The Remote Control
The AVP2 itself is capable of teaching sophisticated learning remote controls a
wide range of highly specialized functions, if you feel you need such capabilities.
For example, if you want to create infrared macros commands (a series of com-
mands that will be transmitted, one after another, at the touch of a single button),
we suggest you purchase an appropriate macro-capable remote control from any
of a number of companies that specialize in such products, and then teach it the
commands you need from the AVP2 itself.
The AVP2 contains many highly specialized commands designed to simplify cus-
tom, home-automation installations. Including all of these commands in the stan-
dard remote control would have resulted in an excessively complex, intimidating
remote that many people would find too complicated.
By contrast, the standard remote control supplied with the AVP2 is small and
simple, yet it allows you to control all routine operations from the comfort of
your chair. These include source selection, volume adjustment, surround modes,
menu navigation and standby/operate switching.
The buttons on the standard remote control provide for these functions:
special: displays and executes a list of special functions, any of which you might
want to be able to control from your chair. By pressing and holding the special
button, you can have the AVP2 display this list on the screen. Once displayed, you
can use the volume ± button to move the cursor up or down the list to the item
you want to control. Press enter to toggle the value and leave the list, or press
special again to simply leave the list. From then on, simply pressing the special
button toggles the last-selected function on the “special” list. For more informa-
tion, please refer to Using the Special Menu, starting on page 72.
surround: allows you to cycle among whatever surround modes are appropriate to
the signal being received. For example, you would not be allowed to decode
Dolby Digital with the DTS algorithm (nor would you want to try!); but you
would be allowed to toggle THX on and off, and you would have several options
for a plain two channel signal, including Dolby Pro Logic II Music and Stereo Sur-
round for music, and Pro Logic II (with or without THX) for movies.
standby: toggles the AVP2 in and out of standby.
