a button is pressed on the front panel or remote. After that time,
they will gradually fade out, with the exception of the LED in the
Power Button 1, which remains on to remind you that the AVR is
turned on.
Front-Panel Brightness
The AVR21EN’s front-panel displays and indicators are set at a
default brightness level that is sufficient for viewing in a normally
lit room. However, you may wish to occasionally lower the bright-
ness of the display, or turn it off completely.
To set front-panel brightness, press the
Menu Button on
the remote to bring the MAIN MENU to the screen. Press the

to select FULL, HALF or OFF. The AVR will operate at this
setting until the power is turned OFF (standby). When the AVR is
powered up, the displays and indicators will light at full-brightness.
NOTE: When the display has been turned off, the green power
indicator in the
Power Button 1 will remain on to show that
the AVR is powered up.
Power-On Volume
As is the case with most audio/video receivers, when the AVR21EN
is turned on, it will always return to the volume setting in effect
when the unit was turned off. However, you may prefer to have the
AVR21EN always turn on at a specific setting, regardless of what
was last in use when the unit was turned off. To change the default
condition so that the same volume level is always used at turn-on,
you will need to make an adjustment in the
ADVANCED menu.
To set Power-On Volume, press the
Menu Button on the
remote to bring the MAIN MENU to the screen. Press the

volume level set when the unit was last turned off. With ON selected,
the AVR will always turn on to the Power-On Volume level.

so that the cursor is pointed to the POWER ON VOL
LVL line. Press the
‹
/
›
Navigation Button F to select the
desired turn-on level. Range: –50dB to –10dB. Default: –50dB. This
setting may NOT be made with the regular volume controls.
NOTE: Since the setting for the turn-on volume cannot be heard
while the setting is being made, you may wish to determine the
setting before making the adjustment. To do this, listen to any
source and adjust the volume to the desired level using the regular
Volume Controls NJ. When the desired volume level to be
used at turn-on is reached, make a note of the setting as it appears
in the lower third of the video screen or in the
Lower Display Line
on the AVR’s front panel. (A typical volume level will appear as
a negative number such as –25dB.) When making the adjustment,
use the
‹

Navigation Button F to enter this setting.
Unlike some of the other adjustments in this menu, the turn-on
volume default will remain in effect until it is changed or turned
off in this menu, even when the unit is turned off.
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’s front-panel
display. However, you may prefer to turn these displays off perma-
nently. 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.

The default setting is 3 seconds.

shown on the right side of the line.
Main Menu Time-Out
The Full-OSD menu system is used to simplify the setup and adjust-
ment 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 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 time-out, press the

change, and the Time Out entry will remain in effect until it is
changed, even if the unit is turned off.
