Anthem AVM 2, Руководство по эксплуатации

Страница: 27 / 70

The AVM 2 automatically re t u rns to MAIN a few seconds after an adjustment is made in either ZO N E2, REC,
or HE A D P H O N E* .
This is designed to prevent accidents. Say, for example someone enters the MAIN ro o m
and turns up the volume – if the AVM 2 stayed in Z O N E2, then the Z O N E2 volume would increase, not the
M A I N Volume. Since the person adjusting the volume doesn’t hear any change, chances are they would just
keep turning it up and wonder what’s wrong, until something potentially ‘bad’ happens in Z O N E2. If you’ve
seen “The Party” and remember the hilarious scene where Peter Sellers messes with the console, you
p robably understand. The time-out value can be changed in the Setup Menu (see section 7.4.9 menu 9.c).
* Except when MAIN is off or HEADPHONE is set to ‘Mute’ the
MAIN speakers (see section 7.4.3 menu 3.h)
5 . 4 MASTER CONTROL KNOB
Although it looks like a mere volume control, the MASTER
CONTROL KNOB is actually much more. It operates many
functions of the AVM 2, including Level / Bass / Treble and
Balance Adjustments, FM/AM Tuning, Effects Selection and
Setup Menu Adjustments. From this point in the Manual, the
MASTER CONTROL KNOB will be refer red to extensively.
5.5 SOURCE SELECTION
The AVM 2 can accommodate up to eight external sources plus
the built-in AM/FM Stereo Tuner.
The sources as listed on the front panel are: DISC1 / DIRECT,
DISC2, TAPE, FM/AM, TV, SAT, VCR, and AUX. You can also
rename these sources, which will then change the name on t h e
AVM 2’s LCD and On-Screen Displays (see section 7.4.1).
5.5.1 COPYING THE MAIN SOURCE TO ZONE2 or REC
This unique copy feature allows the output from the MAIN Source (e.g. DVD, CD, etc.) to also be directed to
ZONE2 and REC for both Analog and Digital Sources. For example, with only a Digital audio input connected
to the AVM 2, a CD Player could be playing in MAIN and the same audio output would be provided to ZONE2.
This way, you can listen to the same music in ZONE2 as you are playing in MAIN, or record the same music
in REC that you are playing in M A I N, all using the AVM 2’s internal high-end DAC for each copied Path.
Whenever you have selected a MAIN Source (Analog or Digital), that Source can be copied as follows:
• ZONE2: Press and hold ZONE2, and then press MAIN. (This will also work in reverse.)
• REC: Press and hold REC, and then press MAIN. (This too will work in reverse.)
When MAIN is copied, the display reads “–MAIN–> Z O N E2 ” or “–MAIN–> REC” after the selected sourc e ,
along with the information normally displayed for ZONE2 or REC (see highlight at the beginning of section 7.4.2).
Note: Other adjustments made to MAIN such as Bass, Treble, and Channel Balance are not copied.
5.5.2 DOWN-MIXING DOLBY DIGITAL 5.1 TO 2-CHANNEL STEREO
The Center and Surround Channels can be mixed into the Left and Right Channels for the ZONE2 and REC
outputs. This can either be done by the DVD Player itself or by the AVM 2:
• DVD Player Down-mix: If the Left/Right (L/R) analog outputs from your DVD Player are connected
to an AVM 2 Source’s Analog Inputs, but the Audio-In Format for that source is set to Digital (i.e.
DISC1 – see section 7.4.2), the AVM 2 will route this L/R analog audio signal to ZONE2 whenever the
ZONE2 Path and that Source are selected (this also applies to REC). The Center and Surround
