You can move the cursor up or down the list of functions using the volume ± key on the remote. Having selected the item you wish to control, either

•press special again to exit the menu without activating the feature (that is, leaving it the way it is)

•press enter to both exit the menu and execute the feature

For example, if you frequently watch movies and wish to have one-button access to a THX control that will toggle between THX on and THX off, enter the spe- cial key action menu and leave the cursor arrow beside thx toggle: off. Pressing special again will leave THX off, and subsequent clicks of the special button will toggle THX on and off without having to enter the menu. Alternatively, you could pressing enter to exit the menu and turn THX on (in this example).

Similarly, you can

•adjust the relative volume of the center, rear, and sub channels

•toggle your sub on and off (with your front L&R speakers tempo- rarily changing to “full range” when the subwoofer is “off”)

•adjust the left/right balance

•toggle late night AC-3 compression on and off, and

•cycle through the available display intensities as you would from the front panel display intensity button.

The status display feature, when selected, will display a comprehensive list of information pertaining to the current status of the AVP2. Although the specifics will change as to reflect whatever is currently being done by the AVP2, the screen will looks something like the following:
