define source buttons
example: setting up a cd transport
To take a common but surprisingly complex example, imagine:
•that you have a laserdisc player that has an RF Dolby Digital
•that you usually listen to it in THX cinema mode, whether using discrete digital soundtracks or Dolby Pro Logic soundtracks;
•and that you prefer to use a subwoofer for movies for the extra impact, but prefer not to use it when listening to music.
The setup menu is where you “explain” all this to the AVP2, so that all you have to do when you want to watch a laserdisc is press a single button. The system can easily do everything else for you. It even figures out which of the three con- nections
We’ll take each of the submenus in turn.
Each of the buttons on the on the top row of the front of the AVP2 may be asso- ciated with any of the audio and video connectors on the rear of the AVP2. In fact, each button can be associated with a maximum of three audio connections (the

Moreover, we feel the system should handle the
Thus, we give you a scrolling list of all ten input buttons, and give you the op- portunity to tell the AVP2 which connectors you would like it to use when you press that button. Your first connector is also your “first choice,” the priority con- nection; second choice is second priority; and third connector selection is the “last resort.” (That is, when there is nothing to listen to on the first and second choices.)
A couple examples will help. With a simple CD transport, you might set up your default selections as follows:
