Operating Your AVC-2500

Congratulations, now that you have completed the setup procedures, you are ready to sit back and really enjoy your AVC-2500. The following are typical operating instructions for viewing a film, listening to music, using the tuner, and operating the remote zone.

Viewing a Film

1.Turn the power on to your AVC-2500, source equipment, and power amplifiers. If you have incorporated DC triggering, the AVC-2500 may turn on the other equipment for you.

2.Using the direct access Source buttons on the remote or the Source button and Rotary Knob on the front panel, select the video source input that you want to view.

3.If you have preprogrammed the digital input and processing mode into the input source, the AVC-2500 will automatically recall these assigned settings for you. Otherwise, you will need to manually select them. (See the setup section above for details on programming individual input sources, digital input, and ASP mode programming.)

4.Load a DVD, laser disc, or videotape into your video component, and start the film.

5.Adjust the Volume control to a level that suits your taste, and enjoy the film.
