System Setup
The AVR 147 is equipped with a number of ad-
vanced features that add extra flexibility to the
unit's operation. While it is not necessary to use
these features to operate the unit, they provide
additional options that you may wish to use.
Front-Panel-Display Fade
In normal operation, the front-panel displays and
indicators remain on at full brightness, although
you may also dim them or turn them off as
shown on page 38. As an additional option, you
may also set the AVR so that the displays are on
whenever a button is pressed on the front panel
or remote, but then fade out after a set period of
time.
To set the front-panel displays to the Fade mode,
press the OSD Button
to bring the
Master Menu to the screen. Press the

the amount of time that you wish the displays to
fade out after a button is pressed is shown.
Once this time is set and the unit returned to
normal operation, the displays will remain on for
the time period selected whenever a button is
pressed on the front panel or remote. After that
time they will gradually fade out, with the excep-
tion of the lighting surrounding the Standby/On
Switch 3, which remains on to remind you
that the AVR is turned on. Note that if the dis-
plays have been turned completely off using the
Dim Button, as shown on page 38, the Fade
function will not operate.

Turn On Volume Level
As is the case with most audio/video receivers,
when the AVR is turned on, it will always return
to the volume setting in effect when the unit was
turned off. However, you may prefer to always
have the AVR turn on at a specific setting,
regardless of what was last in use when the unit
was turned off. To change the default condition
so that the same volume level is always used at
turn-on, you will need to make an adjustment in

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.
To turn off the semi-OSD system, you will need to
make an adjustment in the
SYSTEM SETUP
menu (Figure 13). To start the adjustment, press
the OSD button
to bring the
MASTER

they were switched off for the previous listening
session.
