OVERVIEW Russound’s AVA-Series’s are a game changer in the audio industry. Their built -in HDMI ARC input with CEC control means that these compact, powerful, low-profile AVA-Series can be used seamlessly with any modern television without the need for any remote control other than your native TV or cable- box/satellite remote that is already being used.
USING THE MINI-AVR HDMI - CONNECTING A TV OR OTHER HDMI AUDIO SOURCE Connect the HDMI cable to the HDMI Port on the TV labeled HDMI (ARC or eARC) and to the rear HDMI port of your AVA-Series Amplifiers labeled “ARC”. It is very important that you connect to the ARC or eARC HDMI connection on the TV.
USING THE MINI-AVR DIGITAL OPTICAL IN Connect any digital audio source to the digital optical input on the rear of your AVA-Series Amplifiers. The connected source may be selected by using the included remote control and pressing the input selection button on the top right of the remote control until you hear the desired source.
LED will blink fast, indicating it is ready to learn the IR command. Place your TV remote end to end with the Russound AVA remote control so that the front of both remote controls are within 1” (2.54 cm) of each other.
CREATING A 5.1 OR 5.2 AUDIO SYSTEM By combining a Russound AVA3.1 with an AVA2.1 or any stereo amplifier, it is possible to create a quick 5.1 surround (all stereo mode) system for any room. Use a stereo 3.5mm to RCA cable (not included) to connect from the Line Out of the AVA3.1 to the audio input of the AVA2.1 or other amplifier.
