choosing a 2-channel mode

Note:

1MOVE TO THE “TYPE:” ITEM IN THE MENU, PRESS THE ENTER BUTTON, AND USE THE VOLUME ± BUTTONS TO CHOOSE “AUDIO”; PRESS ENTER AGAIN TO SAVE THE CHANGE

In reality, this is how the unit is shipped from the factory anyway, but while

you are here you may as well see what your options are by using the volume ± buttons to cycle through the choices. Choose audio before you finish up, or press menu to cancel without making any changes.

The AVP2 allows you to introduce an overall audio delay from 0-99 milliseconds (ms), in 1 ms increments. This is normally used for A/V sources, especially when external video processing may delay the video signal. Rather than having poor “lip sync” between the auio and the video, you can delay the audio to once again match up with the video. (This can also be done in an ad hoc way, using the de- lay button on the front panel.)

For audio-only sources like CD, you will probably leave this set to 0 ms (no de- lay).

The AVP2 also lets you choose a default surround processing mode that will au- tomatically be applied when a plain “stereo” signal is received from this source. For example, if you find yourself using the stereo surround mode for most of your music listening, you can have this mode selected automatically when chang- ing to your CD input.

These “surround modes” refer to what the system does when

given a generic, two-channel input signal, whether analog or digital.

Dolby Surround encoded signals are an example of such a two-channel signal as they enter the Audio Video Preamplifier, one that has been encoded to provide multiple channels when properly decoded.

Discrete multichannel signals (such as those provided by Dolby Digital, DTS, or MPEG) will override these surround preferences and use processing applicable to the signal type.

If you already know what your preference is, you might as well program it in now. If you aren’t sure, we suggest leaving the default surround mode for your CD transport as stereo surround for now. You can always change it later.

1MOVE TO THE “2-CH:” ITEM IN THE MENU, PRESS THE ENTER BUTTON, AND USE THE VOLUME ± BUTTONS TO REVIEW YOUR AVAILABLE SURROUND MODES; CHOOSE THE ONE YOU WANT AUTOMATICALLY ENGAGED; PRESS ENTER AGAIN TO SAVE THE CHANGE

Of course, during day to day operation, you can easily override this default selection by simply pressing the mode button on the remote control (or the surround mode button on the front panel) at any time. Doing so will cycle you through the available surround modes.
