Semi-OSD Settings
The semi-OSD system places one line messages
at the lower third of the video display screen
whenever the Volume, Input Source, Surround
mode or tuner frequency of any of the configura-
tion settings are changed. The semi-OSD system
is helpful in that enables you to have feedback
on any control changes or remote commands
using the video display when it is difficult to
view the front-panel displays. However, you may
occasionally prefer to turn these displays off for
a particular listening session. You may also want
to adjust the length of time the displays remain
on the screen. Both of those options are possible
with the AVR 5500.
To turn off the semi-OSD system, you will need
to make an adjustment in the
menu (Figure 11). To start the adjustment, press
the OSD button
to bring the
to the screen. Press the
twice, until the on-screen cursor is next to the
line. Press the Set Button

menu.

Note that this setting is temporary and will

off, the semi-OSD displays will remain activated,
even if they were switched off for the previous
listening session.

Full-OSD Time Out Adjustment
The
menu system is used to sim-
plify the setup and adjustment of the
AVR 5500 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 inactivity 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 dis-
play.
To change the Full-OSD Time Out, you will need
to make an adjustment in the
Menu (Figure 1). To start the adjustment, press
the OSD button
to bring the
to the screen. Press the
