Signature 2.0

Source Selection

After turn on/off and volume, the most frequently used controls on any audio video product are the input source selectors. The current input source is always displayed in the front panel Information Display (Figure FPD-4) and may be shown on screen (Figure OSD-14) when the Display button x is pressed.

To change the input source, press the Source Úor Source Û buttons 3 on the front panel or the individual direct access Source Selection buttons g on the remote.

When you change a source you are not only changing the input signal sources, but all of the other parameters associated with the source profile. Thus, when a source changes you may also be changing the surround mode, effects parameters, channel balance and active channel locations. When the 2.0 is first turned on, the source pro- files are set to the defaults listed on page 6. To customize the profile of a specific input source, follow the instruc- tions shown on page 27 of the Manual.

When the input source profile is changed, the message in the front panel Information Display ) will change and display the new source name, processing mode and current volume level (Figure FPD-4). A message with the source name and surround mode will also appear briefly through the On-Screen Display System (Figure OSD-16).

If the source selected is the tuner, the front panel display will first show the source name and mode (Figure FPD- 10), and will then switch to a readout of the frequency being tuned, preset memory location, if any, and volume level (Figure FPD-11). Selecting the Tuner when the on- screen display is activated will also show the frequency and preset memory location, if any (Figure OSD-17).

NOTE: While the switch from one input source profile to another is usually instantaneous, a large number of complex calculations are made by the 2.0’s microprocessors to switch the surround processing modes and other operating parameters. For that reason, you may occasionally encounter a very slight delay when pressing a new source button before the mode is changed. This is normal and does not indicate any problem with the unit.
