Set Button q to enter the ADVANCEDSELECT menu.When the ADVANCED SELECT menuappears, press the ⁄/¤ Navigation Button oso that the cursor is pointing to the SEMIOSD/TIME OUT line. Select one of theseoptions:• To keep the semi-OSD system activated, but toadjust the length of time the displays remain on thescreen, press the ‹/› Navigation Button ountil the desired time-out is shown. The defaultsetting is 5 seconds.• To turn the semi-OSD system off so that it does notappear at any time, press the ‹/› NavigationButton o so that OFF is shown on the rightside of the line.If you wish to make other adjustments, press the⁄/¤ Navigation Button o until the cursor is nextto the desired setting or the BACK TO MAS-TER MENU line and press the Set Button q. Ifyou have no other adjustments to make, press theOSD Button U to exit the menu system.Full-OSD Time-Out AdjustmentThe FULL OSD menu system is used to simplifythe setup and adjustment of the AVR 635 by using aseries of on-screen menus. The factory default settingfor these menus leaves them on the screen for 20seconds after a period of inactivity before they disap-pear from the screen (Time-Out). Time-Out is a safetymeasure to prevent image retention of the menu textin your monitor or projector, which might happen if itwere left on indefinitely. However, some viewers mayprefer a slightly longer or shorter period before theon-screen display disappears.To change the full-OSD Time-Out, you will needto make an adjustment in the ADVANCEDSELECT menu (Figure 17). To start the adjust-ment, press the OSD Button U to bring theMASTER MENU to the screen. Press the ¤Navigation Button o, until the on-screen Ôcursor is next to the ADVANCED line. Press theSet Button q to enter the ADVANCEDSELECT menu (Figure 22).At the ADVANCED SELECT menu (Fig. 22)make certain that the cursor is next to the FULLOSD TIME OUT line by pressing the ⁄/¤Navigation Button o as needed. Next, press the‹/› Navigation Button o until the desired time isdisplayed in seconds. Unlike most of the other optionsin this menu, this is a permanent setting change, andthe Time-Out entry will remain in effect until it ischanged, even if the unit is turned off.If you wish to make other adjustments, press the⁄/¤ Navigation Button o until the cursor isnext to the desired setting or the BACK TOMASTER MENU line and press the Set Buttonq. If you have no other adjustments to make, pressthe OSD Button U to exit the menu system.Digital Auto-Poll SettingsIn order to provide the greatest flexibility in accommo-dating the widest range of sources, the AVR 635includes both analog and digital audio inputs for allsources. In most cases you will want to use one or theother, but not both. However, in some circumstances itis desirable to make both an analog and digital con-nection between a source device and the AVR.An important application for dual audio connections iswith cable or satellite boxes, where the audio outputmay change depending on the channel being viewedand the type of audio the cable system or satellitereceiver associates with it. To eliminate the need toconstantly switch back and for to select an audio typeeach time you change channels, the AVR 635 is pro-grammed by default to automatically “poll” the audioinputs. When a digital audio stream it is selected first,but if the digital audio is removed the AVR will switchto the analog inputs associated with that input as aback-up. In most systems this is the correct operationand no further change is required.However, if this configuration does not suit your sys-tem application the AVR 635 gives you the flexibilityto turn the digital audio auto polling on or off on aninput-by-input basis. When the Auto Polling is set toOFF, the system will keep the digital audio inputactive and not attempt to switch to the analog sourceeven when the digital data stream stops.If you wish to change the auto poll setting, first selectthe input you wish to configure by pressing the appro-priate Input Selector dD on the remote, or onthe SOURCE line pf the IN/OUT SETUPmenu (Figure 2). Next, with the ADVANCEDSELECT MENU (Figure 22) on the screen,press the ‹/› Navigation Button o so that thecursor is pointing to the AUTO POLL line. Pressthe ‹/› Navigation Button o to change a defaultsetting so that OFF is shown in highlighted video orto ON so that the original setting is restored and theauto polling is once again activated.Since this setting is unique to each input, you mustreturn to the IN/OUT SETUP menu tochange any other inputs. To do that, press the ‹/›Navigation Button o so that the cursor ispointing to the BACK TO MASTER MENUline and press the Set Button q. At theMASTER MENU (Figure 1), press the ‹/›Navigation Button o so that the cursor is pointingto the IN/OUT SETUP line. Press the SetButton q and then follow the instructions shown onpage xx to change the input source. Return to theADVANCED MENU to reconfigure the autopoll setting for the newly selected input.When all changes to the Auto Poll settings have beenmade, press the ‹/› Navigation Button oto select another configuration option on theADVANCED SETUP Menu, move the cursorto BACK TO MASTER MENU line and pressthe Set Button q to make a change to anothermenu option, or simply press the OSD Button Uto exit the menu system.40 ADVANCED FEATURESADVANCED FEATURES
