Five different volume settings may be stored and recalled directly, without having to ramp through the intervening volume settings. These favorite vol- umes may be changed and saved in the usual way; when enter is pressed, it will both save the change and fire the command for that particular favor- ite volume.

6TO LEARN OTHER SPECIAL COMMANDS, SELECT “SPECIAL” ON THE TEACH REMOTE MENU

Finally, the AVP2 provides several special commands that offer home enter- tainment enthusiasts and home automation designers more specialized con- trol over their systems.

SPECIAL

CONTROL TRIGGER 1 ON

CONTROL TRIGGER 1 OFF

CONTROL TRIGGER 2 ON

CONTROL TRIGGER 2 OFF

SUB ON/OFF TOGGLE

PRESS MUTE TO TEACH

Control trigger 1&2 on and control trigger 1&2 off make it possible to con- trol one or both of the remote turn-on trigger outputs on the rear panel of the Audio Video Preamplifier independently of the system itself. For ex- ample, should you decide to use one of these trigger outputs to control am- plifiers in the remote zone rather than the local amplifiers, learning these IR commands would allow you to turn the remote amplifiers on and off (even from across the house) without affecting the operational status of the main home theater.

The sub on/off toggle feature will toggle between the configuration estab- lished during initial setup and using the front three loudspeakers full-range, without any help from the subwoofer(s). (Specifically, it turns off the cross- over and the subwoofer output when sub/crossover off is selected.) This fea- ture may be used to compare the performance of the system configured with and without the subwoofer(s). (Note that pressing recall will always return the system to its calibrated setup configuration, regardless of its cur- rent status.)

Having gotten through the nearly endless teach remote capabilities of the AVP2, the remainder of the custom menu is used to configure how the AVP2 communi- cates with other products. When you enter this menu, you see something like this:
