Connecting the
Audio + Video Standard
to Your System
WARNING
When making conn~ions to thi.s compo-
nent or any other, make sure the power
amplifier is off and the preamplifier is in the
mute or stand-by mode. Make sure all
cable terminations are of the highest qual-
ity, free from frayed ends, shorts, or cold
solder joints.
For analog audio sources, connect the
left and right outputs of your source com-
ponents to the inputs on ,the Audio +
Video Standard. The Addio + Video
Standard is equipped with six single-
ended analog audio inputs ($1-$5 and
tape) via RCA connectors and one bal-
anced analog audio input (B1) via
XLR connector.
2. For digital audio sources, connect the
digital audio output of your source com-
ponents to the digital inputs on the Audio +
Video Standard. The Audio + Video
Standard is equipped with five digital
inputs: two coaxial inputs via RCA con-
nectors, two TosLink
TM
optical connec-
tions,
and one AES/EBU via an XLR
connector. For Dolby Digital (AC-3) sur-
round processing, connect the RF output
of a laser disc player to one of the RF
inputs.
Note
For source units that are equipped with both
digital and analog audio outputs, higher per-
formance will generally result when connect-
ing source units to the Audio + Video Standard
using a digital audio output.
Connect the video outputs of your video
sources to the video inputs on the Audio
+ Video Standard.
The Audio + Video Standard is equipped
with four S-video inputs and four composite
video inputs. S-video cables transmit the
color and luminance components of the
video signal separately. This separation is
performed by the comb filter
within the
source unit. If the source unit's comb filter is
superior to the one within the video monitor,
S-video connections should be used.
Otherwise, a composite video connection
should be used.
Notes
S-video cables should not be used for
lengths greater than 20 feet, for optimum
performance.
The Audio + Video Standard does not con-
vert video signal formats, Le., an S-video
input signal is output as an S-video signal
The same condition holds true for a com-
posite video signal
The Audio + Video Standard is equipped
with three S-video outputs and three com-
posite video outputs. The main S-video out-
put (28) and composite video output (35)
include on-screen graphics. The composite
video 1 output also has a parallel BNC con-
nector. For dubbing purposes, the second
and third video outputs do not include on-
screen graphics. These outputs may be con-
nected to the video inputs of your video
recorders or to:additional video monitors.
Connect the outputs of the Audio + Video
Standard to the input(s) of your power
amplifier(s).
