Another example might be creating “video wallpaper” during a party, wherein you display a slide show or movie in the background, accompanied by music of your choice.

If the ability to create such simulcasts whenever you might want them appeals to you, change the simulcast setting of this menu to on. You may then select the simulcast you want by choosing the picture, followed by the sound that you would like.

By default, whenever a video source is selected, the audio that normally would accompany that source is automatically selected with it. Your second selection overrides this default. Both indicator LEDs will illuminate to indicate your selec- tion.

If you find the possibility of having more than a single source selected at once somewhat confusing, simply change the simulcast setting back to off.

Once the AVP2 is completely setup, calibrated and ready to go, you may want to change this setting from setup: unlocked to setup: locked to make it more diffi- cult to accidently disturb the carefully calibrated settings in the Setup and Custom Menus. Toggle the lock on and off by moving the “select-it” cursor to this item, changing to the “change-it” cursor by pressing enter, and pressing either volume

+or volume – (with only two settings, either plus or minus will work). Then save your change by pressing enter.

Pressing enter while the cursor is at this line will take you to a submenu that provides several controls that affect the behavior of the on screen display of the AVP2. The items on this submenu are detailed below.

The displayed position of the on screen messages for volume changes, surround mode changes, etc., can be moved up or down to suit the needs of your system. This flexibility allows you to place your AVP’s on screen information where it won’t conflict with other on screen information. As an example, you may want to place the on screen display near the middle of the screen so that changing aspect ratios on a digital television doesn’t place information off the edge of the view- able area..

Normally, the AVP2 will display on screen messages to keep you informed as to the current status of the system. These include on screen displays of things such as changes in volume, input, and surround mode.
