Sleep Timer

The Sleep button sets the AVC-2500 to automatically turn itself off. Each press of the Sleep button adds 15 minutes to the sleep timer, up to a maximum of 90 minutes. During the last two minutes of the sleep timer, the volume level gradually drops before the AVC-2500 turns off. You can adjust the speed at which the volume ramps down in the setup menu.

Source

The source buttons provide direct access to each of the twelve inputs of the AVC-2500. The source buttons are labeled Aud (Audio) 1-6and Vid (Video) 1-6.

Numerical Presets 1-10

Pressing any of these numerical preset buttons activates the tuner even if it was not already on, and selects the radio station you had preset to that number. To access preset numbers above 10, press and hold the numerical button down for two seconds to add 10 to the number. For example, to access preset 15, press and hold down numerical button number 5 for two seconds and preset 15 will be selected.

Macros

The four macro buttons allow you to program a series of commands for one touch operation of multiple remote commands.

Shift

This button accesses several “secondary” codes, such as separate on and off commands that are used for advanced programming, but not in daily operation.

Light

The Light button illuminates all the remote control buttons for approximately 5 seconds. The illumination makes it easier to see the buttons in a darkened room.

Zone

Press the Zone button to control the remote zone from the main zone. There is no need to press the Zone button first when controlling the remote zone via an infrared repeater con- nected to the Zone 2 External IR input. When Zone is selected, the On-Offswitch, The Volume g and h buttons and the Selector buttons operate in the same way as in the main zone. Whenever you are controlling the remote zone, ZONE appears in the AVC-2500 front panel display. Five seconds after making your adjustments to the remote Zone, the AVC- 2500 remote control reverts to Main Zone operation.
