Renaming Inputs

You can rename each of AVC-2500’s twelve Source inputs (Audio/Video 1-6, Audio 1-6) from a built-in library of popular source component names or you can create your own names. For example, you can program your Audio/Video 1 Source to read DVD PLAYER, your Audio/Video 2 Source to read VCR 1, and your Audio 2 Source to read CASSETTE DECK on the front panel and on-screen displays.

To Rename Inputs from the Built-in Library:

1.Select the source you want to program.

2.Press and hold the Setup/Trim button on the remote control until SOURCE SETUP appears on the front panel or on-screen display.

3.Press the Tune f or e buttons until LABEL and the [CURRENT SOURCE NAME] appears in the displays.

4.Use the Volume g or h buttons to scroll through the names in the menu.

5.Stop on the name you want the input to be called.

6.Press the Tune f button to advance to the next SOURCE SETUP procedure, or press and hold the Setup/Trim button for three seconds to return to normal operation.

To Create a New Name or Radio Station Call-Letters

1.Select the source you want to program or tune to a radio station to program call letters.

2.Press and hold the Setup/Trim button on the remote control until SOURCE SETUP appears on the front panel or on-screen display.

3.Press the Tune < and > buttons until LABEL and the [CURRENT SOURCE NAME] OR PRESET [NUMBER] appears in the displays.

4.Press Mem/Enter. A cursor will appear under the first letter of the current name.

5.Use either the Volume g or h buttons to scroll through the alphanumeric menu.

6.Stop on the letter or number that you want for the first character.

7.Press the Tune f and e buttons to move to the next or previous character.

8.Repeat steps 2 through 7 until you have created the new name of up to eight characters.

9.Press Mem/Enter to store the new name.

10.Press the Tune e button to advance to the next SOURCE SETUP procedure, or press and hold the Setup/Trim button for three seconds to return to normal operation.

When you create new names, you are only adding to the library of the input you were programming. Over-written names are not erased and will remain in the original library.

Assigning Component Video Switching to Source Inputs

While in Source Setup you can assign any of the six Audio/Video source inputs to receive its video signal from either of the two Component Video inputs. The AVC-2500 then switches the assigned Component Video in addition to composite and S-video. Since you can assign component video to any of the six Audio/Video inputs, this effectively expands the video switching capability from six to eight.

To Program a Component Video Input to the Source Input:

1.Select the source you want to program.

2.Press and hold the Setup/Trim button on the remote control until SOURCE SETUP appears on the front panel or on-screen display.

3.Press the Tune f or e buttons until COMP VIDEO: YES OR NO appears in the displays.

4.Use either the Volume g or h buttons to choose between INPUT 1, INPUT 2, OR NONE.

5.Press the Tune e button to advance to the next SOURCE SETUP procedure, or press and hold the Setup/Trim button for three seconds to return to normal operation.
