Two-channel PCM

PCM encoded material is found on compact discs and laserdiscs. In the Music ASP mode,

the AVC-2500 plays back audio in the left, center, and right channels. Proprietary ambiance

effects are routed to the surround channels. The subwoofer is active in this mode.

Analog Audio

Two-channel analog material is typically found on VCR tapes and the analog outputs of

DVD players and cassette decks. In the Music ASP mode, the AVC-2500 plays back two-

channel audio in the left, center, and right channels. Proprietary ambiance effects are routed

to the surround channels. The subwoofer is active in this mode.

Party Mode

Dolby Digital

While in the Party ASP mode, the AVC-2500 automatically decodes Dolby Digital encoded

source material. Even if the material was encoded in Dolby Digital 5.1, the AVC-2500 plays

back downmixed two-channel in the front left and right and rear surround channels in a

“dual-stereo” configuration. The subwoofer is active in this mode. This mode is a great

choice for a party because guests standing near the surround speakers will hear downmixed

stereo rather than ambient surround effects. The center speaker is defeated in this mode.

DTS

In the Party ASP mode, the AVC-2500 automatically decodes DTS encoded source material.

DTS is always encoded in 5.1, but the AVC-2500 plays back downmixed two-channel in the

front left, right and rear surround channels in a “dual-stereo” configuration. The subwoofer

is active in this mode.

Two-channel PCM

PCM encoded material is found on compact discs and laser discs. In the Party ASP mode,

the AVC-2500 plays back downmixed two-channel audio in the front left, right and rear

surround channels in a “dual-stereo” configuration. The subwoofer is active in this mode.

Analog Audio

Two-channel analog material is typically found on VCR tapes and the analog outputs of

DVD players and cassette decks. In the Party ASP mode, the AVC-2500 plays back two-

channel audio in the front left, right and rear surround channels in a “dual-stereo”

configuration. The subwoofer is active in this mode.

Mono Mode

Dolby Digital

While in the Mono ASP mode, the AVC-2500 automatically downmixes the signal from

Dolby Digital, DTS, PCM or Analog monaurally to the center channel. All other channels

are inoperative in the Mono ASP mode.

Stereo Mode

Dolby Digital

While in the Stereo ASP mode, the AVC-2500 automatically decodes Dolby Digital encoded

source material. Even if the material was encoded in Dolby Digital 5.1, the AVC-2500

downmixes all information from all the channels to play two-channel audio in the left and

right channels. The subwoofer is active in this mode.
