Important Note:

All toggled controls (such as “on/off”) on the AVP2 have positive control alternatives (e.g., “on” and “off” as two separate commands). This practice supports proper design and operation of macros. These commands are available in both IR and RS-232 forms.

The Surround, Path and More Inputs menus under the Direct Access menus are as follows:

The misc control menu provides positive control commands for functions that are normally toggled between two states; use the front panel volume knob and mute button to select and “fire” the appropriate IR commands as needed.

Favorite volume provides a method for directly accessing any volume set- ting, something that owners of home automation systems such as Audioaccess, AMX, Crestron and Elan can use in their macros. For example, a macro called “Background Music” might be written that would

select a particular music program on a 100-disc CD changer;

select cd on the AVP2;

select Dolby Pro Logic II Music;

and change the volume setting to 35.0 (regardless of where the volume had been set previously).
