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 the SYSTEM SETUP
menu. To start the adjustment, press the OSD
button L to bring the main menu (Figure 1) to
button D, until the

Volume Set line and press the Set Button
F to confirm. Note that this setting may NOT
be made with the regular volume 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 d.
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

Semi-OSD Settings

The semi-OSD system places two-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
configuration 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

Full-OSD Time Out Adjustment

The menu system is used to
FULL OSD
simplify the setup and adjustment of 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
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 display.
To change the Full-OSD Time Out, you will need
to make an adjustment in the
SYSTEM
SETUP menu (Figure 35). To start the
adjustment, press the OSD button L to bring
the main menu to the screen. Press the
button D, until the
