Semi-OSD Settings

The semi-OSD system places one line messages

at the lower third of the video display screen

whenever the Volume, Input Source, Surround

mode or tuner frequency of any of the

configuration settings are changed (except when

HDMI, 720p or 1080i sources are in use).

The semi-OSD system is helpful in that enables

you to have feedback on any control changes or

remote commands using the video display when

it is difficult to view the front-panel displays.

However, you may occasionally prefer to turn

these displays off for a particular listening

session. You may also want to adjust the length

of time the displays remain on the screen. Both

of those options are possible with the AVR.

To turn off the semi-OSD system, you will need to

make an adjustment in the

ADVANCED

SELECT

menu (Figure 23). To start the

adjustment, press the OSD button

to bring

the

MASTER MENU to the screen. Press the

⁄

Button

, until the on-screen ➞ cursor is

next to the

ADVANCED line. Press the Set

Button

to enter the ADVANCED

SELECT

menu.

At the

ADVANCED SELECT menu make

certain that the on-screen ➞ cursor is next to the

SEMI OSD line by pressing the

⁄

buttons

as needed. Next, press the

›

button

that the word

OFF is highlighted in the video

display.

Note that this setting is temporary and will

remain active only until it is changed or until the

AVR is turned off. Once the unit is turned off, the

semi-OSD displays will remain activated, even if

they were switched off for the previous listening

session.

To change the length of time that the semi-OSD

displays remain on the screen, go to the

ADVANCED SELECT Menu as outlined

earlier, and press the

⁄

buttons

needed, until the on-screen ➞ cursor is next to

the

SEMI-OSD TIME OUT line. Next,

press the

‹

›

Buttons

until the desired time

in seconds is displayed. Note that 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 when the unit is turned off.

If you wish to make other adjustments in the

menu, press the

⁄

Buttons

until the on-

screen ➞ cursor is next to the desired setting or

the

BACK TO MASTER MENU line and

press the Set button

. If you have no other

adjustments to make, press the OSD Button

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

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

or Time Out. This Time Out is a safety measure to

prevent the menu text from burning into the

CRTs in your monitor or projector, which might

happen if they 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 23). To start the

adjustment, press the OSD button

to bring

the

MASTER MENU to the screen. Press the

⁄

button

, until the on-screen ➞ cursor is

next to the

ADVANCED line. Press the Set

Button

to enter the ADVANCED

SELECT

menu (Figure 23).

At the

ADVANCED SELECT menu make

certain that the on-screen ➞ cursor is next to the

FULL OSD TIME OUT line by pressing the

⁄

Buttons

as needed. Next, press the

‹

›

buttons

until the desired time is

displayed in seconds. Note that 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 when the unit is turned off.

If you wish to make other adjustments in the

menu, press the

⁄

Buttons

until the

on-screen ➞ cursor is next to the desired setting

or the

BACK TO MASTER MENU line and

press the Set button

. If you have no other

adjustments to make, press the OSD Button

to exit the menu system.

DMP/ Auto Power

When using Harman Kardon’s optional

iPod docking station, the normal operation is to

have the iPod selected as the input source only

when it is specifically chosen. However, you may

set the AVR so that whenever the iPod is turned

on, the AVR will also turn on automatically and

set The Bridge as the input.

To change the setting, first make certain that the

ADVANCED SELECT menu (Figure 23) is

on the screen, and then press the

⁄

Navigation Buttons

F until the cursor is

pointing to

DMP AUTO POWER. Press the

⁄

Navigation Buttons

F so that ON

is highlighted to have the AVR turn on in sync

with an iPod, or

OFF for standard operation.
