AUDIO VIDEO ALIGNMENT DELAY
QUICK START
Look around to make sure no one catches you reading this. You’re aware this is the manual aren’t you? Wow! Most
people only get about this far in a manual, but there are a few important things you should know about the AVA 22. So
please keep reading. These few points are summarized in this Cliff Note version of the manual.
The first time you power the AVA 22 it is in
BYPASS
, and functions like an expensive wire. This is useful for initial
troubleshooting and allows for convenient verification of signal flow. Punching the
BYPASS
buttons and extinguishing
their LEDs will activate the Delays.
ADJUSTING SENSITIVITY—
First apply a signal with nominal input level and adjust the
SENSITIVITY
controls so
the red
CLIP LED
s just light, then back off so the LEDs do not turn on, even with high signal peaks.
SETTING DELAY—
Now that the input signal is calibrated, select
LINK
mode (
LINK LED
on
) for stereo operation,
or turn off
LINK
mode for dual mono operation. Adjust the up/down buttons until the LED display shows the desired
Delay.
STORING DELAY—
Press the
STORE
button (the
STORE LED
turns
off
). This stores the current Delay values into
each Channel’s current Memory (A or B). The current Memory is indicated by the lit
MEMORY LED
for each Channel.
Both Channel’s current Delay values are stored with each press of the
STORE
button. The broadcast Mode (NTSC or PAL/
SECAM) is also stored with the Delay value.
RECALLING DELAY—
To recall a stored Memory, press
RECALL
. Each press of this button alternately recalls
stored Memories (A then B then A…).
Never connect anything except an approved Rane power supply to the thing that looks like a telephone jack on the
rear of the AVA 22.
This is an AC input and requires special attention if you do not have a power supply exactly like the
one originally packed with your unit. See the full explanation of the power supply requirements elsewhere in this manual.
Note:
To avoid audible anomalies, the AVA 22 bypasses the audio signal any time the Delay value is changed.
