A Quick Start For DVD

We understand: you’re in a rush to hear Dolby Digital on your new system. Re-

member: What follows is not a replacement for a complete setup of the system. We will assume here that you have already done the CD setup on the previous page. To get a DVD player playing:

1MAKE THE PHYSICAL CONNECTIONS

Noting which connectors you use, connect a digital output of your DVD to any matching digital input on the AVP2, and a video output of your DVD to a corresponding video input on the AVP2. Turn everything on.

2PRESS AND HOLD THE DISC 1 BUTTON ON THE AVP2

This shortcut of pressing and holding an input button will take you directly to the Define Button menu for that button, disc 1 in this case .

3TELL THE SYSTEM WHICH CONNECTORS YOU USED FOR YOUR DVD

PLAYER IN STEP 1

Using the volume ± buttons (or the volume knob), move the arrow cursor down to the line that defines your video connection and press enter (or mute on the front panel). Make sure the AVP2 knows where you plugged in your DVD player’s video output. Change the video: setting to the correct video input, and press enter to save any changes you need to make.

Similarly, set up your audio connection: move the arrow cursor down

(volume ± ) to the audio connectors line and press enter; move to the line that reads 1: digital 3, and press enter again. Move down to the connector line, press enter and with the cursor changed to an arrow within a diamond ( → ), the volume ± buttons will allow you to select whatever digital input you used when hooking up the system.

4PRESS MENU A FEW TIMES TO EXIT THE MENU SYSTEM, AND ENJOY

Make sure the volume is on at a low level before you fire up your DVD player; press the disc button once, and raise the volume to a moderate/ comfortable level. Important: you should properly calibrate the system so all speakers are playing at the proper volumes before you listen critically to multichannel audio. Performing this calibration only takes only a few more minutes, but you should read up on it first. Please review the chapter on The Setup Menu for more information, beginning on p. 44.
