Operating Your AVC-2500
Congratulations, now that you have completed the setup procedures, you are ready to sit
back and really enjoy your AVC-2500. The following are typical operating instructions for
viewing a film, listening to music, using the tuner, and operating the remote zone.
Viewing a Film
Manually
1. Turn the power on to your AVC-2500, source equipment, and power amplifiers. If you
have incorporated DC triggering, the AVC-2500 may turn on the other equipment for
you.
2. Using the direct access Source buttons on the remote or the Source button and Rotary
Knob on the front panel, select the video source input that you want to view.
3. If you have preprogrammed the digital input and processing mode into the input source,
the AVC-2500 will automatically recall these assigned settings for you. Otherwise, you
will need to manually select them. (See the setup section above for details on programming
individual input sources, digital input, and ASP mode programming.)
4. Load a DVD, laser disc, or videotape into your video component, and start the film.
5. Adjust the Volume control to a level that suits your taste, and enjoy the film.

2. Load a DVD, laser disc, or videotape, and start the film.
3. Press the Auto Video button on the remote control. The AVC-2500 automatically detects
the input source where the video is playing and stops at that input. If there are two video
sources playing simultaneously, the AVC-2500 selects the sources in numerical order
(Video 1, Video 2, etc.). Should it select the incorrect input, simply press Auto Video
again. If you have preprogrammed the digital input and processing mode into the input
source, the AVC-2500 will automatically recall these assigned settings for you. Otherwise,
you will need to manually select them. (See the setup section above for details on
programming individual input sources and digital input and ASP mode programming.)
