After selecting a source for recording (B1,
$1-$5), press the tape button to toggle
between the tape recorder output (LED illu-
minated) and the input source (LED not illuminated).
2 Analog In
The Analog In button activates the analog
input and cycles .through the six analog
audio inputs. B1 is a balanced input via XLR
connectors. $1-$5 are single-ended inputs
via RCA connectors.
3 Digital In
The Digital In button activates the digital
input and cycles through the six digital audio
inputs (C1, C2, T1, T2, XLR, and RF). The
main display will show RF IN when the RF
input for Dolby Digital (AC-3) is selected.
5 Composite
The composite video input button cycles
through the four composite video inputs.
6 S-Video
The S-video input button cycles through the
four S-video inputs.
7 Volume Control Knob
The volume control knob adjusts the output
level for the entire system as well as individual levels for the center speaker, side speak-
ers, rear speakers, and subwoofers. The volume control knob normally adjusts the mas-
. ter volume as indicated by the LED illuminat-
ed above the master button (19). The
change in volume is indicated in the main
display and also on-screen. Adjustments to
the center speaker, side speakers, rear
speakers, and subwoofers are made by
pressing the corresponding individual chan-
nel volume buttons (20) and rotating the volume control knob to the desired setting. The
master volume control has a numerical
range from 0 to 152 with 89 being the Dolby

8 Power Button
The powerbutton toggles the Audio + Video
Standard from standby to operate and also
switches the 12 VDC output between on and
off.
9 Power LED
The power LED illuminates when the. rear
panel main power switch [see Figure 2 (38)
on page 11] is placed in the on position.
During remote control operation, the power
LED will flash, indicating the Audio + Video

10-16 Audio Mode Buttons
The five buttons (10, 13, 14, 15, and 16)
select one of the Audio + Video Standard’s
audio modes.
The Audio + Vid~.o Standard automatically
selects which di~al decodingformat to use,
based on the input signal it receives.
When a silent digital signal .is present, the
Audio+Video Standard will automatically
mute its output until program material
resumes and the Audio+Video Standard
identifies the correct processing mode. This
occurs while changing laser, DVD or com-
pact discs, and between tracks on a cd.
Mute protects your syste ,m by preventing the
Audio + Video ~Standard from playing back
digital data in an incorrect format. If the Audio
+ Video Standard is going to be used as a
digital to analog converter for music playback, this muting may seem awkward
because the beginning of each track may be
affected. You can change the format auto-
sensing to eliminate this muting, if you wish.
To do so, switch the unit into standby. Press
the DTS button (13) on the front panel and
switch the Audio+Video Standard out of
standby to power on (operate). This will dis-
able the automatic muting feature of the
Audio+Video Standard and will alter the way
in which the automatic format sensing oper-
ates. For best results, select DTS prior to listening to any DTS encoded material and be
careful to select the proper format for each
piece of softWare played through the. digital
inputs.
To re-engage the automatic muting feature,
switch the Audio+Video Standard into standby and toggle the main power switch (38)
the rear panel to the off position. When. you
restart your Audio + Video Standard, the
automatic muting feature will be active. Be
sure to turn all amplifiers off when switching
the main power switch on and off.

System Programming
System programming functions allow you to
simplify the use of your Audio + Video
Standard by naming three sets of linked
inputs, System 1, 2, and 3 (47). Other links
may be created in the Audio + Video
Standard, but primary, links may be set up
and remembered more easily with the
System function. For example:
System button 1 A laser disc connected to the RF input and a video
input, set for MOVIE MODE.
System button 2 A DVD player con-
nected to the C1 input and a video
input, set for MOVIE MODE,
System button 3 A CD player connected to an analog input and an
unused video input, set for preamp
mode.
hold the appropriate video button down
for approximately five seconds. Note that
the red LED in the upper left corner of the
remote control will blink. When the blinking stops and the light stays lit for one
second the system is linked to the video
input you selected.
Link the video inputs to a specific audio
input and surround mode.
Selecting the Broadcast Standard
The Audio + Video Standard will operate in
both the NTSC and PAL broadcasting stan-
dards. For countries that only use the NTSC
broadcasting standard, all S-video and com-
posite video inputs are already set for proper NTSC operation. For countries that use
both the NTSC and PAL broadcasting systems, the SV-3, SV-4, CV-3, and CV-4 are
factory set to the PAL operating system. To
