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 ADVANCED
menu (Figure 11).To start the adjustment, press
the OSD button

Note that this setting is temporary and will
remain active only until it is changed or until the
AVR is turned off. Once the unit is turned off,the
semi-OSD displays will remain activated,even if
they were switched off for the previous listening
session.

Full-OSD Time Out Adjustment
The FULLOSDmenu system is used to sim-
plify 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 ADVANCED
Menu (Figure 1).To start the adjustment, press
the OSD button
L
to bring the MASTER
MENUto the screen.Press the
