On-Screen Menus

The AVR85’s on-screen menu system pro-

vides both a window into the operation of

the unit and a means of easily adjusting

many system parameters. In addition to

their use in the setup and configuration

of the AVR85, the menu system provides

an easy means of operating the unit.

To activate the On-Screen display system,

press the

OSD

button

k

on the remote

for three seconds. This will cause a status

summary display to be shown on the

screen for ten seconds (see figure #6).

Once the video displays are enabled, this

status screen will also appear when the

unit is turned on.

Note:

In order to view the on-screen

menu displays the receiver must be con-

nected to the standard, composite video

input of a TV monitor or projector. The

on-screen displays are NOT visible via the

S-Video output.

The status screen displays the following

information:

AUDIO SOURCE

: This is the input

currently selected for audio.

VIDEO SOURCE

: This is the input

currently selected for video.

TAPE MONITOR

: If “ON” is

displayed in this line the output

of the AVR85 is the tape recorder

connected to the

rather than the actual source. This

function is used to monitor a

recording in progress.

digital audio source is selected, it

cate additional range available for

increased volume. The “0dB” reference

point is shown by a solid block

Í

.
