Defining inputs and outputs for audio and video sources
The surround sound processor is at the heart of any home theater system. The S-1200/
1200U is very flexible in regards to integrating audio and video sources. It is recommended
to define and map out how each source component will be connected to the processor,
how the S-1200/ 1200U outputs will be connected to various amplifier channels and
eventually amplifier channels be connected to speakers. Any of the push button presets
on the front panel or remote control can be changed to accommodate different audio or
video assignments.
Here are the default input presets for audio and video devices.
