Sleep Timer
The Sleep button sets the AVC-2500 to automatically turn itself off. Each press of the Sleep
button adds 15 minutes to the sleep timer, up to a maximum of 90 minutes. During the last
two minutes of the sleep timer, the volume level gradually drops before the AVC-2500 turns
off. You can adjust the speed at which the volume ramps down in the setup menu.
Source
The source buttons provide direct access to each of the twelve inputs of the AVC-2500. The
source buttons are labeled Aud (Audio) 1-6 and Vid (Video) 1-6.

Pressing any of these numerical preset buttons activates the tuner even if it was not already
on, and selects the radio station you had preset to that number. To access preset numbers
above 10, press and hold the numerical button down for two seconds to add 10 to the number.
For example, to access preset 15, press and hold down numerical button number 5 for two
seconds and preset 15 will be selected.
