defining multiple audio connections

(As a reminder, the path to the define button vcr 2/disc 2 menu shown above is main menu/setup/set source buttons/vcr 2/disc 2—but you can get there faster by pressing and holding the vcr 2/disc 2 button for several seconds.)

The appropriate type: from the define button vcr 2/disc 2 menu this time is a/v.

After having changed type: to a/v and saved the change, you will see an addi-

tional item immediately below type. The video: item establishes which video connector you wish to associate with a particular button.

1MOVE TO THE “VIDEO:” ITEM IN THE MENU, PRESS THE ENTER BUTTON

The arrow cursor will change to the “change-it” cursor ( → ).

2CYCLE THROUGH THE AVAILABLE INPUTS UNTIL YOU SEE THE ONE YOU USED WHEN HOOKING UP YOUR LASERDISC PLAYER

The AVP2 will cycle through the entire list of available video inputs.

In this and other menus, connectors that are already associated with another, different button are displayed in yellow letters instead of white. This is done to keep you informed as to what inputs might be available.

Now the system knows which video connector to look at when you want to watch a laserdisc. Next, let’s move to the audio connectors. (You can change the surround mode default along the way if you like… but you already know how to do that.)

The laserdisc has the greatest potential for confusion, having as it does three pos- sible connections that may be needed. In addition, multiple versions of the soundtrack are often present on a single laserdisc requiring some sort of decision as to which should be used.

Ideally, the system would be able to automatically select the best available soundtrack and give it to you without your having to become involved personally in reading the fine print on the laserdisc jacket (and then pushing additional but- tons) every time you watch a movie.
