• mono on front — the same as mono on center, above, but the
sound is reproduced through all three front speakers.
• 2-ch/surround off — limits the system to two-channel stereo us-
ing only the Left and Right speakers (and subwoofer, if you have
one).
When decoding Dolby Digital™ 5.1-channel source material, clicking the
Surround mode button will toggle you between the two available Dolby
Digital modes:
•
Dolby Digital: straight Dolby Digital decoding without further
processing.
• Dolby Digital + THX: the same as above, but with the additional
post-processing offered by THX 5.1; usually the best choice for
Dolby Digital-encoded movie soundtracks.
In addition, when decoding DTS™ source material, clicking the Surround
mode button will cycle you through the available DTS modes:
• DTS: straight DTS decoding without further processing
• DTS + THX: DTS decoding, plus the additional post-processing of-
fered by THX 5.1; usually the best choice for DTS-encoded move
soundtracks
7 DISPLAY INTENSITY
Pressing the display intensity button will cycle the AVP2’s display through
the four available levels of brightness: high, medium, low, and off. For ex-
ample, during bright daytime hours you may wish to use high; in the
evening, in a dimly-lit room, low is probably easier on the eyes.
8 RECALL
Pressing the recall button restores the AVP2 to its calibrated reference set-
tings for the relative output of all speakers. This is especially helpful after
having experimented with various settings of balance, center, rear, or sub,
or when comparing a modified surround default to “flat” balance, since one
touch of a button will restore your preamplifier to its original state (as de-
termined by the setup calibrations stored in memory; see System Setup &
Calibration and Using the AVP2 for more details).
9 MAIN DISPLAY
The main display provides information pertaining to the operation of the
AVP2 including selected source, surround mode, and volume levels. At all
volumes above a relatively quiet background level, and in all modes, the
volume control enjoys a resolution of 0.5 dB. Thus a change of 9.5 decibels
would be indicated by a change of 9.5 in the display.
