ATI Technologies ATP 8500 Remote Control Handset Operations, Power, Volume And Up And Down, Mute

Remote Control Handset Operations

The remote control is preprogrammed to operate the ATP 8500 Digital Preamplifier-Processor in the AVC mode. It also has 7 other Device modes (accessed via the top two rows of buttons) including CD (CD player), DVD (DVD Player), AUX (auxillary), SAT (satellite), TV (television), VCR (videocassette recorder) and CBL (cable box) for learning functions from remote controls of other equipment from other manufacturers. A red backlight appears under the Device buttons when functions for that device are selected on the remote. The red light under the Device button is also used during programming and setting up the remote control. For instructions on learning new commands, turn to page 19.

POWER

NOTE: The top left pushbutton on the remote labeled “AVC” must be selected before using the remote to operate the ATP 8500.

This key operates the same way as the STANDBY button on the front panel. It sends the command to switch the ATP 8500 into or out of standby mode.

VOLUME ▲ AND ▼ (UP AND DOWN)

When you press the ▲ key, you will increase volume setting, and when you press the ▼ key, you will decrease volume setting. These keys work exactly the same way as the rotating volume control on the front panel. If the ATP 8500 is in the mute mode (after you have pressed the MUTE key on the handset), and you then press the VOLUME ▲ key, the ATP 8500 will automatically disengage the mute mode and re-connect the signal to the power amplifier and the loudspeakers. This prevents an excessively high volume level from being set by mistake.

CHANNEL ▲ AND ▼ (UP AND DOWN)

When in AVC mode (the top left button on the remote), these buttons scroll up and down the input selection.

MUTE

When you press the MUTE key on the remote handset, it will engage mute mode and the ATP 8500’s line outputs will be muted. MUTE is a toggle function, so when you press the key again it will disengage the mute mode. Mute mode is also disengaged when you increase the volume setting by using the VOL ▲ key on the remote handset.

GUIDE (same as PREVIEW on the front panel)

When you press this key once, the status of the ATP 8500 will be displayed on the OSD. The status display shows selected source, audio and video signal type, audio output type and volume information. The status display disappears after ten seconds or when you press the same key again. Note: There will be no status information if you have selected “Temp.Display-Off” from the OSD setup menu.

MENU

When you press this key, the ATP 8500 goes to setup mode. Use the up/down/left/right keys to navigate the menus. The ATP 8500 escapes from setup mode when you either select EXIT from the OSD or press the MENU key again.

EXIT

This key exits the setup mode without saving the new settings. Use it if you have adjusted the setup menu by accident.

SELECT/PLAY

This is the enter key in setup mode. You can us it to access sub-menus or to activate special menu items.
