Product Introduction - NAIM AV2 Owner's Manual

5.0 product introduction

This manual covers the installation and use of the av2 audio-visual processor and the nap
v175 three-channel power amplifier. Together these two components can add
comprehensive audio-visual capabilities to any Naim system.
The av2 is an audio processor for Dolby* Digital, Dolby Surround and DTS Digital
Surround™ encoded programme material. It is designed to decode and control audio
signals in multi-channel home theatre systems and to interface between an audio-visual
system and a conventional two channel audio system.
The av2 is fundamentally straightforward in use. However, its comprehensive functions
and setup flexibility mean that a little time spent reading this manual will help ensure
problem-free installation and use.
The nap v175 is a three channel power amplifier intended to drive a centre channel
speaker and a pair of either main front or surround channel speakers.
