multichannel THX The AVP2 also allows you to specify, on a source-by-source basis, whether you
would like to apply THX Ultra II post processing to any multichannels signals
(like Dolby Digital or DTS) that are received from this source component. You
can always toggle THX on and off using the special button on the remote (see
The Special Menu for more details)—this setting merely determines the default
settings you would like to use most of the time.
Since the only multichannel signal likely to be received from a CD player is a
DTS music recording, you would probably want to
force off THX when using
your CD player. Other options include force on and use default, the latter indicat-
ing that the AVP2 should continue doing whatever it would have been doing
prior to receiving the multichannel signal.
is it a recording device? If this component were capable of recording (a CD-R, tape deck, VCR, etc.), and
assuming you wanted to make recordings through the system, you would need to
make another connection to provide for making those recordings. Specifically, you
would need to use the record output on the AVP2 to feed the recording device a
signal to be recorded.
Moreover, the system needs to know which sources are hooked up in this way to
ensure that you do not accidently send a source back to itself to be recorded—a
situation that can produce unpleasant and even speaker-threatening feedback
loops. For these reasons, we need to let the system know which of our sources
are connected to a record output.

Your choices are no, warn, and prohibit. For a CD transport, you’ll probably
leave it at no. If you were setting up a cassette deck, you should choose
prohibit, which would ensure that you do not accidently send a source
back to itself to be recorded.
The warn option is for sophisticated users who understand the potential
dangers of feedback loops and how to avoid them, but wish to have the
ability to set up such a potential situation for a specific reason. In this case,
the AVP2 will put up an on screen warning about the record loop, but al-
low it to be selected nonetheless.
Note: We do not recommend the use of the “warn” feature for most
users or situations, but provide it to solve specific problems
sometimes encountered with outboard equalizers, etc.
how many input connectors? How many physical connections does this component require? (A stereo pair of
analog signals is considered “one connection” for the purposes of this discus-
sion.) In the case of a CD transport, the answer is easy. All you have is a digital
output to accommodate, so the answer is one. A laserdisc player is the most com-
plicated, since it might have three sets of signals: RF Dolby Digital (AC-3), normal
