Muting the Volume
Use this control to turn the sound off momentarily, such as when interrupted
by a phone call.
To mute the main volume:
1. Press the MUTE button on the remote control or the front
panel.
The sound will be muted and the On/Standby/Mute indicator will
blink continuously. The word MUTE replaces the volume level on the
Front Panel Display and OSD.
DVD DOLBY EX
OPTICAL1 MUTE
Note that the volume level in the second zone is not affected.
2. Press either MUTE button again to restore the volume to its
previous level.
The On/Standby/Mute indicator will go out.
Changing the Surround Mode
Use these controls to change the surround mode from the default selected
during Input Conguration.
1. Press one of the Surround mode buttons (2, DTS, CR SURR
or STEREO) on the remote or the < and > SURR MODE buttons
on the front panel.
When the P-2000 begins to decode a digital bitstream, the Front Panel
Display and OSD will show what type it is (PCM, S/PDIF) and the
number of channels (2/2, 2/0, 3/2.1, etc.) contained in the signal. An
example is shown below:
DVD S/PDIF
INPUT TYPE: 3/2.1
2. Press the button again to cycle through the available surround
modes.
Only those modes that can be used with the currently selected source
will be shown as you cycle through the choices. Your selection will
appear above the volume level on the Front Panel Display and OSD.
DVD DTS-ES
OPTICAL1 00dB
Use the information on page 12-13 to learn more about the available sur-
round mode options.
Surround Data Format Lock
The P-2000 automatically sets the surround format based on the signal
it receives from the selected source. To avoid the slight delay occasionally
encountered in this type of Auto Select process, you can choose to override
the Auto Data Format circuit by following the procedure below.
To lock a specic surround mode:
1. Press the desired Surround Mode button (2, DTS, CR SURR
or STEREO) on the remote control repeatedly to cycle through
the available processing options.
Your selection will appear on the Front Panel Display and OSD.
DVD DOLBY D
OPTICAL1 00dB
2. Press the same button for ve (5) seconds to choose from
among three data format options for digital audio sources.
The following is shown on the Front Panel Display and the OSD:
DVD DOLBY D
DATA FORMAT : AUTO
Auto is the Default setting for this option, and means that when the
unit detects the special code imbedded within certain data streams
such as Dolby Digital or DTS it will set itself to properly decode that
type of incoming signal.
3. Use the < or > buttons to select one of the Data Format options.
You can select either Dolby D(igital), DTS, or PCM (for Pro Logic II),
as the default format. If you do this, signals that are not in the selected
format won’t be recognized. Therefore, we recommend that you leave
the system in Auto Mode unless you’re sure that you wish to use the
selected mode exclusively.
The Data Format menu will disappear automatically approximately
10 seconds after you make your selection.
Bypass Setting
When playing an analog input source you may bypass the P-2000’s digital
processing system and listen to the source in “pure” two-channel stereo.
To change to Stereo bypass mode:
1. Press the BYPASS button on the remote or the STEREO BYPASS
button on the front panel.
The incoming source signal will be passed through the unit without any
digital processing. If the currently selected source input is digital (Coaxial
or Optical), the P-2000 will automatically change to the analog input for that
source (assuming that the source is connected there) and show the informa-
tion on the Front Panel Display and OSD. An example is shown below:
DVD BYPASS
ANALOG 00dB
2. Press the button again to return the signal path to the digital system.
