The Operate Menu

The operate menu and its sub-menus give you control over the way the system displays information; over the details of how volume-related functions are handled; and a couple other details pertaining to how you would like the system to work.

It also allows you to lock the setup settings (preventing access to the Setup and Custom Menus) to minimize the chance of unwanted tampering with settings that alter the way the system performs. By contrast, the operate menu provides access to preferential settings that change the behavior, not the performance, of the system.

Before continuing on to the two major submenus of the operate menu, let’s take care of the items on the menu itself that can be changed without having to ac- cess submenus.

The AVP2 allows multiple connectors to be associated with a single input button on the front panel, often simplifying the use of components such as laserdisc players that may need as many as three different types of connection in order to work reliably with all discs. During setup, you (or your installer) establish which connectors should be associated with which buttons; and where multiple con- nections are used, what priority should be given to them. The ability to automati- cally select from among the available connections is called automatic migration.

There are three possible settings for automatic migration:

•visible: auto-migrates (displays on screen notices when it does so)

•on: auto-migrates (without any on screen notices)

•off: no auto-migration (forced/manual migration only; see below)
