Harman-Kardon AVR 435 - Manual (Page 40)

Press the Set Button q to enter the
ADVANCED SELECT menu.
When the ADVANCED SELECT menu
appears, press the ⁄ / ¤ Navigation Button o
so that the cursor is pointing to the SEMI
OSD/TIME OUT line. Select one of these
options:
• To keep the semi-OSD system activated, but to
adjust the length of time the displays remain on the
screen, press the
‹ / › Navigation Button o
until the desired time-out is shown. The default
setting is 5 seconds.
• To turn the semi-OSD system off so that it does not
appear at any time, press the ‹ / › Navigation
Button o so that OFF is shown on the right
side of the line.
If you wish to make other adjustments, press the
⁄ / ¤ Navigation Button o until the cursor is next
to the desired setting or the BACK TO MAS-
TER MENU line and press the Set Button q. If
you have no other adjustments to make, press the
OSD Button
U 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 435 by 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
on-screen display disappears.
To change the full-OSD Time-Out, you will need
to make an adjustment in the
ADVANCED
SELECT menu (Figure 17). To start the adjust-
ment, press the OSD Button
U to bring the
MASTER MENU to the screen. Press the
¤
Navigation Button o, until the on-screen ➔ ➔
cursor is next to the ADVANCED line. Press the
Set Button q to enter the ADVANCED
SELECT menu (Figure 22).
At the ADVANCED SELECT menu (Fig. 22)
make certain that the cursor is next to the FULL
OSD TIME OUT line by pressing the ⁄ / ¤
Navigation Button o as needed. Next, press the
‹ / › Navigation Button o until the desired time is
displayed in seconds. Unlike most of the other options
in this menu, 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.
If you wish to make other adjustments, press the
⁄ / ¤ Navigation Button o until the cursor is
next to the desired setting or the BACK TO
MASTER MENU line and press the Set Button
q. If you have no other adjustments to make, press
the OSD Button
U to exit the menu system.
Source Mode Memory
When a digital playback source such as Dolby Digital
or DTS is in use, the AVR 435 is programmed by
default to automatically select the surround mode
specified by the digital flags embedded in the digital
soundtrack. As an example, this means that when a
Dolby Digital 5.1 disc is playing, the AVR will switch to
the Dolby Digital 5.1 mode even if the system is con-
figured for 7.1 operation. Of course, once the initial
mode is established, you may switch to any other
mode or post-processing combination such as Dolby
Digital with Pro Logic IIx. The default mode for analog
or PCM sources is Logic 7 Music.
If you wish to always have your playback sources
revert to the last-used surround decoding or process-
ing mode regardless of the digital flag data associated
with a specific program, you may program the AVR to
respond in that fashion with a setting in this menu.
At the ADVANCED SELECT menu (Figure
22), make certain that the cursor is next to SURR
MODE MEM by pressing the ⁄ / ¤ Navigation
Button o as needed. Next, press the ‹ / ›
Navigation Button o again so that LAST
appears. When this feature is activated, the AVR will
revert to the surround mode last used by any input
when it is selected, regardless of the flag, as long as
the mode is possible with the incoming analog or digi-
tal track and the speaker configuration of your unit.
When all changes to the ADVANCED SETUP
menu have been made, move the cursor to the
BACK TO MASTER MENU line and press
the Set Button q, or press the OSD Button
U
to exit the menu system.
