In reality, this is how the unit is shipped from the factory anyway, but while
you are here you may as well see what your options are by using the
vol-
ume +/–
buttons to cycle through the choices. Choose
audio
before you
finish up, or press
menu
to cancel without making any changes.
Had you chosen
a/v
rather than
audio
, the subsequent menu would have been
updated to include video-related setup items. Since you don’t need them here,
they are not displayed. (We will get to that when we run through setting up a
laserdisc player, a bit later.)
choosing a surround mode
The PAV/PDSD system also lets you choose a default surround mode that will
automatically be chosen whenever you select this source. For example, if you find
yourself using the
stereo surround
mode for most of your music listening, you
can automate your preferences.
Note: These “surround modes” refer to what the system does when
given a two-channel input signal, whether analog or digital.
Pro Logic is one such two-channel signal as it enters the
Digital Surround Decoder, one that has been encoded to
provide multiple channels when properly decoded.
Discrete multichannel signals (such as those provided by
Dolby Digital, DTS, or MPEG/Musicam) will override these
surround preferences and always be reproduced in their
intended multichannel forms.
If you already know what your preference is, you might as well program it in
now. If you aren’t sure, we suggest leaving the default surround mode for your CD
transport as
stereo surround
for now. You can always change it later.

Of course, during day to day operation, you can easily override this default
selection by simply pressing the
mode
button on either the remote control
or the front panel at any time. Doing so will cycle you through the available
(two-channel) surround modes.
is it a recording device?
If this component were capable of recording (a CD-R, tape deck, VCR, etc.), and
assuming you wanted to make recordings through the system, you would need to
make another connection to provide for making those recordings. Specifically, you
would need to use one of the record outputs on the PAV to feed the recording
device a signal to be recorded.
Moreover, the system needs to know which sources are hooked up in this way to
ensure that you do not accidently send a source back to itself to be recorded—a
