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.
Numerical Presets 1-10
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.
Macros
The four macro buttons allow you to program a series of commands for one touch operation
of multiple remote commands.
Shift
This button accesses several “secondary” codes, such as separate on and off commands that
are used for advanced programming, but not in daily operation.
Light
The Light button illuminates all the remote control buttons for approximately 5 seconds.
The illumination makes it easier to see the buttons in a darkened room.
Zone
Press the Zone button to control the remote zone from the main zone. There is no need to
press the Zone button first when controlling the remote zone via an infrared repeater con-
nected to the Zone 2 External IR input. When Zone is selected, the On-Off switch, The
Volume
̅ ̅ ̅ ̅ ̅ and ̃ ̃ ̃ ̃ ̃ buttons and the Selector buttons operate in the same way as in the main
zone. Whenever you are controlling the remote zone, ZONE appears in the AVC-2500 front
panel display. Five seconds after making your adjustments to the remote Zone, the AVC-
2500 remote control reverts to Main Zone operation.

2500 including selected Input Source, ASP mode, Digital Input, and Volume level. In the
Tuner mode, the on-screen panel display indicates the selected Frequency and Preset number
in place of the Input Source and Digital Input type of video.
