JBL ® Performance™ Series AV2 Audio/Video Processor Setup3-295.1-CHANNEL AND 7.1-CHANNEL DIRECT INPUTSThere are four listening modes available for use with surroundsources such as DVD-Audio, SACD, HD-DVD or Blu-ray players. Theselistening modes are for use when the AV2 8-channel direct inputs arein use. We recommend you use these listening modes under thefollowing conditions:• 5.1 BYPASS – Use this listening mode when the Surround BackL/R inputs are NOT in use and the input source device has itsown internal bass management system. The incoming audiostream passes from the source directly through to the volumecontrol without any analog-to-digital conversion. This modealso mutes the unusued input jacks to prevent unwanted noisefrom interfering with system performance.• 5-CHANNEL – Use this listening mode when the Surround BackL/R inputs are NOT in use and the input source device doesNOT have its own internal bass management system. In thismode, the analog source is converted to digital so that it usesthe same bass management options for the direct input as usedfor all other inputs. This mode also mutes the unusued inputjacks to prevent unwanted noise from interfering with systemperformance.• 7.1 BYPASS – Use this listening mode when the 8-channel directinputs are in use and the input source device has its owninternal bass management system. The incoming audio streampasses from the source directly through to the volume controlwithout any analog-to-digital conversion.• 7-CHANNEL – Use this listening mode when the 8-channeldirect inputs are in use and the input source device does NOThave its own internal bass management system. In this mode,the analog source is converted to digital so that it uses the samebass management options for the direct input as used for allother inputs.DTS AND DOLBY STATUS DISPLAYSThe upper right-hand corner of the front panel two-line display mayindicate status information regarding the incoming source.
