Using The Menu System

The AVP2 uses a dynamically-updated menu system that operates more intelli- gently than most such systems. For example, when configuring inputs, the menu options change according to the selections you have already made. In effect, the AVP2 only asks you for relevant information, thereby minimizing confusion.

Four buttons on the remote control are used to navigate through its extensive on screen menu system: menu, enter, volume +, volume .

You may also navigate the menus from the front panel. The volume knob on the may be used interchangeably with the volume ± buttons on the remote. If you are more comfortable navigating the menu from the front panel, pressing and holding recall will get you into the menu system (much as pressing menu would from the remote); once in the menu system, recall continues to serve as menu would (though you no longer have to press and hold it). Finally, while in the menu system, pressing mute on the front panel has the same effect as pressing enter on the remote. Thus:

volume ±

=

volume knob

menu

= recall (must press and hold to enter menu system)

enter

=

mute

For clarity’s sake, in most of the rest of the manual will refer to the labelled re- mote control commands only, rather than always making awkward references to

menu (recall) or similar constructions. Just remember that you can use the35 menus just as easily from the front panel as from the remote control.

Pressing menu once will display the AVP2 Main Menu of the on screen menu system. Note that the front panel display of the AVP2 shows –SETUP MENU– when you enter the on screen menu system (to encourage you to look on screen, where the important information is). The main menu provides access to the three major function areas of the menu system:

The Operate Menu is where user preferences are set. These items tailor the way the system interacts with you to suit your personal preferences, but do not effect the actual performance of the system in any substantive way.

The Setup Menu is normally used only by the installer at the time of the initial system setup. Many of the items in this menu have significant impact on the actual performance and functionality of the system, and should be changed only by those who have taken the time to learn the way the system works. (Reading this manual should do the trick.)

The Custom Menu is also used by your installer to customize your system even further. Whereas every system must be properly setup using the Setup Menu, the items in the Custom Menu are more rarely needed—primarily in systems that employ home automation. Once again, the items contained within this menu should be used and/or changed only by those who have taken the time to learn the way the system works (which you can do by reading this manual thoroughly, if you wish).
