flash yellow on the front panel, indicating a conflict on the main
path. The PAV will also display the words tape loop on screen as
a warning.
Tip: To avoid any possibility of running into a “Tape Loop” problem
(where the PAV prevents you from choosing what you want, in
order to protect the system from possible damage), simply
select a non-recording source such as TV on the record path.
17 STANDBY BUTTON
Pressing this button places the PAV in standby mode, turning off the display,
disengaging all control functions, and turning off all outputs. The internal
circuitry remains on in order to maximize performance on demand by vir-
tue of all circuits remaining thermally stable. Lest you think this wasteful,
you should know that the PAV draws less than power than a typical light
bulb, whether in standby or fully on. The benefits of having it always
warmed up and ready to go (and always able to respond to remote control
commands) far outweigh the small amount of power used. We recommend
using the rear panel power switch only when you will be away from the
house for extended period of time, such as during a vacation.
There is another good reason for using the PAV’s standby mode. The PAV
will generate a full-frame black video signal at its video outputs during
standby, rather than passing no signal at all. This is particularly helpful with
many projections televisions, since it gives the projector a “sync” signal to
lock onto without calling for any light to be generated. This feature allows
the projector to remain fully warmed up at all times without risking dam-
age to the phosphors which create the projected light.
