A Quick Start For CD
There is a reasonable chance that either your CD transport or your DVD player
may have a different set of output connectors than what we have assumed it
might have in the “quickest start” section. In that case, setting up the AVP2 to take
advantage of your particular equipment is still quite simple, though it will require
a couple extra steps.
1 MAKE THE PHYSICAL CONNECTIONS; TURN EVERYTHING ON
Connect the outputs of the AVP2 to your power amplifier(s), as indicated
(front, rear, center, sub); connect a CD transport to any matching digital in-
put connector on the AVP2, noting which connector you use; ensure that
the main video output of the AVP2 is connected to your television (so you
can see the on screen menus). Once this is done, turn on all the compo-
nents involved (CD transport, AVP2, television, amplifiers). Turn the amps
on last (always a good habit with any audio system).
2 PRESS AND HOLD THE CD BUTTON ON THE FRONT OF THE AVP2
This shortcut of pressing and holding an input button will take you directly
to the
define button menu for that button.
3 TELL THE AVP2 WHICH CONNECTOR YOU USED FOR YOUR CD
TRANSPORT IN STEP 1
We have no way of knowing what sort of digital interface your particular
CD transport might use (AES/EBU? RCA? BNC? EIA-J?), but logically, you’d like to
be able to use your main CD transport with the button labeled cd. This
step allows you to use whatever connector you need to use in conjunction
with the button you’d like to use.
Using the volume ± button on the remote (or the volume knob), move the
arrow cursor down to the line that reads “audio connectors” and press en-
ter
(or mute on the front panel). Press volume – to move to 1: Digital 2 and
press enter (mute) again. Then move the arrow cursor down to the line that
defines which connector is being used, and press enter (mute) again. With
the cursor changed to an arrow within a diamond (
→
) instead of an ar-
row, the volume ± buttons or the knob will allow you to select whatever
digital input connector you used in Step 1. When done, press enter (mute)
again to save your change.
4 PRESS MENU THREE TIMES TO EXIT THE MENU SYSTEM, AND ENJOY
Make sure the volume is on at a low level before you fire up your CD
player, press the cd button, and raise the volume to a comfortable level. Ac-
cording to the factory defaults (which you can easily change), cd is preset
to come on in 2-channel/surround off. You should properly calibrate the
system so all speakers are playing at the proper volumes before you listen
critically to multichannel audio. Performing this calibration only takes only a
few more minutes, but you should read up on it a bit first. You can enjoy
the AVP2 in regular stereo until then.
