SETTINGS
Main Volume
The Volume knob on the AVP-17 and the Volume control buttons on the remote control adjust the
volume level of all speaker channels simultaneously.
On Screen Display
For the On Screen Display to function properly, the video input format (Composite, Component, or S-
Video) must match the video output format, and the correct input source (DVD, CABLE, VCR, or
AUX1) must be selected. Using the On Screen Display on a large screen TV monitor makes the
MENU options easier to view and set.

Push the FUNCTION knob in to go to the main MENU, then rotate the knob to Audio Setup. Push

are similarly accessed and adjusted by using the FUNCTION knob. Since most users will be using the
remote control to access the MENU and set parameters, the AVP-17’s features and settings via
remote control are described below.

The NuForce AVP-17 Remote control is designed to access and adjust all the AVP-17’s functions
and settings. In addition to navigating the main and sub-menus, there are many short-cut buttons (see
Section 2: Remote Control) that provide a more direct access to often-used features and adjustments.
These short-cut buttons allow direct access to audio and video inputs, DSP, Dolby, and DTS
processing, as well as speaker level adjustments for the center channel and subwoofer. These direct
access buttons eliminate the need to scroll through the main and sub-menus. The two included AAA
batteries may be installed by removing the two small screws in the bottom panel of the remote and
inserting them into the slide-out battery carrier. Be sure to observe the correct positive and negative
