AVR7200
REAR-PANEL CONNECTIONS
Coaxial Digital Audio Inputs: Connect the coax
32
digital audio output from a DVD player, HDTV receiver,
the S/P-DIF output of a compatible computer sound card
playing MP3 files or streams, LD player or CD player to
these jacks. The signal may be a Dolby Digital signal,
DTS signal or a standard PCM digital source. Do not
connect the RF digital output of an LD player to
these jacks.
Video 1 Inputs: Connect the analog audio and
33
composite or S-Video PLAY/OUT jacks of a VCR or
other video source to these jacks.
8-Channel Direct Inputs: These jacks are used
34
for connection to source devices such as DVD-Audio
or SACD players with discrete analog outputs. Depending
on the source device in use, all eight jacks may be
used, though in many cases only connections to the
front left/right, center, surround left/right and LFE (sub-
woofer input) jacks will be used for standard 5.1 audio
signals.
35
RS-232 Port: This jack is used to enable the
AVR 7200 to be controlled by an external computer
or programmable remote system that uses RS-232
commands. Due to the complexity of RS-232 con-
nections, we recommend that they be made only by
a trained and qualified custom installer. See page 36
for more information on the RS-232 control port.
