Press the OK Button to display the System Settings menu. See Figure 39. Figure 39 – Systems Settings Screen Front-Panel Dimmer: Select On 100% for full brightness, dim to 50% or 25% of full brightness or select Off to fully darken the display. The light inside the Volume Control will go out when the display is partly or fully dimmed, but the Power Indicator will always remain lit to remind you that the AVR is powered on. GeneraL aVr SettInGS Volume Units: Select whether volume is displayed in the conventional decibel scale or on a numeric scale from 0 to 90. When the decibel scale is used, 0dB is the maximum recommended volume, with lower volumes displayed as negative values. Volume Default and Volume Default Level: These two settings are used together to program the volume level at turn-on. Turn Volume Default on, and then set the Volume Default Level to the desired turn-on volume. When the Volume Default setting is left off, the AVR will play at the last-used volume setting from the previous listening session. Unit of Measure: Adjusts the speaker-distance settings for Manual Speaker Setup. Select between meters and feet. Language: Select the preferred language for the AVR’s on-screen menus and displays: English, French, Spanish, German, Italian or Russian. ADVANCED FuNCTIONS HDMI Audio to TV: Determines whether HDMI audio signals are passed through the HDMI Output to the video display. In normal operation, leave this setting Off, as audio will be played through the AVR. To use the TV by itself, without the home theater system, turn this setting On. Mute the TV’s speakers when using the AVR for audio.

Refer to the Function List (Table A13 in the appendix) for assistance in operating your other Calibration Offset, as described on page 30 in the Basic Manual.. Its default of 0dB is best when the system’s loudspeakers have a sensitivity rating of 88dB (8 ohms, 1 watt, 1 meter). If your loudspeakers have a higher sensitivity rating, increase the Dolby Volume Calibration setting by the difference between your speakers’ sensitivity and 88dB. If your speakers have a lower sensitivity, decrease the Dolby Volume Calibration setting by the difference between 88dB and your speakers’ sensitivity. menu appearance Menu Transparency: Select whether video programs will be visible when the menu system is in use. Select Normal for a fully transparent background, Medium for partial transparency or Opaque to block video programs while the menus are on screen. Volume/Status Messages: When the AVR is turned on, the volume is adjusted or the source is changed, or if a change in the input signal is detected, a status message will be displayed on screen. Select how long the message remains visible, from 2 to 10 seconds, with a default of 3 seconds. Select “Off” if you do not wish to see the status messages. Menus: This setting governs how long the Surround Modes, Video Modes and Audio Effects menus remain visible after the last adjustment: 5, 10 or 30 seconds, 1 minute or 5 minutes. Select “No Time-Out” to view the menus indefinitely, but this setting is not recommended, due to the danger of “burnin” on some video displays. Setup and Slide-In Menus: This setting determines how long the setup menus (Main Menu, Speaker Setup Menu, Zone 2 Menu, all slide-in menus) remain visible after the last adjustment. Select a time-out period of 5, 10 or 15 (the default) minutes, or no time-out, which leaves the menus on screen until manually cleared. A time-out period avoids the possibility of burn-in damage to plasma or CRT displays. Screen Saver: Program a time-out period for no activity (with no menus displayed) before the AVR’s built-in screen saver begins. Select a period of 5, 10, 20 or 30 minutes or 1 hour, or turn off the screen saver. A time-out period avoids the possibility of burn-in damage to plasma or CRT displays.
