11 Product Serial Number
Write this number in the space provided on page 4 of this manual for
future reference.
12 Audio Source Input jacks (see page 19-20)
Use these inputs for connection to analog audio sources such as a CD player.
One in/out tape path is provided for connection to an audio recorder.
13 Video Source Input jacks (see page 19-20)
Use these inputs for connection to the composite video and analog audio
output from sources such as a DVD or LD player, satellite receiver, cable
box, PVR or other video source. Note that when the Component Video
inputs are used, connect the analog audio outputs of the source to the
DVD or Video 1 jacks, as appropriate.
14 VCR jacks (see page 20)
Use these audio input and output jacks to connect a VCR to the P-2000.
15 Multi-zone Output jacks (see page 21)
Use these jacks to supply the analog stereo audio output to an optional
audio amplier used to power speakers in the remote zone.
16 Composite Monitor Output jack (see page 20)
Connect this output to the composite video input of your monitor or
other video display device.
17 Amplier Output jacks (see page 21)
Use the seven audio channel output jacks to connect the P-2000 to an
external power amplier. The eighth jack supplies the low frequency
output to a powered subwoofer or external subwoofer amplier.
18 5.1 Input Bass Management Control (see page 34)
Setting this switch in the ON position activates a dedicated 80Hz High
Pass Filter for the 5.1 channel direct input, except the subwoofer. The bass
signals from the 5 satellite channels of this input will be summed and
sent on to the subwoofer output at all times, so this switch only affects
whether or not the bass signals are sent on to the satellites as well. Set-
ting the switch in the down position turns off the High Pass Filter and
sends full-range audio to all satellite channels. This Bass Management
Control is totally separate from the “normal” DSP Bass Management set
up using the front panel or remote control.
19 Coaxial Digital Input jacks (see page 19-20)
Use these inputs to connect the coaxial digital audio signal output from
such digital devices as CD, DVD or LD players. These inputs are fully
assignable.
20 Main Power switch (see page 22)
Turns the current to the P-2000 On or Off. Setting this button to the
On position (pushed in) supplies power to the unit, enabling use of the
Standby Power button on the front panel. When the Main Power switch
is in the Off position, current is cut off to the unit. This switch can be
used as a Vacation Switch to shut off the main power to the unit when
you will be gone for a long period of time.
21 AC Input (see page 21)
Use to connect the supplied AC power cord (see Precautions on page 2).
Front Panel and On Screen Display (OSD)
The FRONT PANEL DISPLAY and ON SCREEN DISPLAY (OSD) provide
visual feedback of the current settings, surround modes and congura-
tion menus of the unit. Information is constantly displayed on the front
panel whenever the P-2000 is turned on. To view the OSD, the unit must
be connected to your display device using either the composite or S-Video
MONITOR OUT jacks. The OSD will not operate through the component
video outputs of the P-2000. However, the OSD output will appear at both the
composite and S-Video jacks regardless of the type of source in use.
The information presented on the front panel is identical to that shown on
the OSD, allowing you to perform speaker settings, set up your input sources,
set the listening modes, and much more. You can choose how long the OSD
remains on the screen in the OSD setup menu and should you choose the 0
time option, the OSD will not appear on screen at all.
