The Remote Control

The AVP itself is capable of teaching sophisticated learning remote controls a
wide range of highly specialized functions, if you feel you need such capabilities.
For example, if you want to create infrared macros commands (a series of com-
mands that will be transmitted one after another at the touch of a single button),
we suggest you purchase an appropriate macro-capable remote control from any
of a number of companies that specialize in such products, and then teach it the
commands you need from the AVP itself. The AVP contains many highly special-
ized commands designed to simplify custom, home-automation installations. In-
cluding all of these commands in the standard remote control would have re-
sulted in an excessively complex, intimidating remote that many people would
find too complicated.
By contrast, the standard remote control supplied with the AVP is small and
simple, yet it allows you to control all routine operations from the comfort of
your chair. These include source selection, volume adjustment, surround modes,
menu navigation and standby/operate switching.
The buttons on the standard remote control provide for these functions:
special: displays and executes a list of special functions, any of which you might
want to be able to control from your chair. By pressing and holding the
special
button, you can have the AVP display this list on the screen. Once displayed, you
volume ±
can use the button to move the cursor up or down the list to the item
you want to control. Press enter to toggle the value and leave the list, or press
again to simply leave the list. From then on, simply pressing the
special special
button toggles the last-selected function on the special list.
surround: allows you to cycle among whatever surround modes are appropriate to
the signal being received. For example, you would not be allowed to decode
Dolby Digital with the DTS algorithm (nor would you want to try!); but you
would be allowed to toggle THX on and off, and you would have several options
for a plain two channel signal, including stereo surround for music, and Dolby
Pro Logic for movies.
