GETTING A/V SYSTEM CONTROLLER STATUS
If you are not in a menu, pressing ENTER will bring up a two-line status message. This display will also pop up
automatically whenever you change sources or whenever the source information changes. The video type is very
important if you are using mixed composite and S-video sources since it will tell you how you must set your
monitor for the best picture. The bitstream and channel information is particularly important with DVDs since they
may contain multiple soundtracks. When you initially start the DVD you may get a Dolby Digital 2.0 soundtrack. To
get the best possible sound, you may have to use the DVD player’s menu system to get to a Dolby Digital or DTS
5.1 channel soundtrack. If you ever need to call B&K regarding a problem with your A/V System Controller be sure
to note the status display before calling.
