Define Source Buttons; Example: Setting Up A Cd Transport - PROCEED Audio Video Preamplifier Manual

To take a common but surprisingly complex example, imagine:
The
do when you want to watch a laserdisc is press a single button. The system can
easily do everything else for you. It even figures out which of the three connec-
tions (AC-3, normal digital, and analog) it needs to use without you having to
read the fine print on the back of the laserdisc jacket.
We'll take each of the submenus in turn.

define source buttons

Each of the buttons on the on the top row of the front of the AVP may be associ-
ated with any of the audio and video connectors on the rear of the AVP . In fact,
each button can be associated with a maximum of three audio connections (the
AC-3 RF input if you have the RF demodulator, plus a digital input, plus a set of
analog inputs on the AVP) and one video connection.
The reason for this extraordinary flexibility is that we want you to be able to use
the button that makes sense for each component, regardless of the type of con-
nector it may require. By manually associating whatever connector you need to
use with the button you want to use, you can make the system work the way
you want it to work.
Moreover, we feel the system should handle the day-to-day details of sorting out
RF AC-3, digital and analog soundtracks for you, rather than you having to read
the fine print on each disc you own. By assigning more than one connector to a
given button (as needed), the system can search for a usable signal rather than
making you do it, according to the list you give it during setup.
Thus, we give you a scrolling list of all ten input buttons, and give you the op-
portunity to tell the AVP which connectors you would like it to use when you
press that button. Your first connector is also your "first choice," the priority con-
nection; second choice is second priority; and third connector selection is the
"last resort." (That is, when there is nothing to listen to on the first and second
choices.)
A couple examples will help. With a simple CD transport, you might set up your
example: setting up
default selections as follows:
a cd transport
• that you have a laserdisc player that has an RF Dolby Digital
(AC-3) output, a digital output, and analog outputs;
• that you usually listen to it in THX cinema mode, whether using
discrete digital soundtracks or Dolby Pro Logic soundtracks;
• and that you prefer to use a subwoofer for movies for the extra
impact, but prefer not to use it when listening to music.
is where you "explain" all this to the AVP , so that all you have to
