Remote control The B & K A/V system remote control is specially designed to streamline functions. Although you can choose to use a universal remote, we think you will agree that the remote shown below is simple and easy to learn. Most buttons on the remote control are duplicated through the front panel. This means it’s easy to operate the preamplifier, whether you prefer using the remote control or the hands on approach from the front panel. We recommend using the remote control for simplicit

Setup It’s tempting to just plug in your new AVP and have great sound pour out. Before you do that, take a few minutes to plan out how you want the preamplifier to fit into your audio/video system. If you haven’t already done so, ask yourself the following questions: What source components do I want to connect to my preamplifier? (CD, VCR, etc.) What components do I want my preamplifier to send output to? What equipment in my system will be receiving and displaying the audio and video? (

To ensure maximum safety, keep all cables out of high traffic areas (hallways or doorways) and away from equipment that radiates power, including amplifiers, power cords, heaters, etc. If you might expand your audio/video system later, keep these ideas in mind as you plan current cable runs. Factory reset Reset the AVP before you start. Plug in the power and turn the AVP on. When the display shows:
