ADVANCED FEATURES To turn off the semi-OSD system, you'll need to make an adjustment in the ADVANCED SELECT menu (Figure 13). To start the adjustment, 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 SELECT menu. To change the length of time that the semi-OSD displays remain on the screen, press the ⁄/¤ Buttons n as needed, until the on-screen › cursor is next to the SEMI OSD TIME OUT line. Next, press the ‹/› Buttons o until the desired time in seconds or the word OFF is displayed. This is a permanent setting change, and the time-out entry will remain in effect until it is changed, even when the unit is turned off. If you wish to make other adjustments, press the ⁄/¤ Buttons n until the on-screen › cursor is next to the desired setting or the BACK TO MASTER MENU line and press the Set Button p. If you have no other adjustments to make, press the OSD Button v to exit the menu system. Full-OSD Time-Out Adjustment The FULL OSD menu system is used to simplify the setup and adjustment of the AVR 335, 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 (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 13). To start the adjustment, 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 SELECT menu (Figure 13). At the ADVANCED SELECT menu (Figure 13) make certain that the on-screen › cursor is next to the FULL OSD TIME OUT line by pressing the ⁄/¤ Buttons n as needed. Next, press the ‹/› Buttons o until the desired time is displayed in seconds. This is a permanent setting change, and the Time-Out entry will remain in effect until it is changed, even if the unit is turned off. Default Surround Mode In normal operation, when the AVR 335 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 335 allows you to set the unit so that it will either respond to the default or switch to your desired mode. 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. To set the unit so that it responds to the last surround mode used when a Dolby Digital or DTS source is playing, press the ⁄/¤ Buttons n so that the › cursor is pointing to the DEFAULT SURR MODE line. Press the ‹/› Buttons o so that 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. If you wish to make other adjustments, press the ⁄/¤ Buttons n until the on-screen › cursor is next to the desired setting or the RETURN TO MASTER MENU line and press the Set Button p. If you have no other adjustments to make, press the OSD Button v to exit the menu system. 34 ADVANCED FEATURES
