System Setup & Calibration
The PAV uses on screen menus to make the initial setup of this sophisticated
control center as simple as possible. In addition, there are a few on screen menus
which can be used occasionally, if you change your preferences as to how the
system should operate.
Operating the On Screen
Menus with the Remote
There are five keys on the remote control which are used to “navigate” through
the on screen menu system.
menu: when no on screen menu is displayed, pressing this button will
bring up the main menu. Once within the menu hierarchy, pressing
menu will exit the level you are currently on without making any per-
manent changes, returning you to the next-higher level (much like “Can-
cel” on a computer). When at the top level, or main menu, the menu
button will take you out of the on screen menu system.
master: conveniently placed adjacent to the volume +/– buttons, the
master button serves the “select” function when in the on screen menus.
Pressing the master button will move the cursor indicating the currently-
selected menu item on to the next item in the list. At the end of a list,
master will move you back to the first item on the list.
volume + and volume –: once a menu item has been selected by the
master button, pressing either of these buttons will act upon that menu
item. These actions will either increment a setting up or down directly,
or take you to the next level of the menu structure so that further action
can be taken.
enter: any changes made to the settings within the on screen menu sys-
tem must be explicitly entered in order to be saved for future use. This
extra step minimizes the chance of unintended changes being made by
those who are casually exploring the menu system. If a change is made
and not entered, the PAV will display last chance to saved changed
items
on screen. Press enter to save your change, or menu to exit with-
out saving any changes.
Operating the On Screen
Menus from the Front Panel
All of the above functions can also be accessed from the front panel of the PAV
(especially helpful if the remote control is not available).
recall: the menu function is provided by the recall button. In order to
activate the on screen menus rather than simply recalling the reference
level settings, press and hold the recall button until the front panel lights
are turned off (about five seconds). From this point on until you exit the
menu system, the recall button will perform exactly as the menu button
on the remote control would.
master: the front panel master button is also conveniently placed adja-
cent to the volume +/– buttons, and serves the same purpose as the one
on the remote control.
volume +/–: the front panel volume +/– buttons also operate in the
same fashion as their counterparts on the remote control.
standby: the enter function is provided by the standby button on the
front panel (when the PAV is in menu mode). It is deliberately set apart
from all of the other menu-related buttons to make permanent changes
of system parameters a deliberate act.
