Anthem AVM 20 Specifications - page 8
Selectable Background Color
In keeping with the AVM 20’s easy-to-use, plug ‘n’ play philosophy,
the Setup Menu’s background color can be changed from Blue
to Magenta or Black, to allow for correct “synching” with various
video monitors or projectors.
Simulcasting
Want to watch the ball game but listen to your favorite AM/FM
announcers? Now you can! The AVM 20 lets you replace the
audio for any selected video source.
For ease of operation, simulcast video for the 6-channel audio
source is default-set for DVD (which can be overridden). This
allows the video from a DVD-Audio or SACD disc to be auto-
matically seen when listening to a DVD-Audio or SACD disc
through the 6-channel source.
FM/AM Tuner
Our tuner provides superb high-end sound and features 18 FM
and 6 AM station presets, selectable Stereo, High-Blend and
Mono modes to capture even hard-to-reach stations. As with
other sources, the tuner can be directed to all four Paths so
you can record, or listen to your favorite radio station anywhere
in your home.
Greater Functionality
• Three assignable digital Toslink inputs
• Two assignable Component Video inputs
• Assignable AES/EBU Digital input
• Balanced-XLR 2-channel Analog input,
selectable for Analog-Direct or Analog-DSP
• Two Digital Record outputs (RCA-S/PDIF)
operating as follows:
Digital-1: Any Digital source selected in the Record Path is
directed to this output. The digital signal will simply pass
through, even if it is Dolby
®
Digital- or DTS
®
-encoded. As well,
any Analog source set to Analog-DSP and selected in Main is
converted to digital and can be directed to this output—
selectable to either 24-bit x 44.1 kHz, 24-bit x 48 kHz, 24-bit x
88.2 kHz or 24-bit x 96 kHz. If the source is set to Analog-Direct
there is no digital output.
Digital-2: This output can can be set to copy the Digital-1 out-
put, or it can be assigned to any source set to Digital, where it
will simply pass the digital input signal through to this output.
Ten Outputs – 7.1 Plus Second Center Channel
and Subwoofer (RCA and Balanced XLR)
The AVM 20 provides incredibly musical, spacious and accurate
surround sound! In some installations you may want to add a
second center-channel speaker—either above and below, or
on either side of your video monitor. You may also want to
add a second subwoofer. The AVM 20 makes it easy with
additional output connections already built in—both for RCA
and Balanced XLR.
One AVM 20 can even operate two complete 7.1 systems. Each
set of outputs operates concurrently—the Balanced XLR
outputs can be connected to a system in one room, and the
RCA outputs connected to a second system in another. Use
Triggers in the Setup Menu to control when room “A” or “B”
amplifiers turn on or off with a selected source, and you can
have a second home-theater system operating with ease.
