If you wish to make recordings to a recording device such as a cassette deck
or VCR, connect the record outputs to the record inputs of that device. Be
sure to tell the AVP2 that the device is capable of recording in the define
buttons
menu, within the setup menu, during initial setup of the system. (See
The Setup Menu.)
12 DIGITAL OUTPUT
The (
S/PDIF on an RCA) digital output allows you to distribute a digital source
in its original, unprocessed digital form. For example, if you had another
multichannel system elsewhere in the home, you could forward a Dolby
Digital bitstream to the other system from this one—running a single digital
cable instead of five or six analog cables for surround sound applications.
Alternatively, you could use this digital output to make digital recordings.
Note that this output will not contravene any copy protection systems, and
you should only make copies of recordings for which you have legal rights
to do so. (You always read the FBI warning at the beginning of movies,
right?)
The digital output always tracks whatever source is selected in on the main
path
(as opposed to the remote/record path).

14 PHASTLink™ CONTROL PORTS
These two communications ports provide for sophisticated inter-component
communications between the AVP2 and certain compatible Proceed prod-
ucts. To access the built-in intelligence of these communications capabilities,
simply “daisy chain” your various PHAST™-capable Proceed components
together using eight conductor “straight-through” cables with RJ-45 connec-
tors at both ends. You can buy these cables from your dealer as an acces-
sory item.
Thus, if the only other Proceed PHAST-compatible component you have is
the Five Channel Amplifier, you should connect one of the AVP’s comm
ports to the power amplifier’s comm port using a “straight-through” RJ-45
cable. If there are additional Proceed PHAST-compatible components in the
system, daisy chain them in a similar way, going from comm port to comm
port.
The RJ-45 cable needed for the connection between the AVP2 and other
PHAST-compatible Proceed components may be purchased from your Pro-
ceed dealer. It may also be easily and inexpensively made to length using
two RJ-45 connectors and the appropriate length (up to 100 feet/30 meters)
of RJ-45 (flat, eight conductor) cable.
