Full-OSD Time-Out Adjustment

The FULL OSD menu system is used to simplify
the setup and adjustment of the AVR 235, 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 disap-
pear from the screen (Time-Out). Time-Out is a safety
measure to prevent image retention of the menu text
in your monitor or projector, which might happen if it
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 ADVANCED
SELECT menu (Figure 10). To start the adjust-
ment, press the OSD Button v to bring the
MASTER MENU to the screen. Press the
Button n, until the on-screen
› cursor is next to
the ADVANCED line. Press the Set Button p
to enter the ADVANCED menu (Figure 10).

Default Surround Mode

In normal operation, when the AVR 235 senses a
Dolby Digital or DTS digital audio data stream, it will
automatically switch the appropriate default surround
¤
mode, with the AVR responding to the data flags that
are encoded on the DVD disc or in the digital video
broadcast. In most cases, this is the correct mode, but
you may have a particular preference for the mode
you wish to hear when Dolby Digital or DTS is present.
The AVR 235 allows you to set the unit so that it will

If you wish to leave the default so that the mode
choice encoded in the disc is always used, no further
action is needed. Simply leave the setting at the
factory default of ON.

OFF appears, and the setting will change. The unit
will now use the last mode, not the disc's default for
the two digitally encoded data streams.
This setting does not apply to standard PCM digital
inputs or to analog sources. In those cases, the unit
will always apply the surround or processing mode
that was last used for that input.
