Note about Digital and Analog Inputs:
• You can change any input to Digital or Analog. Digital inputs use the AVM 20’s high-end digital to
analog converters and can be changed from RCA to Toslink or XLR connection. Analog inputs can
be set to Digital Signal Processing for bass management, bass/treble control, time alignment, and
surround modes, or Direct to bypass all digital stages. Auto-Dig uses the digital connection if a
digital signal is sensed, and automatically switches to analog connection if there is no digital
signal. For more information see sections 4.2.1 and 7.4.5.
Note about Your Speakers:
• The AVM 20 allows you to enter information about how many speakers you have in your system,
as well as their relative size, type, and distance from your listening position. This speaker setup
information is important in directing audio signals optimally, ensuring you get the best quality
sound from your system – see sections 7.4.2, 7.4.3, and 7.4.4.
