4. CONNECTIONS 4.1 CONNECTING POWER TO THE AVM 2 Connect the power cord to the back of the AVM 2 and then to an AC outlet with a line voltage of between 105 and 130 Volts, 60 Hz. When turned on, the AVM 2 will have all of the same settings it had when it was last turned off, except for Volume, which comes on at the pre-programmed setting (see section 7.4.6). 4.2 AUDIO CONNECTIONS There are two methods of transmitting audio signals: Analog and Digital.
4. CONNECTIONS continued … 4.2.3 LEFT / RIGHT ANALOG AUDIO INPUTS Analog audio signals pass through a pair of interconnect cables with RCA connectors – typically White or Black for the Left Channel and Red for the Right Channel. The audio output connectors from Tape Recorders, VCR’s, and CD Players are normally colour coded in this same manner. 4.2.4 DIRECT / 6-CHANNEL ANALOG AUDIO INPUT DVD Players with 6-channel Analog Audio outputs can connect to the DIRECT input.
4. CONNECTIONS continued … The On-screen Display and Setup Menu are only displayed in MAIN (Zone / Path) and available when Composite Video or S-Video connections are used. Composite Video is the factory default setting (see section 7.4.9 menu 9.b). The AVM 2 does not provide an On-Screen Display or On-Screen Setup Menu Display for the Component Video output.
4. CONNECTIONS continued … DVD Player, Satellite Receiver, and TV Connections with AVM 2 as Video Input Selector NOTE: S-Video or Component Video use is OPTIONAL (see sections 4.3 and 7.4.9) Amplifier(s) NOTE: S-Video or Component Video use is OPTIONAL (see sections 4.3.2, 4.3.3 and 7.4.9) Connect Power Amplifiers as outlined in fig 2.2.4 (a or b) Toslink can be connected to TOS2 (optional – see section 4.2.1 and 7.4.2) NOTE: S-Video use is OPTIONAL (see section 4.3.
4. CONNECTIONS continued … 4.3.3 COMPONENT VIDEO The Component Video signal is split into three parts and transmitted over three coaxial cables with RCA connectors. This format produces the highest video quality. Only some TV Monitors, Projectors, DVD Players, and most HDTV Decoders utilize Component Video. The AVM 2 has two preassigned Component Video inputs, one for DISC1 and one for SAT. Note that all 3-wire connections must be made (Y, PR/Cr, PB/Cb).
5. FRONT PANEL OPERATION OF THE AVM 2 This section will familiarize you with operating the AVM 2 from the Front Panel keypad buttons. Section 6 outlines how to operate the AVM 2 from the Remote Control. 5.1 ZONE / PATH The AVM 2 is best understood as a product that contains two components (or ‘personalities’) in one chassis.
5. FRONT PANEL OPERATION continued … The AVM 2 automatically returns to MAIN a few seconds after an adjustment is made in either ZONE2, REC, or HEADPHONE*. This is designed to prevent accidents. Say, for example someone enters the MAIN room and turns up the volume – if the AVM 2 stayed in ZONE2, then the ZONE2 volume would increase, not the MAIN Volume.
5. FRONT PANEL OPERATION continued … Channels are downmixed to L/R 2-channel stereo by the DVD Player. Note: If you are doing this, the digital output from your DVD Player must still remain connected to the AVM 2, otherwise MAIN will not receive the digital signal to provide 6-channel (5.1) output.
5. FRONT PANEL OPERATION continued … 5.6 VOLUME CONTROL In MAIN the AVM 2 can control the volume of all speakers simultaneously, and the level of individual speakers or pairs of speakers. ZONE2 and HEADPHONE volumes are also controlled separately. Note: Always make certain you are in the Zone / Path that you want to adjust before making any Volume or Level changes. The LCD display shows the current setting – MAIN, ZONE2, or HPHONE.
5. FRONT PANEL OPERATION continued … 5.8 MUTE When MUTE is pressed, the audio output to the Zone / Path shown on the LCD display is silenced. The volume shown is replaced by “Muted”. Press MUTE again, or rotate the Master Control Knob to adjust the volume, and sound will return. Note: MAIN, ZONE2 and HEADPHONE can all be muted independently. To MUTE or UNMUTE: • MAIN: Press MUTE. • ZONE2: Press ZONE2 (Zone / Path), press MUTE. • HEADPHONE: Press FRONTS twice, press MUTE. 5.
5. FRONT PANEL OPERATION continued … To select an Effect, press EFFECT and rotate the Master Control Knob: None (Off): Disables all Effects. Disables Dolby Pro Logic decoding for all analog source material, even if it is Dolby Pro Logic encoded. Dolby Pro Logic: Enables Dolby Pro Logic decoding for all source material, whether it is encoded or not. This mode should always be used on Dolby Pro Logic encoded VCR tapes.
5. FRONT PANEL OPERATION continued … 5.11 DOLBY DIGITAL DYNAMICS This feature only applies to certain Dolby Digital DVD’s. It allows you to control the difference between the softest and loudest passages. Please note that some Dolby Digital DVD titles do not provide dynamic scaling, and selecting one of the following three settings will have no effect. You can cycle through the settings by repeatedly pressing DYNAMICS: Normal: This setting reproduces the full dynamic range of the recording.
6. REMOTE CONTROL OPERATION IR Transmitter Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, as you may know, were two very different personalities, even though they were the same person. Well, the AVM 2 Remote Control is the host to NINE different personalities! (All of them ‘good’, of course.) The AVM 2 Universal Learning Remote Control has all of the same functions as the front panel keys and is operated in a similar way, but there are some differences.
6. REMOTE CONTROL OPERATION continued … 6.2 PATH SELECTION • MAIN – Press MAIN in Zone/Path/Component, then press • ZONE2 – Press ZONE2 in Zone/Path/Component, then press • REC – Press MAIN in Zone/Path/Component, press . . , then press SSP REC. Short Cut: After pressing MAIN or ZONE2 in Zone/Path/Component ‘personality’, pressing any other active key in that selected Path will automatically switch the AVM 2 to that Path. 6.2.
6. REMOTE CONTROL OPERATION continued … • The first SLEEP keystroke always resets the timer to 30 minutes. Additional keystrokes then cycle as follows: first=30, second=60, third=90, fourth=Disabled. • Once set, the time remaining appears as the number following ‘Zzz’ in the display. 6.7 CONTROLLING OTHER COMPONENTS The AVM 2 Remote Control can be set up to control your TV, DVD Player, CD Player, VCR, Satellite Receiver, and a second TV.
6. REMOTE CONTROL OPERATION continued … To Engage Volume Lock for MAIN: 1. Press and hold LEARN until the LED flashes twice. 2. Press 9, 9, 3. 3. Press MAIN. At this point, the Volume and Mute buttons now control MAIN, no matter which of the eight Zone/Path/Component selections the Remote Control is in. However, since this may not be desirable, any individual Zone/Path/Component selection can be unlocked. To Disengage Volume Lock for ZONE2, and re-engage the ZONE2 Volume Control: 4. Press ZONE2. 5.
6. REMOTE CONTROL OPERATION continued … • The placement of the IR transmitter in the Source Remote may make it difficult to correctly align the two Remotes. • Source Remotes that contain a beam-focusing lens may require more than one attempt at successful alignment. • The learning process should be conducted in an area where there is a low level of IR emission. High levels of natural light or fluorescent lighting could interfere with a learning event. • The maximum carrier frequency is 135 kHz.
7. ADVANCED SET-UP The SETUP MENU enables you to access the basic and advanced settings for the AVM 2. In other words, this is where all the user definable operating characteristics / calibrations / customized configurations are entered. You can only gain access to the Setup Menu with the ZONE / PATH set to MAIN. For optimum performance and enjoyment, it is crucial that your AVM 2 be properly set up.
7. ADVANCED SET-UP continued … Note: The last change made to a Setup Menu item will always be the “entered” result. If you make a change to a Setup Menu item and then decide you don’t want it to change after all, you must go back to that Setup Menu item and adjust it back to the original setting. 7.4 ANTHEM AVM-2 SETUP MENU With your TV Monitor connected as described at the beginning of this section, enter the Setup Menu as described in section 7.1.
7. ADVANCED SET-UP continued … 7.4.1 RENAME SOURCES ThE Rename Sources Setup Menu lets you change the factory assigned name that is displayed when selecting a Source. Those that are renamed will then appear that way throughout all Setup Menus and display screens during normal operation. Source names can be up to six characters long. You have the following characters available: • A, B, C….Z, a, b, c….z, , 0, 1, 2….9. 1. RENAME SOURCES a. b. c. d. e. f. g. h.
7. ADVANCED SET-UP continued … Audio In Format–MAIN Selections apply to the MAIN Path only. If you have selected Digital for a given source and connected the digital output from your source component, you can still use the Analog Inputs for that same source – these will then be available for other Paths (ZONE2, REC). This arrangement allows greater operating flexibility.
7. ADVANCED SET-UP continued … 7.4.3 SPEAKER CONFIGURATION The Speaker Configuration Setup Menu allows you to enter information about how many speakers you have in your system and their relative size. Here you will also set up the Bass Management for your whole system. Note: This is an important setup that you must perform in order to optimally direct all audio information and achieve high quality sound reproduction from your system. 3. a. b. c. d. e. f. g. h.
7. ADVANCED SET-UP continued … Dolby Configuration Flowchart: The following Flow Chart summarizes all of the speaker combinations and subwoofer settings the AVM 2 supports for accurate DOLBY signal processing: Dolby Configuration Notes: • If SURROUNDS are set to ‘None’, the L-Surround channel is directed to the L-Front channel, and the R-Surround channel is directed to the R-Front channel (except in Dolby Pro Logic mode).
7. ADVANCED SET-UP continued … (menu 3.g) TV Size For EQ : This is used to determine the magnitude of the Center EQ change. The sizes provided offer an easy-to-use general guideline. Since room/TV/furniture acoustics vary, you may wish to experiment to determine which setting is actually the best for you. Do the following listening test and determine which sounds the clearest: when listening to the center channel dialogue of 2 to 3 different DVD soundtracks.
7. ADVANCED SET-UP continued … 7.4.4 LISTENER POSITION The Listener Position Setup Menu lets you enter the distance from each speaker to the listening area. Ideally, speakers should be placed at a similar distance so that their sound arrives at the listening area at the same time. Since this is not always possible, the AVM 2 can insert a delay for speakers that are closer; this will allow sound from each speaker to arrive at the listening area at the same time. 4. a. b. c. d. e. f. g. h.
7. ADVANCED SET-UP continued … Note: The FRONTS, CENTER, SURROUNDS, SUB, and BALANCE buttons on the Remote Control and Front Panel DO NOT affect settings in this menu, but rather allow adjustment of program material as may be required (section 5.6). Note: The Speaker Configuration (section 7.4.3) must be done before the Speaker Level Calibration since any speaker set to ‘None’ will be skipped. As a convenience, when you are in the Setup Menu both MAIN Volume and Mute still operate.
7. ADVANCED SET-UP continued … (menu 5.a) PROCEDURE FOR ‘AUTO’ TEST SEQUENCE: • Enter the Setup Menu (section 7.1). Go to ‘5. SPEAKER LVL CALIBRATION’ and press SELECT (‘Select’). • Use the 34keys (MASTER CONTROL KNOB) to set TEST SEQUENCE to ‘AUTO’. • Press the SELECT (‘Select’) key to start the automatic sequence. • As each speaker plays, use the 34 keys (MASTER CONTROL KNOB) to adjust its loudness relative to other speakers.
7. ADVANCED SET-UP continued … • Volume Speed: This sets how quickly the volume changes for each ‘turn-of-the-knob’ or press of the Remote Control Volume keys. Choose either ‘Slow’ or ‘Fast’. VOLUMES Example: Set ZONE2 Maximum Volume to ‘+5.0 dB’. • Enter the Setup Menu (section 7.1). Go to ‘6. VOLUMES’ and press SELECT (‘Select’). • Press the 6 (‘Down’) key until you reach “d.

7. ADVANCED SET-UP continued … (menu 7.a-c) MAIN / ZONE2 Timers: • All Timers: This allows you to ‘Enable’ or ‘Disable’ all Timer options for both MAIN and ZONE2, regardless of their settings. • Pressing SELECT on the ‘SET MAIN TIMERS’ and ‘SET ZONE2 TIMERS’ menu items brings up their individual submenus. These allow you to set MAIN and ZONE2 to turn on automatically and separately in the ways and times you specify.
7. ADVANCED SET-UP continued … menu 7.b-c/k) Select Source: Allows you to select the source that will play when either Timer1 or Timer2 turns a Zone / Path On. All sources are available (even your favorite FM/AM station). Be sure that your selected source and power amplifier are turned on, or will be at the Timer turn-on time – if your components are equipped with trigger inputs, you can set an AVM 2 Trigger to turn them on (see section 7.4.8).
7. ADVANCED SET-UP continued … 7.4.8 TRIGGERS / IR / RS-232 Three Trigger Outputs are provided on the back of the AVM 2. These allow you to remotely turn other components on or off, such as Power Amplifier, CD Changer, Video Projector, etc. To have their power On/Off controlled by the AVM 2, simply connect a Trigger output from the AVM 2 to the Trigger input of the other component. For components that do not have a trigger input, use a triggerable power bar (see your dealer).
7. ADVANCED SET-UP continued … Under each of the three AVM 2 Zones / Paths, MAIN (M), ZONE2 (Z2), and RECORD (R), a variety of Sources are available to choose from to set the Triggers. In the Control Chart, you will notice that there are 27 available Sources (27 dashes), that could be used to activate that particular Trigger. For Trigger 1, 2, or 3 to activate, simply enter that Trigger’s Control Chart and replace the ‘-’ with an ‘*’ for the sources that you wish.
7. ADVANCED SET-UP continued … TRIGGERS / IR / RS232 Example: Activate Trigger1 and 2 when MAIN is turned ON with TV as the Source. • Enter the Setup Menu (section 7.1). Go to ‘8.
