Advanced Features
The AVR 310 is equipped with a number of
advanced 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.
Display Brightness
The AVR 310's Main Information Display
is set at a default brightness level that is
sufficient for viewing in a normally lit room.
However, in some home theater installations,
you may wish to occasionally lower the bright-
ness of the display, or turn it off completely.
To change the display brightness setting for a
specific listening session, you will need to make
an adjustment in the
menu. To start the adjustment,
press the OSD button
to bring the main
menu to the screen. Press
