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

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-

Pressing and holding the Shift 2 button while pressing the L7 button selects the PARTY listening mode.

The default command bank does not need to be activated; it remains activated unless the Shift 1 or Shift 2 command bank is activated.

• Pressing and holding the remote control S1 button activates the Shift 1 command bank.

• Pressing and holding the remote control S2 button activates the Shift 2 command bank.

• The S1 and S2 buttons themselves do not send commands to the AV1. When pressed and held, these buttons activate the associated command bank.

To activate the Shift 1 or Shift 2 command bank:

1. Press and hold the remote control S1 button or S2 button to activate one of the command banks.

2. While holding the selected button, press the desired remote control button to send the associated command to the AV1.

3. Release the S1 or S2 button to deactivate the associated command bank.

The ON-SCREEN DISPLAY menu REMOTE STATE parameter controls the remote control command bank indicator. When the REMOTE STATE parameter is set to ON, a command bank indicator appears in the top-right corner of the on-screen display indicating the last command bank used. When the REMOTE STATE parameter is set to OFF, no command bank indicator appears on the on-screen display.

• A "1" appears when a command from the Shift 1 command bank was received last.

• A "2" appears when a command from the Shift 2 command bank was received last.

• No letter appears when a command from the default command bank was received last.
