Some people may prefer a green screen to differentiate the screen generated by the AVP2 from other components in their system. Still others may prefer to leave their projection televisions on in order to keep them warmed up and ready to use, in which case a dark grey screen might be more desirable. (A dark grey screen would facilitate listening to music in a darkened room, for example, and saves unnecessary wear on the phosphors within the projector while keeping it warmed up and ready to go.)

This menu item allows you to choose the best mode for your system, blue, green or dark grey.

The second item on the main operate menu is volume preferences. This submenu contains several items pertaining to how volume is controlled within the system, which are detailed below.

You have the option of displaying your volume settings either of two ways:

•absolute—on a scale of 0.0 (no sound) to 91.0 (extremely loud); or

•relative—on a scale which is measured “plus or minus,” relative to the calibrated reference volume (established during calibration).

As an example, if your calibrated reference level is 70, the display would read 0 in the relative mode when it would read 70 in the absolute mode. Most people find absolute more intuitive, while some people find relative more informative. (For example, those who have made many recordings, and are accustomed to VU meters that read ± relative to a calibrated zero point, may prefer the relative set- ting.)

When the cursor is on the volume display line, an extra line will appear at the bottom of the menu to show you how the calibrated, reference volume would be displayed for the current setting of either absolute or relative. This serves as a reminder, should you forget which is which. It also disappears when you move the cursor on to another line, so as to avoid confusion.

You may select either slow or fast response for the rate at which the volume change accelerates when pressing and holding the volume ± keys. In all cases, single taps of the volume keys result in single incremental steps in volume. The volume speed chosen affects the amount of time it takes to reach maximum speed while holding a volume ± button down.

The magnitude of volume reduction introduced by pressing the mute key is user- definable in increments of 0.5 dB, from -0.5 to -60.0 decibels. The factory preset is for -20.0 (-20 dB).
