1 Remote control receiver. This is positioned behind the FMJ

3 Effect. Selects between the available DSP effects modes for two-

modes for the current source.
5 Phones. This socket accepts headphones with an impedance rating
between 32Ω and 600Ω, fitted with a 1/4-inch stereo jack plug.

 as a volume control, to adjust the output to the power
amplifier(s) and headphones connected to the AV8.
 when used in the menus with the 6 EFFECT button and 5 MODE

processor. When first turned on, the LED is yellow, to indicate that the
AV8 is ‘initialising’. This changes to green when the AV8 is fully powered
and ready. Red indicates that the AV8 is in standby mode.

equalisation is currently active.
