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 set-
tings are changed. The semi-OSD system
is helpful in that it enables you to have
feedback on any control changes or
remote commands using the video dis-
play when it is difficult to view the front-
panel displays. However, you may occa-
sionally 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
AVR580.
To turn off the semi-OSD system, you
will need to make an adjustment in the
ADVANCED SELECT menu
(Figure 10). To start the adjustment, press
the OSD Button vto bring the
MASTER MENU to the screen. Press
the ¤Button n,until the on-screen
›cursor is next to the ADVANCED
line. Press the Set Button pto enter
the ADVANCED SELECT menu.
At the ADVANCED SELECT
menu, make certain that the on-screen ›
cursor is next to the SEMI OSD
DEFAULT line by pressing the ⁄/¤
Buttons nas needed. Next, press the
›Button so that the word OFF is
highlighted in the video display.
This setting is temporary and will remain
active only until it is changed or until the
AVR580 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 nas needed, until the
on-screen ›cursor is next to the SEMI
OSD TIME OUT line. Next, press
the ‹/›Buttons ountil the
desired time in seconds is displayed.
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,
press the ⁄/¤Buttons nuntil the
on-screen ›cursor is next to the desired
setting or the BACK TO MASTER
MENU line and press the Set Button
p. If you have no other adjustments to
make, press the OSD Button vto exit
the menu system.
Full-OSD Time-Out Adjustment
The FULL OSD menu system is used
to simplify the setup and adjustment of
the AVR580, 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
(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 Time-Out display.
To change the full-OSD Time-Out, you
will need to make an adjustment in the
ADVANCED SELECT menu
(Figure 10). To start the adjustment, press
the
OSD Button vto bring the
MASTER
MENU to the screen. Press
the ¤Button n, until the on-screen
›cursor is next to the ADVANCED
line. Press the Set Button pto enter
the ADVANCED menu (Figure 10).
At the ADVANCED SELECT menu
(Figure 10), make certain that the on-
screen ›cursor is next to the FULL
OSD TIME OUT line by pressing the
⁄/¤Buttons nas needed. Next,
press the ‹/›Buttons ountil
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 ⁄/¤Buttons nuntil
the on-screen ›cursor is next to the
desired setting or the RETURN TO
MASTER MENU line and press the
Set Button p. If you have no other
adjustments to make, press the OSD
Button vto exit the menu system.
