tip: saving input level settings
As a shortcut, you may save the current
input level
setting for the currently-
selected input by
pressing and holding
the
input level button
for a few sec-
onds. This serves as a shortcut to the menu item for the current input.
12
MUTE
Pressing the
mute
button will reduce the main output level of the preampli-
fier by a user-modifiable amount, ranging from 0.5 to 60 decibels. Pressing
the
mute
button a second time without adjusting the volume will return it
to its previous setting.
If you adjust the volume with either the front panel buttons or the remote
control while in the mute mode, the preamplifier will adjust its volume
from the muted volume
and
disengage
the mute function.
The factory default setting of the mute circuit is -20 dB. (See
Using the
AVP2
for information on changing the factory default setting.)

POWER BUTTON AND INDICATOR
Assuming that the Audio Video Preamplifier’s power cord is connected to
AC power, pressing this latching power button connects the AVP2 to the AC
mains and turns on the unit. When power is restored after an interruption,
the AVP2 will enter
standby
after a few moments’ delay to allow its circuits
to stabilize.
If AC power is being supplied to the Audio Video Preamplifier, the LED
above the
power
button is amber. Naturally, when AC power is discon-
nected, the LED is
off
.
14
MASTER
Normally, any adjustment made with the
volume knob
will be applied to all
loudspeakers equally, including Center, Rears, and Subwoofer(s), thus raising
or lowering the overall volume without changing the
relative balance
of the
various speakers. This is the default mode of operation for the volume con-
trol, to which the AVP2 automatically returns after you make other adjust-
ments (after a brief delay).
If you have changed the
relative
volume by adjusting
balance
,
center
,
rear
,
or
subs
, and wish to return more quickly to the normal
master
volume
control, pressing this button will override the usual delay and return you
immediately to
master
volume control operation.
15
BALANCE
Pressing this button followed by adjusting the
volume knob
will alter the
relative volume of the Front Left and Front Right speakers. The direction of
the perceived image shift is indicated by the arrowhead indicators in the
main display, as well as by the
on screen display.
When the balance is “cen-
tered” (favoring neither side over the other), the display will read
< – – EVEN – – >
.
Turning the knob clockwise in the balance mode will shift the image to the
right; turning the knob counterclockwise will shift the image to the left.
