Anthem AVM 2, Руководство по эксплуатации, Страница: 26 / 70

This section will familiarize you with operating the AVM 2 from the Front Panel keypad buttons. Section 6
outlines how to operate the AVM 2 from the Remote Control.
5.1 ZONE / PATH
The AVM 2 is best understood as a product that contains two components (or ‘personalities’) in one chassis.
• It is first of all a state-of-the-art Music and Home Theater Preamp/Surround Sound Processor (SSP)
and Tuner designed to provide exceptional high-end performance ( MAIN ) with a completely
independent record path selector ( REC ).
• It is also a high-end Whole House Entertainment Control Center that allows you to direct and adjust
the output of a variety of source components to other rooms in your home ( ZONE2 ).
ZONE / PATH best describes how this tremendous flexibility of the AVM 2 is arranged. Simply think of
ZONE / PAT H as a the method of controlling each of the AVM 2’s operating personalities, in any combination you
wish – both its
“Music & Home Theater SSP” p e r s o n a l i t y, or its “ C o n t rol Center for Other Room(s)” p e r s o n a l i t y.
5.2 POWER ON/OFF
When turned on, the AVM 2 will have all of the same settings it had when it was last turned off, except for
Volume – which comes on at the pre-programmed value (see section 7.4.6).
• MAIN ON: There are various of ways of switching MAIN ON:
- Press MAIN in the POWER group (fig. right).
- Press MAIN in the ZONE / PATH group (fig. below).
- If ZONE2 is OFF, press any SOURCE , FM/AM preset ( 1 through 6 ), or TUNE
to immediately power-up MAIN.
• MAIN OFF: Press MAIN in the POWER group.
• ZONE2 ON: Press ZONE2 in the POWER group or in the ZONE / PATH group.
• ZONE2 OFF: Press ZONE2 in the POWER group.
• REC ON: Press REC in the ZONE / PATH group. MAINwill turn on simultaneously. The Front Panel
Display will show REC Path information and, without any further changes, it will revert to MAIN after
a few seconds (see highlighted notation in section 5.3).
• REC OFF: Press MAIN in the POWER group. This turns off MAIN and REC simultaneously.
5.3 PATH SELECTION
The Path facility routes SOURCES to the MAIN Path, ZONE2 Path or RECORD Path.
• MAIN Path: As the name suggests, the MAIN Path routes the Audio / Video Sources connected t o
the AVM 2 to your Main listening/viewing room. The M A I N Path has Video outputs for your MAIN
TV Monitor and 6-channel (5.1) Analog Audio outputs to drive MAIN amplifiers.
• ZONE2 Path: Allows you to simultaneously route any Audio / Video
Source to other listening/viewing rooms in your home. The chosen
source in the ZONE2 Path can be either the same or different from the
source selected in the MAIN Path. The ZONE2 Path has Video outputs
for a ZONE2 TV Monitor and 2-channel Analog Audio outputs to drive
ZONE2 Amplifier(s). You can only listen to Analog Inputs or a ‘copy’
of the MAIN digital or analog source (see section 5.5.1).
• REC Path: Allows you to simultaneously re c o rd Audio / Video sources independently of what is
selected in the other paths. For example, while watching a DVD in the MAIN Path, you could play a CD
in ZONE2, and re c o rd an FM program in the REC Path. Altern a t i v e l y, if re c o rding is of no concern, the
REC Path output can be connected to a Receiver and Speakers to create a third listening zone. REC will
also route a selected digital source to the digital REC OUT, however the digital REC OUT will not pro v i d e
any output if the REC selected source is analog. As with Z O N E2, REC only operates with an analog input
or by ‘copying’ MAIN (see section 5.5.1).
Note: The REC Path output level is fixed. If it is being used as REC-Zone3, an Integrated Amp or similar
device is required to control the volume. (REC Path controls both Digital and Analog REC OUTS).
