Automatically
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. Load a CD or other media, and press Play.
3. Press the Auto Audio button on the remote control. The AVC-2500 automatically detects
the input source where the digital or analog audio is playing and stops at that input. If
there are two audio sources playing simultaneously, the AVC-2500 selects the sources in
numerical order (Audio 1, Audio 2, etc.). Should it select the incorrect input, simply
press Auto Audio 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.)
4. Adjust the Volume control to a level that suits your taste and enjoy the music.
Viewing Video with a Different Audio Source
The AVC-2500 allows you to view the video output of one source component while listening
to the audio output of another source component. This feature makes it possible to view and
listen to simulcast sporting events, or listening to background music while watching home
movies.
To view video with a different audio source:
1. Select the Video input source on the AVC-2500 that has the video source you want to
view using either the front panel or the remote control. This will switch to the preassigned
digital or analog audio with the video source.
2. Select the Audio input source separately using the front panel or the remote control. The
AVC-2500 will continue to display the video source that was already playing and the
newly selected audio source. Be aware that when you choose a different video source,
the video signal also changes.
