in most European countries and
NTSC is the predominant video format in other regions.

Component Video Outputs:

Setup Menu Level Six - DC Trigger Assignment Procedures

You can program the external Main (or 1) and/or the Zone (or 2) +12 V DC Triggers on the
rear panel to activate when any of several “events” occur during operation. The variety of
triggering events offer virtually unlimited automation options. If you select Polarity Invert,
it does not mean that the +/- are reversed at its jack. Instead, Polarity Invert means that the
activation rule is reversed. This means that trigger output is normally active and it only turns
off when the event is selected. For example, you could set the DC trigger to turn on the
lights in your home theater whenever you turn the AVC-2500 off by changing the polarity
for the 

POWER

 

event from 

NORM

 

to 

INV

. You can also set the delay time of either trigger from

no delay (

0 s

) to a maximum delay of ninety seconds (

90 s

).

To Program DC Trigger Outputs in Response to a Preset Event

1. Press and hold the Setup/Trim button on the remote control until
