Playing Pc Media - JBL AV2 User Manual

®
JBL Performance™ Series AV2 Audio/Video Processor
When the connection between a computer and the AV2 is made for
the first time, or if the USB connection is plugged into a different
USB jack on a computer or hub that has not been previously
connected to the AV2, you will see a series of pop-up messages
from the Windows program to indicate that the computer is
configuring itself for the new device. Since the AV2 provides a
number of different functions, you may see the "Found New
Hardware" message up to four times, one each for "A/V Receiver,"
"Compatible Device," "Audio Receiver", and "Human Interface
Device."
CAUTION!
Do NOT power-cycle the computer while connected to the
AV2 with the PC input selected. The computer MUST be on
and connected to the AV2 rear panel USB jack BEFORE
selecting the PC input on the AV2. Selecting the PC input
first may cause a burst of loud noise that may be
damaging to the speakers or the listener's hearing. We
assume no responsibility for damage caused in this man-
ner.

PLAYING PC MEDIA

Before selecting the PC input on the AV2, make certain that the
media player has been opened on the computer and is the
"top" or active screen. The remote control PC input commands
will not operate the media player if it is minimized or "behind"
other programs.
You are now ready to begin playing music. The AV2 remote control
or the computer media player program can be used to control the
play, pause, skip forward and skip back features of the media player.
Using the AV2 remote control:
• Page 4 of the "JBL" touch screen menu provides media player
controls for use with the PC input.
||
• The PC option mimics the Pause/Play control. If the playlist
is not active, pressing this option starts the playlist. If the
playlist is already playing, then pressing this option pauses it.
• The PC– option mimics the Skip Back control. Pressing this
option causes the media player to skip back a track in the
playlist.
• The PC+ option mimics the Skip Forward control. Pressing this
option causes the media player to skip forward a track in the
playlist.
Once playback is started, the audio from a USB source is treated the
same as any other 2-channel audio source, and you may apply any
of the appropriate surround processing modes.
Note: Whenever the USB jack is connected to the computer, the RV-5 will be
selected as the sound card for the computer, even while the AV2 is in
Standby.
