you get the maximum pleasure from your new equipment. Make sure the
unit is plugged in and the Main Power switch on the rear panel of the P-2000
is in the On position, as outlined in the “System Setup” section.
Direct Operation
In addition to entering settings into the P-2000 using the Menu System, as
described in the System Setup section of this manual, many of the controls
may be changed directly at any time using the remote control or front panel
buttons. To change one of these settings (for example, Channel Trim), simply
press the appropriate button on the remote or front panel and use the naviga-
tion buttons as required to change the settings.

The FRONT PANEL DISPLAY will light up and the Standby indicator
will turn off.
Alternatively, pressing any of the source selection buttons (DVD,

ing the AUD button) before the remote control POWER button will
turn off the unit.

switch the audio output to the new source, while leaving the previously
selected video input active.
