AVP-18 FAQ

Why doesn’t the AVP-18 provide any analog video or audio inputs?

NuForce believes that a simple design is able to provide the shortest audio signal path and lowest interference, and therefore the AVP-18 was conceived as a 
purely audio-centric HDMI processor. In doing this, the AVP-18 simply strips out the audio data embedded in the HDMI signal for decoding. The video data is 
strictly a ‘pass-through’, and as such, it cannot encode analog audio or video signals into the HDMI output.

Does the AVP-18 support 3D video?

3D video support is strictly related to video. The AVP-18 will pass through any relevant 3D video signal to the TV.

Does the AVP-18 support 4K video?

Presently there exists no consumer 4K video content. In the case where ‘4K video’ is a line doubling feature built into a given high-end TV/projector, the signal 
format carried by HDMI remains 1080P and is therefore compatible with the AVP-18. In other instances, certain high-end BD players may have a built-in video 
scalar and can output a 4K HDMI signal. In such cases, their 4K HDMI outputs are not compatible with the AVP-18.

I am overwhelmed by the features of the AVP-

18. What’s the simplest way to start using it?

Simply connect the input and output cables following the User’s Guide. Then run the Auto Room EQ. The whole process takes about 20-minutes. Follow the 
instructions on the TV screen (OSD). Avoid blocking the speakers and don’t walk in the room while the EQ process is taking place. Make sure to save the settings 
after the Auto Room EQ.
