- Page 2 Why doesn’t the AVP-18 provide any analog video or audio inputs? NuForce believes that a simple design is able to provide the shortest audio signal path and lowest interference, and therefore the AVP-18 was conceived as a purely audio-centric HDMI processor. In doing this, the AVP-18 simply strips out the audio data embedded in the HDMI signal for decoding. The video data is strictly a ‘pass-through’, and as such, it cannot encode analog audio or video signals into the HDMI output.
- Page 3 How many EQs are available? Five (5) of the seven (7) main channels have eleven (11) Parametric EQ presets. The Left & Right Rear channels do not offer any EQ capability, while the Subwoofer LFE output has three (3) Parametric EQ presets. Every preset has adjustable Frequency, Level, and Q.
- Page 4 Does the AVP-18 support Audyssey™? Audyssey™ is a proprietary Auto Room EQ optimization algorithm. At present, Nuforce is not a licensee so the AVP-18 does not support it. We (subjectively) believe the Auto Room EQ in the AVP-18 offers similar adjustability with superlative audio performance.
- Page 5 There are too many features and formats, what features are supported under which format? With normal HDMI connections, the AVP-18 auto-detects the supported incoming audio formats and will determine the best default playback settings in most cases. By using the Mode+ and Mode- keys on the remote, users can change the decoding format. Please note that only supported formats are available.
- Page 6 Dolby first introduced the concept of Height Speakers in the format Dolby Pro Logic IIz™. The AVP-18 supports the Height speaker by repurposing the Rear surround channels as Height channels, if so required. Based on our own preference, NuForce recommends utilizing the 7.1 rear channels instead of 5.1 + Height wherever possible, unless restricted by a very small room.
- Page 7 What is ‘Midnight’? The Midnight setting is a Dynamic Range compression process provided by Dolby and DTS to highlight certain frequencies and/or signals while keeping the effective volume low. This would be for late night listening or other times when it is important to minimize the disturbance of others within hearing range of the system.
- Page 8 What is CEC? How do I enable it? HDMI supports a protocol called CEC (Consumer Electronics Control), CEC allows a single remote handset to control a few functions with multiple HDMI devices, such as TV and BD Player, etc. CEC is subject to full CEC support in all of your connected devices, and may experience some 'quirks' if any of the HDMI devices were purchased before the CEC standards were fully finalized.
- Page 9 My HDMI TV (HDMI 1.4 and above) supports Audio Return (ARC), how do I play back the TV audio using the AVP-18? Select input ‘TV ARC.' The AVP-18 will switch to the HDMI audio coming from the TV. Please note that not all HDMI TVs provide the ARC feature.
