I LEFT THE SYSTEM ON, BUT JUST RETURNED AND FOUND IT IN STANDBY. WHAT IS HAPPENING?

✓There was probably a power outage while you were away from the system. During a power failure, the AVP2 saves all of its critical set- tings to nonvolatile memory. When power is restored, it enters the standby mode and waits for your return.

MY VIDEO IS SOMETIMES WASHED OUT, APPEARING IN BLACK AND WHITE ONLY. WHAT GIVES?

✓Cause: The AVP2 can do a full conversion from S-video to com- posite, making all of the S-video sources available to the composite outputs of the AVP2 (both main and remote/record). This often simplifies operation significantly. However, conversion in the other direction would have added significantly to the cost of the AVP2. Instead, you get a black and white only rendition of whatever you are trying to watch if you try to monitor a composite source on the S-video output.

✓What to do: switch to the S-video input on your TV. Assuming it is connected, you’ll get all of the picture—color as well as black and white.
