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).

Next, press the ‹/› Navigation ButtonsD© until the desired time is displayed in sec-onds.

In most cases, the goal is for the AVR orany other source device using EDID to tell all otherdevices in the signal chain which resolutions andaspect ratios are available. The AVR default setting isto allow for this automatic operation.In some cases, you may wish to override the defaultsettings, perhaps to send a lower resolution outputfrom the AVR to the display, so that you may demon-strate the difference between the various outputresolutions offered by the AVR 745. The HDMIVIDEO AUTO line enables you to do this, byformatting the video output the resolution set in thevideo configuration menus, or when the Faroudja videoprocessing is set to Bypass, to the resolution of theincoming video signal.To turn off the automatic HDMI configuration sothat the display’s EDID signal is ignored, press the⁄/¤ Navigation Buttons D© while theADVANCED SELECT menu is on screenuntil the cursor is pointing to HDMI VIDEOAUTO. Press the ‹/› Navigation ButtonsD© to select OFF, or select ON to returnthe AVR to normal operation.When all needed adjustments to the ADVANCEDSELECT menu have been made, press the⁄/¤ Navigation Buttons D© until the cursoris pointing to BACK TO MASTER MENU tomake changes to other menus, or press the MenuButton A or the OSD Button ∫ to exit themenu system and return to normal operation.The BridgeTMThe BridgeTM50 ADVANCED FEATURESADVANCED FEATURES50 ADVANCED FEATURES
