On Screen Status
The semi-OSD system places two-line messages at bottom of the video display screen whenever
the Volume, Input Source, Surround Mode, Tuner Frequency or any of the configuration settings
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 display when it is difficult to view the AVR
front-panel display. However, you may also prefer to turn these displays off permanently. You
may also want to adjust the length of time the displays remain on the screen. Both of those
options are possible with the AVR21EN.
To set On-Screen Status, press the Menu Button [oval 44] to bring the MAIN MENU to the
screen. Press the ▼/▲ Navigation Button [oval 16] so that the cursor is pointed to the MAIN
ROOM SETUP line. Press the Set Button [oval 18]. Press the ▼/▲ Navigation Button [oval 16]
so that the cursor is pointed to the ADVANCED line. Press the Set Button [oval 18]. Press the
▼/▲ Navigation Button [oval 16] so that the cursor is pointed to the ON SCREEN STATUS line.
Press the ◄/► Navigation Button [oval 16] to select the duration of this setting. Select one of
these options:
• To keep the semi-OSD system activated, but to adjust the length of time the displays remain on
the screen, press the ◄/► Navigation Button [oval 16] until the desired time-out is shown.
The default setting is 3 seconds.
• To turn the semi-OSD system off so that it does not appear at any time, press the ◄/►
Navigation Button [oval 16] so that OFF is shown on the right side of the line.
Main Menu Time-Out
The FULL OSD menu system is used to simplify the setup and adjustment of the AVR21EN by
using a series of on-screen menus. The factory default setting for these menus leaves them on
the screen for 30 seconds after a period of inactivity before they disappear from the screen
(Time-Out). Time-Out is a safety measure to prevent image retention (burn-in) of the menu text in
your monitor or projector, which might happen if the menus were left on indefinitely. However, you
may prefer a different time period before the on-screen display disappears.
To set Main Menu Timeout, press the Menu Button [oval 44] on the remote to bring the MAIN
MENU to the screen. Press the ▼/▲ Navigation Button [oval 16] so that the cursor is pointed to
the MAIN ROOM SETUP line. Press the Set Button [oval 18]. Press the ▼/▲ Navigation
Button [oval 16] so that the cursor is pointed to the ADVANCED line. Press the Set Button [oval
18]. Press the ▼/▲ Navigation Button [oval 16] so that the cursor is pointed to the MAIN MENU
TIMEOUT line. Next, press the ◄/► Navigation Button [oval 16] until 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 ▼/▲ Navigation Button [oval 16] until the on-
screen cursor is next to the desired setting or the BACK TO MAIN ROOM SETUP line, and press
the Set Button [oval 18]. If you have no other adjustments to make, press the Exit Button [oval
17] to exit the menu system and return to operational mode.
REMOTE CONTROL SETUP
NOTE: Before proceeding in this section, all source components connected to the rear panel of
the AVR21EN MUST have IR emitters attached to their IR eyes and the emitters must be
connected to the appropriate AVR rear panel Control Out Jacks [circle 36] to complete this
setup. Additionally, any devices utilizing the DVD CHANGER INTERFACE terminals must also
have an IR emitter connected to the appropriate Control Out Jack [circle 36]. The DVD
Changer Interface only provides Disc and Track data for display on the multiroom keypads.
