REMOTE

CONTROL

FUNCTIONS

Mono

This

mode

generates

a

synthesized

surround

field

from

a

monaural

program

source.

A

pleasing,

spatial

effect

can

be

derived

from

older

music

recordings,

mono

TV

broadcasts

(particularly

sporting

events),

or

movies

mixed

with

mono

sound.

If

you

own

a

monophonic

VCR,

or

other

monophonic

audio

components,

the

connection

to

the

AVP2

must

be

completed

using

a

"Y"

connector.

The

"Y"

connector

provides

the

same

audio

signal

to

the

AVP2

stereo

inputs.

Bypass

The

Bypass

mode

allows

the

listener

to

electronically

remove

the

AVP2

surround

processing

circuits

from

the

audio

signal

path.

Only

the

left

and

right

front

speakers

and

subwoofer

remain

functional.

A

single

low

distortion

buffered

variable

gain

stage

of

proprietary

design

remains

in

the

audio

signal

path.

This

stage

is

extremely

"pure"

in

design

and

allows

remote

operation

of

system

volume

without

the

necessity

of

a

motorized

volume

control.

The

handheld

remote

supplied

with

the

AVP2

operates

reliably

up

to

25

feet

from

the

AVP2.

The

AVP2

will

accept

signals

from

the

hadheld

remote

over

an

angle

of

approximately

40

degrees.

The

handheld

remote

is

supplied

with

two

"AA"

batteries

factory

installed.

All

major

operating

functions

of

the

AVP2

can

be

accessed

from

the

handheld

remote

control.

In

addition,

overall

system

volume

and

front

-to

-surround

balance

can

be

controlled

from

the

handheld

remote

control.

The

Reset

button

is

located

between

buttons

which

raise

or

lower

the

volume

of

the

back

channels.

Pushing

the

Reset

button

restores

the

system

balance

to

the

original

factory

setting.

Because

of

variations

in

amplifier

sensitivity

and

speaker

efficiency,

it

may

be

necessary

to

recalibrate

the

Reset

settings.

The

Reset

setting

should

be

calibrated

when

initially

setting

up

the

system

levels

using

a

sound

level

meter

and

the

noise

sequencer

in

the

AVP2.
