Input Connections - NAIM AV2 Owner's Manual

7.0 av2 inputs and interfaces
Note: The entire AV system should be switched off before connecting or disconnecting any
inputs.
The av2 has a total of ten audio inputs: six stereo analog and four digital. The analog
inputs are connected through a combination of DIN and phono sockets while two digital
inputs are connected through optical "TosLink" sockets and two through coaxial phono
sockets. A remote control RC5 input is also fitted to enable remote control handset
commands to be relayed to the av2. This feature provides enhanced multi-room or
"concealed" installation flexibility. The RC5 input is selected during the Input Setup routine
described in Section 9. Your dealer or local Naim Audio representative will be able to offer
advice on its use.
Analog input sockets ONE and TWO are "versatile" sockets that can be combined to enable
the connection of source components that already offer multi-channel outputs - DVD
Audio and Super Audio CD for example. When operating in combined mode, eight or six
input channels (available on the two DIN sockets) are routed internally direct to the output
volume control, bypassing the internal signal decoding. Eight or six channel combined
mode is selected during the Input Setup routine described in Section 9.
The input THREE socket also carries a stereo audio output signal. If the av2 is to be
integrated into a conventional stereo audio system this input/output socket should be
connected either to the system's "tape monitor circuit" or in the case of a Naim system to
the appropriate preamplifier, power supply or power amplifier input socket.
More! Integration of the av2 with a conventional stereo audio system may
require a non-standard "reversed" connection cable. Your local Naim Audio
representative or dealer will be able to offer advice.
Each input socket and its appropriate connection is detailed in the following table. See
the illustration in Section 12 for socket and pin identification.

More! The 5 Pin DIN socket of Input 3 also carries stereo audio outputs. Input
3 should be used to connect the av2 to an existing Naim system.
More! The digital optical input sockets are fitted with protective plugs that
must be removed before use.
