•mono on front — the same as mono on center, above, but the sound is reproduced through all three front speakers.

•2-ch/surround off — limits the system to two-channel stereo us- ing only the Left and Right speakers (and subwoofer, if you have one).

When decoding Dolby Digital™ 5.1-channel source material, clicking the Surround mode button will toggle you between the two available Dolby Digital modes:

•Dolby Digital: straight Dolby Digital decoding without further processing.

•Dolby Digital + THX: the same as above, but with the additional post-processing offered by THX 5.1; usually the best choice for Dolby Digital-encoded movie soundtracks.

In addition, when decoding DTS™ source material, clicking the Surround mode button will cycle you through the available DTS modes:

•DTS: straight DTS decoding without further processing

•DTS + THX: DTS decoding, plus the additional post-processing of- fered by THX 5.1; usually the best choice for DTS-encoded move soundtracks

8RECALL

Pressing the recall button restores the AVP2 to its calibrated reference set- tings for the relative output of all speakers. This is especially helpful after having experimented with various settings of balance, center, rear, or sub, or when comparing a modified surround default to “flat” balance, since one touch of a button will restore your preamplifier to its original state (as de- termined by the setup calibrations stored in memory; see System Setup & Calibration and Using the AVP2 for more details).

9MAIN DISPLAY

The main display provides information pertaining to the operation of the AVP2 including selected source, surround mode, and volume levels. At all volumes above a relatively quiet background level, and in all modes, the volume control enjoys a resolution of 0.5 dB. Thus a change of 9.5 decibels would be indicated by a change of 9.5 in the display.
