LISTENING MODES

The AV2 has a large selection of listening modes to choose from. The list of available listening modes is broken into two parts – the Mode Family

and the Mode. The available listening modes vary depending upon the Mode Family selections, the input setup and the incoming audio signal. 

The AV2 features the ability to turn off selected listening mode families so that those options do not appear in the list of available listening modes.

See the “Surround Configuration” section, found later in this chapter, for more information. The AV2 also features the ability to modify elements of

the Dolby Pro Logic IIx and Dolby Pro Logic II listening modes to better suit your listening preference. See the “Dolby Configuration” section found

later in this chapter for more information.

SELECTING A LISTENING MODE

The Input Setup menu allows the user to select the initial listening

mode and mode family that will be applied to any incoming data

stream on that specific input. However, setting the input Mode

Family and Mode parameters does not prevent other listening modes

from being available through the Mode buttons. 

The Front Panel Mode 

 and 

buttons allow the user to quickly

scan through the available listening modes in the selected family for a

given input or incoming data stream. The Remote Control Channel

 and 

 buttons perform the same function.

To select a different Mode Family, the remote control touchscreen

must be set to the first page of the JBL menu. Then selecting DOLBY,

DTS, DSP or STER from the touchscreen of the remote control

switches the Mode button selections to any listening modes available

for each of those families, respectively.

The AV2 process of signal identification and listening mode selection

is shown below:

DTS AND DOLBY LISTENING MODES

When a DTS soundtrack is playing, the DTS Mode Family menu

contains two options. The DTS selection provides the currently

available DTS listening modes. The Dolby selection contains two

additional listening modes: DTS + PLIIx Film and DTS + PLIIx Music. 

Note: These DTS and Dolby listening modes are ONLY available when

there is an incoming DTS data stream.
