1STANDBY BUTTON AND INDICATOR

Pressing this button places the AVP2 in standby mode, turning off the dis- play, disengaging all control functions, and turning off all outputs to the main zone (remote zone functions remain available). The internal circuitry remains on in order to maximize performance on demand, by virtue of all circuits remaining thermally stable. Lest you think this wasteful, you should know that the AVP2 draws about the same power as a light bulb, whether in standby or fully on. The benefits of having it always warmed up and ready to go (not to mention being able to respond to remote control com- mands) far outweigh the small amount of power used. We recommend us- ing the front panel power switch (13) only when you will be away from your home for an extended period of time, such as during a vacation.

There is another good reason for using the AVP’s standby mode. The AVP2 will generate a full-frame, grey video signal during standby, rather than passing no signal at all. This is particularly helpful with many CRT-based projection televisions, since it gives them an ideal signal with which to warm up. Turning on the projector 15-20 minutes before you begin your movie, while leaving the AVP2 in standby, will allow your projector to look its best right from the opening credits.

2AUDIO/VIDEO SOURCES

These five buttons are generally used to select both the video and associ- ated audio signals from any of the defined A/V inputs. (See define source buttons in The Setup Menu section of this manual.) To use these Selection Buttons, choose the appropriate path (see path, below). (For your music/ home theater room, “main” would be appropriate.) Then make your selec- tion. The sophisticated switching system employed in the AVP2 allows si- multaneous, independent routing of both audio and video signals the two signal paths: main, and remote/record.
