The option is for sophisticated users who understand the potential
warn
dangers of feedback loops and how to avoid them, but wish to have the
ability to set up such a potential situation for a specific reason. In this case,
the AVP will put up an on screen warning about the record loop, but allow
it to be selected nonetheless.
Note: We do not recommend the use of the "warn" feature for most
users or situations, but provide it to solve specific problems
sometimes encountered with outboard equalizers, etc.
How many physical connections does this component require? (A stereo pair of
analog signals is considered "one connection" for the purposes of this discus-
sion.) In the case of a CD transport, the answer is easy . All you have is a digital
output to accommodate, so the answer is one. A laserdisc player is the most com-
plicated, since it might have three sets of signals: RF Dolby Digital (AC-3), normal
( / ) digital, and a pair of analog outputs for the occasional old disc that has
S PDIF
only analog soundtracks. (This would be a pretty old disc, but they do exist....) In
this extreme case, you would need three sets of connections. We'll come back to
laserdisc later—for now, let's stick with your CD transport, with its single connec-
tion.

As you work with the menu system a bit, the habit of pressing
work with an item and then pressing it again to save your work becomes
second nature.
Once the AVP knows how many connections you need for this particular compo-
nent, it updates its menu to provide for defining those connections. With only a
single digital connection (for your CD transport), this is pretty simple. Just tell the
system which digital input connector you used when you hooked up the CD
transport.

Since there are actually two things the system needs to know, and they
would not have fit on a single line without confusion, you will be taken to
