8RECALL

Pressing the recall button restores the AVP to its calibrated reference set-

tings for the relative output of all speakers. This is especially helpful after

having experimented with various settings of balance, center, rear, or sub,

or when comparing a modified surround default to “flat” balance, since one

touch of a button will restore your preamplifier to its original state (as de-

termined by the setup calibrations stored in memory; see System Setup &

Calibration and Using the AVP for more details).

9 MAIN DISPLAY

The

main display provides information pertaining to the operation of the

AVP including selected source, surround mode, and volume levels. At all

volumes above a relatively quiet background level, and in all modes, the

volume control enjoys a resolution of 0.5 dB. Thus a change of 9.5 decibels

would be indicated by a change of 9.5 in the display.

The main display indicates the selected source and master volume by de-

fault, and can also display the following offsets when chosen: balance,

center, rear, sub. In addition, it can also display the input level (used in cali-

brating the input level to the analog to digital converter on analog sources

only) and the rear channel delay (in milliseconds). Right- and Left-facing

arrows are provided to indicate the direction of the balance offset. Finally,

the infrared receiver and transmitter for the remote control are positioned

on the left side of the main display.

10 DELAY

Pressing this button allows you to adjust (using the volume knob) the de-

lay

introduced to the signal being sent to the surround/rear channels, in

milliseconds (mS). This delay setting is in addition to the 15 msecs required

by Dolby Pro Logic when in the Pro Logic mode.

11 INPUT LEVEL

Pressing this button adjusts the input level of the selected signal to the ana-

log to digital converter. It may be used to compensate for variations in level

among sources. This adjustment is only important for analog sources (since

digital sources are effectively “level adjusted” when they were first converted

to digital).

If overload should occur, the AVP will indicate it by displaying ADC

CLIPPING

in the main display and on the screen. Pressing the input level

button followed by turning the volume knob counterclockwise will reduce

the input level by the number of decibels shown in the main display. Do

so until there is no indication of clipping, even during the loudest passages.
