Getting StartedJBL Performance1-2ABOUT THE AV1Thank you for purchasing the AV1 Digital Controller, an 8-channelaudio and video control center. The AV1 includes eight config-urable inputs, each of which can be assigned to its eight digitalaudio, eight analog audio, five composite video, five S-video orthree component video input connectors. The analog connectorscan be configured for up to two 5.1-channel sources.Inside and out, the AV1 is designed for possible future develop-ments. The rear panel houses two RS-232 connectors; one capableof performing configuration downloads and Flash memory soft-ware upgrades and the other capable of supporting future softwaredevelopments.More than just an audio and video control center, the AV1 offersthe latest version of the critically acclaimed LOGIc7 decoding,which creates a 7.1-channel output signal from stereo, 5.1- and6.1-channel sources. Unlike other decoders, LOGIC7 decoding iscompatible with all input sources and requires no special encoding.Because the improvement it provides is clearly audible, LOGIC7 iswidely regarded as the finest decoder available.In addition to LOGIC7, the AV1 offers Dolby Digital Surround EX,Dolby Pro Logic™II, Dolby Pro Logic, DTS® 96/24, DTSNeo:6®,DTS-ES®, THX Ultra2™ and THX® Surround EX decoding. THXUltra2 certification guarantees that the AV1 meets the highestTHX specifications.With four floating-point SHARC™ digital signal-processing (DSP)engines, the AV1 boasts enormous processing power. These power-ful processors perform custom processing such as LOGIC7 decod-ing, bass enhancement, dialog enhancement, auto azimuth, 5-speaker enhancement, bass management, high-precision digitalcrossovers and audio controls. These features are available at sam-ple rates up to 96kHz, with 24-bit resolution to retain top perfor-mance from all sources. In addition, a fifth DSP engine is dedicatedto decoding multi-channel compressed audio sources.The AV1 is one of the most advanced audio and video controlcenters available. High-precision 24-bit/96kHz A/D converters canbe used to convert stereo analog audio input signals to digital sig-nals, allowing the AV1 to provide the benefits of precise digitalsignal processing without sacrificing signal integrity. Alternatively,stereo analog signals can bypass A/D conversion and internal pro-cessing, following a pure signal path directly to the output con-nectors.Digital audio input signals are processed through a two-stagephase lock loop for extremely low intrinsic jitter and high jitterrejection. Auto azimuth technology corrects timing and level imbal-ances in stereo sources, ensuring exceptionally accurate playback ofsurround-encoded sources.
