Turn-On Volume Level; Semi-Osd Settings; Full-Osd Time Out Adjustment - Harman Kardon AVR 240 Owner's Manual

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 set-
ting, 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 the
ADVANCED SELECT
menu. To start the adjustment, press the OSD
button to bring the

setting may NOT be made with the regular vol-
ume controls.
NOTE: Since the setting for the turn-on volume
cannot be heard while the setting is being made,
you may wish to determine the setting before
making the adjustment. To do this, listen to any
source and adjust the volume to the desired
level using the regular volume controls
When the desired volume level to be used at
turn-on is reached, make a note of the setting as
it appears in the lower third of the video screen
or in the Main Information Display Ò.
A typical volume level will appear as a negative
number such as -25dB. When making the
adjustment, use the ‹ › buttons

Unlike some of the other adjustments in this

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
button
on the screen. Both of those options are possible
with the AVR.

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 inac-
tivity 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 display.
To change the Full-OSD Time Out, you will need
