ABOUT THE AV1

JBL Performance

Thank you for purchasing the AV1 Digital Controller, an 8-channel audio and video control center. The AV1 includes eight configurable inputs, each of which can be assigned to its eight digital audio, eight analog audio, five composite video, five S-video or three component video input connectors. The analog connectors can be configured for up to two 5.1-channel sources.

Inside and out, the AV1 is designed for possible future developments. The rear panel houses two RS-232 connectors; one capable of performing configuration downloads and Flash memory software upgrades and the other capable of supporting future software developments.

More than just an audio and video control center, the AV1 offers the latest version of the critically acclaimed LOGIc7 decoding, which creates a 7.1-channel output signal from stereo, 5.1- and

6.1-channel sources. Unlike other decoders, LOGIC7 decoding is compatible with all input sources and requires no special encoding. Because the improvement it provides is clearly audible, LOGIC7 is widely regarded as the finest decoder available.

In addition to LOGIC7, the AV1 offers Dolby Digital Surround EX, Dolby Pro Logic™II, Dolby Pro Logic, DTS DTS-ES Ultra2 certification guarantees that the AV1 meets the highest THX specifications.

, THX Ultra2™ and THX® Surround EX decoding. THX

96/24, DTSNeo:6®,

ple rates up to 96kHz, with 24-bit resolution to retain top performance from all sources. In addition, a fifth DSP engine is dedicated to decoding multi-channel compressed audio sources.

The AV1 is one of the most advanced audio and video control centers available. High-precision 24-bit/96kHz A/D converters can be used to convert stereo analog audio input signals to digital signals, allowing the AV1 to provide the benefits of precise digital signal processing without sacrificing signal integrity. Alternatively, stereo analog signals can bypass A/D conversion and internal processing, following a pure signal path directly to the output connectors.

Digital audio input signals are processed through a two-stage phase lock loop for extremely low intrinsic jitter and high jitter rejection. Auto azimuth technology corrects timing and level imbalances in stereo sources, ensuring exceptionally accurate playback of surround-encoded sources.

With four floating-point SHARC™ digital signal-processing (DSP) engines, the AV1 boasts enormous processing power. These powerful processors perform custom processing such as LOGIC7 decoding, bass enhancement, dialog enhancement, auto azimuth, 5speaker enhancement, bass management, high-precision digital crossovers and audio controls. These features are available at sam-

STATUS MENU PARAMETER DESCRIPTIONS

2.0 ENCODING MATRIX, NONE

Indicates whether or not a matrix-encoded source is detected. When the parameter setting is MATRIX, a matrix-encoded source is detected. When the parameter setting is NONE, a matrix-encoded source is not detected. The AV1 cannot automatically detect matrix encoding in non-flagged input sources.

BIT RATE 32kbps to 640 kbps or 754kbps to 1509.7kbps

Indicates the rate at which the input signal is encoded. A higher bit rate indicates that less compression was used during the encoding process. Possible settings for Dolby Digital sources range from 32 to 640 kbps. Possible settings for DTS(-ES) sources range from 754 to 1509.7kbps.

CENTER MIX LVL -3.0dB, -4.5dB, -6.0dB

Indicates the relative level of the center channel that was used during the mixing process.

2-18

CHANNELS 3/3.1, 3/2.1, 3/2, 3/1, 2/2, 2/1, 2/0, 1/0

Indicates the number of channels present in the input source. The first digit indicates the number of front channels present. The digit after the slash indicates the number of surround channels present. The digit after the decimal point indicates the presence of LFE (low frequency effects) information. For instance, if the parameter setting is 3/2.1, an input source with three front channels, two surround channels, and LFE information is present. LFE information is sent to the audio output connector labeled Subwoofer.

AV1

Basic Operation

Possible settings for Dolby Digital input sources include 3/2.1, 3/2, 3/1, 2/2, 2/1, 2/0 and 1/0. Current settings for DTS(-ES) input sources include 3/3.1 and 3/2.1.

DIALOG OFFSET -27 to +4dB

Indicates the dialog normalization value applied to the input signal. Dolby Digital input sources reproduce dialog at 27 decibels below fullscale (-27dBFS). When the dialog normalization value of the incoming signal is higher or lower, the DIALOG OFFSET parameter indicates the amount of adjustment the AV1 makes to normalize dialog to -27dBFS.

ES ENCODING DISCRETE, MATRIX, OFF

Indicates whether or not a DTS-ES-encoded source is detected. When the parameter setting is DISCRETE, a discrete 6.1-channel DTS-ES source is detected. When the parameter setting is MATRIX, a 5.1-channel DTSES source with a surround-encoded back channel is detected. When the parameter setting is NONE, a standard DTS source with no DTS-ES encoding is detected.

EX ENCODING MATRIX, NONE

Indicates whether or not a Dolby Digital Surround EX-encoded source is detected. When the parameter setting is MATRIX, a 5.1-channel Dolby Digital source recorded with Dolby Digital Surround EX is detected. When the parameter setting is NONE, a standard 5.1-channel Dolby Digital source recorded without Dolby Digital Surround EX-encoding is detected. The AV1 cannot automatically detect Dolby Digital Surround EX encoding in non-flagged input sources. See page 5-20 for more information.

INPUT

Indicates the selected input (for example, DVD1).

INPUT TYPE ANLG, BYP, PCM, ---

Indicates the input source that is present. When the parameter setting is ANLG, a 2-channel analog audio source is present and the ADVANCED menu 2-CH ANLG BYP parameter is set to OFF. When the parameter setting is BYP (Bypass), a 2-channel analog audio source is present and the 2-CH ANLG BYP parameter is set to ON. When the parameter setting is PCM, a 2-channel digital audio source is present. When the parameter setting is ---, an unknown digital audio source is present.

MIX ROOM SMALL, LARGE

Indicates the size of the mixing room that was used during the mixing process. When the parameter setting is LARGE, it is recommended to set the RE-EQUALIZATION parameter to ON for THX listening modes.

MODE

Indicates the activated listening mode (for example, L7 FILM).

SAMPLE RATE 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 88.2kHz, 96kHz

Indicates the sample rate of the input source that is present.

SURR MIX LVL +0.0dB, -3.0dB, -6.0dB

Indicates the relative surround channel level that was used during the mixing process.

2-19

Basic Operation

JBL Performance

WORD LENGTH 16 bits, 20 bits, 24 bits

Indicates the word length of the audio data present in the input signal.

STATUS MENU LEVEL METERS

Most STATUS menus contain level meters that indicate fluctuating input levels in the front left (L), center (C), front right (R), surround left (SL), surround right (SR), surround back (SB) and subwoofer (SUB) channels. These level meters indicate input levels for both analog and digital input sources. For instance, the level meters indicate digital audio input levels when a digital audio source is present.

Different combinations of level meters appear on each STATUS menu, depending on the source that is present. The SB level meter appears when a 6.1-channel source is present, or when a 5.1-channel source is present and the ES DECODING parameter is set to ON.

Level meters appear in combinations of green, yellow and red when the on-screen display is configured for a blue-screen background. Green indicates low levels, yellow indicates normal levels, and red indicates high levels and the onset of overload. Level meters appear in white when the on-screen display is not configured for a blue screen background.

The table below describes INPUT SELECT parameter settings.

DIGITAL ANALOG AUTO

Setup

The AV1 automatically sets the INPUT SELECT parameter to DIGITAL when the ANALOG IN parameter is set to NONE.

• The AV1 sends the assigned digital audio input connector to the audio output connectors. The AV1 ignores the assigned analog audio input connector.

• The digital audio input connectors are compatible with PCM (44.1kHz, 48kHz,

88.2kHz and 96kHz), Dolby Digital and DTS(-ES) sources. If an incompatible digital audio source (for example, MPEG or MP3) is present, the AV1 automatically selects the assigned analog audio input connector.

• The DIGITAL IN parameter assigns a digital audio input connector for the selected input.

The AV1 automatically sets the INPUT SELECT parameter to ANALOG when the DIGITAL IN parameter is set to NONE.

• The AV1 sends the assigned analog audio input connector to the audio output connectors. The AV1 ignores the assigned digital audio input connector.

• The ANALOG IN parameter assigns an analog audio input connector for the selected input.

The AV1 automatically sets the INPUT SELECT parameter to AUTO when both digital and analog audio input connectors are assigned.

• The AV1 toggles between sending the assigned digital and analog audio input connectors to the audio output connectors based on the input source that is present. For example:

- When a 2-channel PCM, Dolby Digital or DTS(-ES) source is present, the AV1 automatically selects the assigned digital audio input connector.

- When an SACD source is present and a digital source is not present, the AV1 automatically selects the assigned analog audio input connector.

• The AUTO setting is recommended for components that generate both digital and analog signals, such as DVD/SACD players.

Note the following to ensure accurate output level calibration:

• Use a Sound Pressure Level (SPL) meter to calibrate output levels. An SPL meter is a device that measures the relative loudness of the speakers to ensure accurate output level calibration.

• Before output level calibration begins, eliminate extraneous noises in the listening space, such as conversations, air conditioners, and sounds that filter in through open doors and windows.

• Before output level calibration begins, remove objects and people that obstruct the line-of-sight path between the SPL meter and the speaker being measured.

JBL Performance

Note:

The AV1 automatically sets volume level to +0dB when the internal noise test begins. Avoid adjusting master volume level while the test is in progress to achieve a 75dB THX reference level (a 75dB SPL meter reading).

When the internal noise test is conducted, a calibration test signal travels to the audio output connectors in the order listed on the SPEAKER LEVEL ADJUST menu. As the calibration test signal travels, the cursor automatically scrolls downward through SPEAKER LEVEL ADJUST menu parameters, highlighting each speaker parameter as the corresponding output connector is tested. Each output connector is tested for about 4 seconds.

The SPEAKER LEVEL ADJUST menu can be used to manually adjust output levels while the internal noise test is conducted. See “Speaker Level Adjust” on page 3-40 for more information.

To manually adjust output levels while the internal noise test is conducted:

1. Set the SPL meter to C weighting and SLOW response.

2. Press the remote control  and  arrows to highlight the desired SPEAKER LEVEL ADJUST menu parameter.

3. When the desired parameter is highlighted, quickly press the  arrow to select the parameter. A horizontal bar graph opens in the on-screen display.

4. When the horizontal bar graph opens, press the  arrow to adjust the selected parameter. All output levels should be adjusted to achieve a 75 dB SPL meter reading from the primary listening position.

5. When the desired adjustments have been made, press the  arrow to close the horizontal bar graph and return to the SPEAKER LEVEL ADJUST menu. The internal noise test will continue, and automatic scrolling will resume.

Note:

Audio output connectors for which the corresponding CUSTOM or THX SETUP menu parameter is set to NONE cannot be adjusted during the internal noise test. These output connectors can be adjusted during the external noise test, but there is no need to do so.

on the back panel. The 5-pin DIN connector provides 12VDC outputs for externally controlling compatible components. The Power Trigger pin cannot be configured and is active when the AV1 is active (not in Standby). The Trigger 1 output pin can be configured for remote or programmed operation. The Trigger 2 output cannot be configured, but provides an output voltage that is opposite that of the Trigger 1 output pin. If Trigger 1 is ON (at 12VDC), Trigger 2 is at ground potential. If Trigger 1 is OFF (at ground), Trigger 2 is at 12VDC.

MODE ADJUST

Selecting the MAIN MENU MODE ADJUST option opens the MODE ADJUST menu shown to the left, which is used to select a listening mode for adjustment. When the MODE ADJUST menu opens, the currently activated listening mode is highlighted.

Selecting a listening mode does not activate that listening mode for the current input source. Rather, selecting a listening mode opens the corresponding

listening mode menu, which can be used to customize the activated listening mode. These adjustments are applied when that listening mode is selected with one of the methods described in the Listening Mode Activation section that begins below.

LISTENING MODE ACTIVATION

Listening modes are available for 2-channel, Dolby Digital, DTS(-ES) and analog input sources. The AV1 allows listening mode selection for all sources. In some cases, the AV1 automatically activates a listening mode in response to certain commands. For this reason, it is important to understand the three methods through which listening mode activation occurs.

Listening modes can be activated with:

• The INPUT SETUP menu preferred listening mode selection parameters.

• The front panel or remote control Mode  and  buttons.

• The remote control mode family selection buttons.
