Harman Kardon AVP-1A Owners Manual - Page 19

AVP1A Front Panel Display The display system used on the AVP1A uses a combination of light emitting didoes (LED) and liquid crystal display (LCD) with a wide viewing angle. PRIMARY FUNCTIONS. Surround operating modes, volume settings, time delay settings, and panorama settings, are displayed on the liquid crystal panel. The selected surround operating mode is always displayed. Changes in volume (front or back channels), time delay settings, and panorama settings, are momentarily displayed (about ten seconds) on the second line of the liquid crystal display. INPUT LEVEL. The input gain control on the front panel is adjusted to illuminate the Input Calibrate display to 0 dB. Then, the channel output trim controls on the back of the AVP1A are individually adjusted to to achieve proper output levels with sufficient headroom and freedom from amplifier or speaker overload. OUTPUT VOLUME. Volume settings have a range from -80 to + 15. These settings do not necessarily relate to dB equivalents. Normally, the output volume level is set to the 0 REF setting when playing reference "0 dB" level signals from videodiscs and VHS HiFi video cassettes. AUDIO SIGNAL DELAY. Delay settings can be adjusted from 15 to 30 ms in the Pro Logic or THX Cinema modes, harman/kartion -A VP/A 5e,r, 1.4, ra P,PSSCI I-Vmp.

Changes in audio signal delay settings are automatically retained in the memory of the AVP1A. PANORAMA. Panorama settings may be adjusted from - 50 to + 50 and will vary to taste depending on the individual recording. Panorama cannot be engaged in the Pro Logic or THX Cinema modes. Panorama settings cannot be stored because they are also program source dependent. SECONDARY FUNCTIONS. These include: Center Channel On or Off, Sibilant and Re-Equalization (Re-Eq) Filters, Mute, Source, Record Select, Center Front Boost, are displayed by LEDs behind the front panel window. The status of functions including Center Front On/Off, Noise Sequencer, Input Balance, are displayed by LEDs directly above the button which turns the function on or off. The Re-Eq and Center Front Channel On functions may be selected in all music modes. Center front channel is Off when Chamber or Orchestra surround modes are selected but it can be engaged, if desired. Re-Eq is only selected automatically in the THX Cinema mode but it may be disengaged in the THX Cinema mode or engaged in other modes. Because the need of Re-Eq in non-THX modes is program source dependent, it cannot be stored in other modes. 44. .rva.e• to e•PUT CTAKM SASS EC:44.ER Arlfri.VOLL 16
