TAKING A FIRST LOOK

The Avidea Remote Control is a Radio Frequency (RF) and Infrared (IR)
remote that can be programmed to operate all the Devices connected to your
Avidea System, such as your TV, cable box, satellite receiver, VCR, etc. It has
an extensive library of codes for these Devices that can be easily programmed.
See "Entering Codes for Other Devices" on p. 21.

In addition, the Avidea Remote can "learn" codes from your existing remote
controls that are not already stored in its library. See "Learning Commands"
on p. 24.

You can label the touch screen buttons on the Avidea Remote. Characters and
numbers are available for labeling as well as various audio and video symbols.
See ‘Labeling Buttons and Devices’ on p. 26.

Recording macros is another feature of the Avidea Remote. If you wish to
assign a sequence of commands to a single button, you can record a macro. See
‘Recording Macros’ on p. 28.

We have provided you with software for use on a PC called Freedom Edit, so
that you can create your own screens and create an individualized look for
your remote. You can find Freedom Edit on the included CD-ROM and on
the Boston Acoustics website www.bostonacoustics.com/avidea. Freedom
Edit’s online help system will guide you through the process. In the future
Freedom Edit will also allow you to upgrade your Avidea Remote. See
‘Freedom Edit’ on p. 32.

USING THE AVIDEA REMOTE

Zone 2

The Avidea System has the ability to provide audio simultaneously and
independently in two different listening "zones". With the connection of
additional amplification and loudspeakers to the Zone 2 output from your
Avidea Control Center you can for instance, enjoy a CD in one room and the
FM tuner in another.

now come up in a new page labeled Zone 2. You operate the Devices as you
would in Zone 1. To turn off Zone 2, or return operation to Zone 1, tap the
Off or Zone 1 soft buttons at the bottom of the touch screen.

Note If a Zone 2 user selects a Device already in operation in Zone 1 (or vice versa)

both users will have control of that same Device. This may cause conflicting
use and programming.

Listen Modes

The Avidea Remote allows adjustment of several “listening modes”. Listening
Modes allow you to use two, five or all six of the system’s speakers, depending
on program type, format, and personal choice. The Avidea subwoofer is
always on, regardless of the number of speakers being used.

Note Page 2 of each Device contains a customized Listening Mode page for that

Device.

SETUP AND USE GUIDE

On the Listening Mode page you will find the following soft buttons:

Display
Turns the display and lights on the Avidea Control Center on or off. The
power button will remain illuminated.

Status
Brings up the Status Bar on your TV. Shows full
system configuration, settings, and Device playback
information.

Surround Music
Uses all six speakers to recreate the ambience of a
live musical performance. This is the preset mode
for all audio-only Devices.

Stereo
Uses only two speakers, the front left and front right,
allowing Avidea to behave like a traditional 2-channel

eo system.

USING THE AVIDEA REMOTE

Surround Movie
Uses all six speakers to recreate a movie theater surround sound experience
from sources that are not Dolby
for all video Devices. When any external Device provides a Dolby Digital
or DTS signal, the Avidea System will automatically select the ideal
playback mode.

5/6
Turns the rear center speaker on and off. The Avidea System can properly
decode the latest surround sound formats: Dolby
and DTS®-ES™. Both of these formats are available on DVD, and may be
provided by some digital cable and satellite programming.

The proper amount of sound will come automatically from the rear center
speaker when watching an EX- or ES-encoded movie. A regular Dolby
Digital or DTS soundtrack will also send sound to this speaker. However,
when watching these movies it is possible that too much sound can come
from the rear center speaker, and not enough from the rear left and right
speakers. If that is the case, press the 5/6 button to turn the rear center
speaker on or off. (The corresponding blue light on the control center will
provide a visual confirmation of the status of the rear center speaker.)
Simply choose which system configuration you prefer for a specific movie
soundtrack.

Subw -/+
Adjusts the output level of the subwoofer to match the type of
programming being played. You may also find that a relatively higher
subwoofer level is preferred when playing the system at lower volumes.
The range of this control is -12 to +12, and a visual indication of any
level change will appear on the control center display and your television.

loudest passages, making the movie more suitable for viewing when you
are concerned about disturbing others.

Note: The Avidea System has Listening Mode Memory™. It will automatically

remember both the Listening Mode and the associated subwoofer level setting
for each Device. Let’s say that the last time you listened to the Tuner you
listened in Stereo and set the subwoofer to +3. You just finished watching a
movie in Dolby Digital Surround EX with the rear center speaker on and the
subwoofer set to +5. When you switch to Tuner, the system will
automatically switch to Ster
