controlling remote zone volume

Thus you can watch one program while recording another; or watch one program while sending a different one to another part of the house; or you can watch what is being recorded from either another part of the house or from within the main room. But there is a limit: you cannot have three in- dependent programs running simultaneously on the main, remote and record paths, because the remote and record paths always share a single source.

The main difference between the remote output and the record outputs is that the remote outputs include a high quality analog volume control; the record path remains at a fixed, line level at all times.

The AVP2 can distribute either analog or digital sources to a remote zone or recording devices without your having to think about the details of whether the signal originates from an analog or a digital source. Multichan- nel signals automatically will be downmixed to two analog channels for use in the remote zone; if you have a second home theater in the house, you can even use the AVP2’s digital output to forward the original multi- channel digital signal to that remote home theater “zone.”

The volume of the remote zone is controlled by selecting the remote path on the front panel and then adjusting volume conventionally, using the knob; al- ternatively, it may be adjusted by simply sending an infrared volume command to the rear panel ir input, when that input is configured to receive only re- mote zone signals.

If you are using a remote zone, connect either the balanced (preferred, espe-

27

cially for long runs of cable) or the single-ended remote outputs to the ampli-

fier serving your remote zone.

The AVP2 includes a second signal path (beyond the primary one used in the main listening room) that can feed a remote zone, or a record path for making recordings, or both. There is one limitation: the remote and record outputs always contain the same signal.
