ADVANCED FEATURES 53
ENGLISH
The AVR is equipped with a number of advanced
features that add extra flexibility to the unit’s
operation. While it is not necessary to use these
features to operate the unit, they provide addi-
tional options that you may wish to use.
To change a setting from its factory default, you
will use the
ADVANCED SELECT menu.
First press the TC 30's Device Button 4, then
press the Screen Button 6 next to A V
RECEIVER in the display and then press the
Menu Button A. With the ZR 10 remote,
press the OSD Button E to call up the
MAIN MENU (Figure 1). Next, press the ⁄ / ¤
Navigation Buttons DF so that the cursor
is next to ADVANCED ; then press the
OK/Enter Button E on the TC 30 or the Set
Button Q on the ZR 10. When the
ADVANCED SELECT menu (Figure 31)
appears, follow the instructions shown below to
make any needed configuration adjustments.

Front-Panel-Display Fade
In normal operation, the front-panel displays and
indicators remain on at full brightness, although
you may also dim them or turn them off as
shown on page 51. As an additional option, you
may also set the AVR so that the displays are on
whenever a button is pressed on the front panel
or remote, but then fade out after a set period of
time.
With the ADVANCED SELECT menu on
your video display, press the ⁄ / ¤ Navigation
Button DF so that the ➞ cursor is pointed
to the VFD FADE TIME OUT line. Next,
press the ‹ / › Navigation Button DF so
that the amount of time that you wish the dis-
plays to fade out after a button is pressed is
shown.
Once this time is set and the unit returned to
normal operation, the displays will remain on for
the time period selected whenever a button is
pressed on the front panel or remote. After that
time they will gradually fade out, with the excep-
tion of the lighting surrounding the Standby/On
Switch 3, which remains on to remind you
that the AVR is turned on. Note that if the dis-
plays have been turned completely off using the
Dim Button, as shown on page 51, the Fade
function will not operate.
If you wish to make adjustments to other items
on the
ADVANCED SELECT menu, press
the ⁄ / ¤ Navigation Button DF to place
the ➞ cursor next to the desired item, or place
the ➞ cursor next to the
BACK T O
MASTER MENU line and press the OK/Enter
Button E on the TC 30 or the Set Button
Q on the ZR 10 to make an adjustment to
another menu. If you have completed all adjust-
ments, press the Menu Button
A or the OSD
Button E to exit the menu system.
Display Brightness
The AVR’s front panel Main Information
Display ˜ is set at a default brightness level
that is sufficient for viewing in a normally lit
room. However, in some home theater installa-
tions, you may wish to occasionally lower the
brightness of the display, or turn it off completely.
To change the brightness setting, at the
ADVANCED SELECT menu, make certain
that the on-screen ➞ cursor is next to the
VFD
line, and press the › Button DF until the
desired brightness level is highlighted in the
video display. When
FULL is highlighted, the
display is at its normal brightness. When HALF
is highlighted, the display is at half the normal
brightness level. When
OFF is highlighted, all of
the indicators in the Main Information
Display ˜ will go dark. Note, however, that the
Power Indicator 3, will always remain lit to
remind you that the unit is turned on.
If you wish to make other adjustments in the
menu, press the
⁄ / ¤ Buttons DF until the
on-screen ➞ cursor is next to the desired setting
or the BACK T O MASTER MENU line and
press the OK/Enter Button E on the TC 30
or the Set Button Q on the ZR 10. If you have
no other adjustments to make, press the Menu
Button
A or the OSD Button E to exit the
menu system.
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
ADVANCED SELECT menu.
At the ADVANCED SELECT menu make
certain that the on-screen ➞ cursor is next to the
VOLUME DEFAULT line by pressing the
⁄ / ¤ buttons DF as needed. Next, press the
➞ button DF so that the word
O N is high-
lighted in the video display. Next, press the ¤
button DF once so that the on-screen ➞
cursor is next to the DEFAULT VOL SET
line. To set the desired turn-on volume, press the
‹ / › buttons DF or hold them pressed until
the desired volume level is shown on the
DEFAULT VOL SET line. Note that this set-
ting 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
dI. 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 ˜.
A typical volume level will appear as a negative
number such as -25dB. When making the
adjustment, use the
‹ / › buttons DF to
enter this setting.
Unlike some of the other adjustments in this
menu, the turn-on volume default will remain in
effect even when the unit is turned off comple-
tely, unless it is changed or turned off in this
menu.
If you wish to make other adjustments in the
menu, press the
⁄ / ¤ Buttons DF until the
on-screen ➞ cursor is next to the desired setting
or the BACK T O MASTER MENU line and
press the OK/Enter Button E on the TC 30
or the Set Button Q on the ZR 10. If you have
no other adjustments to make, press the Menu
Button
A or the OSD Button E to exit the
menu system.
