PRECAUTIONS:
Certain precautions must be taken in order to ensure proper
operation of your preamplifier-processor.
1. Never expose the unit to rain or moisture.
2. Never plug an input cable into the A/V PROCESSOR while
the unit is turned on.
3. Never apply the “thumb test” (touching the “hot” lead of
the input cable with your finger) to the tip of the input
cable or input jack of the preamplifier. RF rectification
and/or hum may be created and could cause damage to the
loudspeakers. ATI will not be responsible for damage to

Dolby Pro Logic IIx
Dolby Pro logic IIx is the latest version of Dolby’s Pro Logic
technology. Pro Logic II is a substantial improvement over the
original Pro Logic process; Pro Logic IIx is a new 7.1-channel
version of Pro Logic II. It can be employed only when back
surround speakers are connected. Otherwise, the A/V PROCESSOR
will provide only standard Pro Logic II processing.
The Pro Logic IIx Movie mode is intended for Dolby
Surround-encoded movie and TV soundtracks. It also works
well for video games, especially those encoded in Pro Logic II.
Use this mode for VHS tapes, standard TV broadcasts, and
DVDs encoded in Dolby Digital 2.0.
The Pro Logic IIx Music mode converts stereo music into
surround sound. Use it with any stereo music source,
including CDs, FM radio, and MP3 players.
Pro Logic IIx processing can also be applied to 5.1-channel
material, either Dolby Digital or DTS, to create 7.1-channel
surround sound.
DTS
This format is similar to Dolby Digital, but uses a higher
sampling rate. In its standard form, DTS provides 5.1-channel
surround sound. It is available on CD, DVD, laserdiscs,
PlayStation 2 video games, and D-VHS tapes. Audio-only DTS
discs may be used withany CD, DVD, or laserdisc player with
adigital audio output, but DVD discs with DTS audio must be
used on players with the “DTS Digital Out” logo.
DTS-ES
DTS-ES is an extension of the original DTS format that adds
an additional backsurround channel to a soundtrack. DTS
ES-Matrix titles provide the sixth channel by a matrix process,
while DTS ES-Discrete media delivers a true, discrete back
surround channel. Both DTS ES formats are backward
compatible with the original DTS process, and will deliver a
5.1-channel output when no center or back surround speakers
are available.
The A/V PROCESSOR will automatically sense the availability
of either DTS ES format and automatically switch the
processing mode when required.
DTS Neo:6
This processing mode can create up to six full-bandwidth
channels from any matrix-encoded 2-channel source. It offers
two modes, Cinema and Music. Use the Cinema mode for
movie soundtracks, the Music mode for stereo music.
Surround Format Information
The A/V PROCESSOR incorporates today’s most advanced
surround-sound technologies, including variants of Dolby
and DTS surround sound. Available processing technologies
include Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital EX, Dolby Pro Logic IIx
Movie and Music modes, DTS, DTS ES-Matrix and ES Discrete,
DTS Neo:6, It also offers 5-Channel Stereo and 7-Channel
Stereo modes.
You may note that the A/V PROCESSOR includes fewer
surround-sound modes than many other surround processors,
such as “stadium,” “concert hall,” “jazz club,” etc. This was a
conscious omission on our part—we consider such modes
artificial-sounding and useless. Our customers have told us
they don’t use them, either, and would rather not have to
scroll past them when selecting surround-sound modes.
If you want to hear surround sound from stereo sources, you
will achieve the best results by using Dolby Pro Logic II or
DTS Neo:6.
The table on the next page lists the surround processing
choices available within each mode. Depending on the selected
source (analog or digital) and your loudspeaker configuration,
certain processing options may not appear or operate.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
THE A/V PROCESSOR AUTOMATICALLY SENSES
AND SETS THE SURROUND MODE OF THE
SELECTED SOURCE. ANY DESIRED CHANGES,
FOR EXAMPLE: DOLBY DIGITAL SURROUND TO DTS-ES
MUST BE MADE AT THE SOURCE DEVICE (IF AVAILABLE).
Dolby Digital
This digital audio format provides 5.1-channel surround
sound Dolby Digital source material includes DVDs, digital TV
broadcasts, many PlayStation 2™ video games, all XBox™
video games, laserdiscs, some satellite-delivered and digital
cable programming, and D-VHS tapes.
Dolby Digital EX
Movie soundtracks encoded with Dolby Digital Surround EX
contain an extra back surround channel, added to the
soundtrack during mixing, which places audio behind the
listener. This additional channel provides more detailed
imaging behind the listener, enhancing depth, ambience, and
sound localization. One or two additional surround speakers
may be used. A list of movies EX-encoded movies can be
found on the Dolby web site, www.dolby.com.
Page 10

Stereo Listening Modes
The A/V PROCESSOR also offers advanced technology for
stereo listening(available In analog only). Not only does it
offer a stereo mode, it also offers additional modes that
enhance fidelity.
Stereo
This mode routes sound only to your front left and right
speakers, and to your subwoofer if one is connected.
7-Channel Stereo/5-Channel Stereo
These modes expand the sound from a stereo recording into
all channels of your surround-sound system. Because they
process the sound only minimally, these modes are popular
for piping music through the room for a party–you’ll get
fairly consistent sound all around the room.

Connecting Your A/V Processor
Before proceeding, please observe the following precautions
when connecting devices to your new A/V PROCESSOR.
■Do not plug the power cord into your A/V PROCESSOR
until all other connections have been made.
■Always refer to the instructions that came with the
component that you are connecting for specific
procedures, warnings, and options.
■For all analog connections, the red input jacks (R)
are used for the right channel, white input jacks (L)
are used for the left channel, and yellow input jacks
(V) are used for the composite video connection.
■Make sure to insert all plugs and connectors securely.
Improper connections can result in noise, poor
performance, or damage to the equipment.
■Do not bundle audio/video connection cables with
power cords and speaker cables. This may adversely
affect the picture and sound quality. For example,
run all the power cords down one side of the
cabinet, all the signal cords down the other side,
and the speaker wire down the center.
■When connecting devices to the digital inputs and
outputs, you may also consider hooking up the
analog connections to and from the components to
ensure that all signals can he employed by the A/V
PROCESSOR (especially if you plan to use the A/V
PROCESSOR ’s second-zone capability).
■When using an optical input or output jack, always
use a high-quality optical fiber cable.
IMPORTANT NOTE: WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT
BEFORE YOU CONNECT ANY LOUDSPEAKERS TO YOUR
AMPLIFIERS, YOU COMPLETE ALL NEEDED CONNECTIONS
AND SETUP PROCEDURES TO YOUR A/V PROCESSOR AS
OUTLINED BELOW. THIS WILL REDUCE THE CHANCE
THAT A MISCONNECTION OR OTHER ERROR WILL
PRODUCE AUDIO OUTPUT THAT MIGHT DAMAGE
YOUR SPEAKERS OR OTHER COMPONENTS.
Given the wide variety of components that can be used with
your A/V PROCESSOR, there are numerous ways in which
your system can be connected. We strongly suggest that you
record how various components are connected to the A/V
PROCESSOR, e.g. which type of input (analog, coaxial, S-Video,
etc.) is used. Keep this information for future reference.
In manycases, therewill be several possible ways to connect
a particular device. Use the diagrams on the following pages
as a guideline. The information in this section contains some
of the more common situations you might encounter in your
system. Always consult the owner’s manual that came with
the component you are connecting for more information on
the source component’s connections.
Connecting Audio Components
CD PLAYER OR MUSIC SERVER
Analog Connect the L and R channel outputs on the CD player
or music server to the CD jacks on the A/V PROCESSOR.
Digital Ifyour CD player or music server has a digital
output jack, connect it to one of the coaxial or optical input
jacks, depending on the type of connector used by the CD
player. Later, you will configure the A/V PROCESSOR to use
the specific input that you have chosen. For now, note which
digital input you used on your system chart.
AUDIO RECORDER
Arecording device such as a cassette deck, MD recorder, DAT
deck, or CD recorder can be connected to the A/V PROCESSOR
using either or both of the following methods.
Analog Connect the L and R audio outputs on the recorder
(usually marked PLAY) to the TAPE IN jacks on the rear of the
A/V PROCESSOR and connect the L and R audio inputs
(usually marked REC) to the RECORD OUT/TAPE jacks of the
A/V PROCESSOR.
Digital If your recorder has a digital output jack, connect it to
one of the coaxial or optical input jacks on the A/V PROCESSOR,
depending on the type of connector used by the device. Later,
you will configure the A/V PROCESSOR to use the specific
input that you have chosen. For now, note which digital input
you used on your system chart. If your recorder has a digital
input jack, connect it to the optical output (DIGITAL OUT) jack
on the A/V PROCESSOR. The signal from the selected digital
input source of the A/V PROCESSOR will be sent to the recorder.
COMPUTER
Computer audio can be connected to the A/V PROCESSOR in
a variety of ways. You will get the best sound using the digital
audio connections. You can also use your computer to record
sound from the other devices connected to the A/V PROCESSOR.
Analog Using an 1/8-inch stereo miniplug to dual-RCA adapter
cable, connect the audio output minijack on the computer’s
sound card to the TAPE IN jacks on the rear of the A/V
PROCESSOR. Likewise, connect the audio input minijack to
the RECORD OUT/TAPE jacks of the A/V PROCESSOR.
IF your computer has a digital audio output jack, you can
connect it to one of the coaxial or optical input jacks on the
A/V PROCESSOR, depending on the type of connector used by
the computer. Later, you will configure the A/V PROCESSOR
to use the specific input that you have chosen. For now, note
which digital input you used on your system chart. If your
computer has a digital input jack, connect it toeither the
coaxial or optical output jack on the A/V PROCESSOR. The
signal from the selected digital input source of the A/V
PROCESSOR will be sent to the computer.

Connecting Video Components
Before making connections to any video devices, it will help to
understand how the A/V PROCESSOR routes the video portion
of the signal.
■Any signal that appears at the composite video input
jacks is automatically sent to the composite and
S-Video video output and video record output jacks.
■Any signal that appears at the S-Video input jacks is
automatically sent to the composite and S-Video
video output and video record output jacks.
■Any signal that appears at the component video
input jacks is automatically sent to the component
video output jacks only.
■Any signal that appears at the DVI video input jacks
is automatically sent to the DVI video output jack only
(ATP8700).
NOTE: To provide the greatest flexibility, you should connect a
composite or S-Video cable from all of your video devices to the
A/V PROCESSOR, even if you are already using a component
video. This will allowall of your video sources to be visible
in the second zone, if you are using the A/V PROCESSOR’s
multi-zone capability.
Also, because the A/V PROCESSOR’s on-screen display does
not appear on the component outputs, S-Video, or composite
video connections should be used.
DVD PLAYER
Composite Connect the composite video output from the
DVD player to the DVD composite video input jack on the rear
of the A/V PROCESSOR using an RCA-type video cable.
S-Video If there is an S-Video output on the DVD player, and
you have an S-Video input on your TV or monitor, connect it to
the S-Video DVD input on the rear of the A/V PROCESSOR
using an S-Video cable. S-Video delivers a better picture than
composite connections and should be used whenever
possible—unless you can use component or DVI connections,
whichdeliver better pictures than S-Video.
Component Video If the DVD player has component video
outputs, connect them to the component DVD input jacks on
the rear of the A/V PROCESSOR.
DVI/HDMI If the DVD player has a DVI or HDMI video output,
and your TV/monitor has a DVI or HDMI input, connect it to
the DVI DVD input jack on the rear of the A/V PROCESSOR
(ATP8700). For HDMI-equipped DVD players, use an
HDMI-to-DVI adapter.
Page 15
Analog Audio Connect the L and R channel outputs on the
DVD player to the DVD analog audio jacks on the rear of the
A/V PROCESSOR.
Digital Audio Connect the digital output jack on the DVD
player to one of the coaxial or optical input jacks on the rear
ofthe A/V PROCESSOR, depending on the type of connector
used by the DVD player. Later, you will configure the A/V
PROCESSOR to use the specific digital audio input that you
have chosen. For now, note which digital input you connected
to on your system chart.
Multi-Channel Audio If your DVD player supplies a
multi-channel audio output for DVD-Audio or SACD playback,
connect the six outputs from your player to the 7.1 INPUT jack
seton the rear panel of the A/V PROCESSOR. Use the FRONT
L&R, SURR L&R, CEN and SUB jacks; ignore the jacks labeled
BACK L&R. (These are intended to accommodate 7.1-channel
audio technology if it appears in the future.) Be careful to
match the connections–L to L, right surround to SURR R, cen-
ter to CEN, and so on. If your player includes a built-in Dolby
Digital decoder with 5.1-channel analog audio outputs but no
DVD-A or SACD capability, we suggest that you do not use
them. Use one of the A/V PROCESSOR’s digital audio inputs
instead–you’ll get better sound.
Note: You must use the 7.1 INPUTS multi-channel audio input
for SACD and DVD-Audio players in order to hear the
high-resolution sound these players provide. Do not use the
digital audio inputs.
VIDEO RECORDER
Avideo recording device such as a VCR, PVR (such as TiVo®,
Replay®,DishPlayer®,or similar device) or DVD recorder can be
connected to the A/V PROCESSOR using the following methods.
CompositeConnect the composite video output from the

Page 16

Antenna Connections
The ATP8700 and ATP7700 A/V PROCESSORs have an inter-
nal AM/FM tuner with separate external connections for each
radio band.
FMAntenna (ATP8700 and ATP7700)
Push the coaxial connector onto the connector labeled FM
on the back of the A/V PROCESSOR.
The supplied FM antenna is for indoor use only. For best sig-
nal reception you must fully extend the antenna. Experiment
with the antenna’s position to obtain the strongest signal.
You can attach it to a wall or other surface using push pins,
tacks or small nails.
If FM reception is poor with the supplied indoor antenna, we
recommend using an amplified indoor or outdoor antenna.
You can connect a 75-ohm type FM antenna directly to the
A/V PROCESSOR.
AM Antenna
Connect the supplied AM antenna to the push terminals
labeled AM on the rear panel of the A/V PROCESSOR. Start by
pressing in the lever on one of the terminals. Next, insert one
of the antenna wires. Release the lever and repeat the process
with the other lever and the other wire. Experiment with the
antenna’s position to obtain the strongest signal.
Using the AM/FM Tuner
The high quality built-in AM/FM tuner on the ATP8700 and
ATP7700 has an auto-tune feature and may be programmed
with up to 10 presets. When using presets, it is not necessary
to switch bands manually. You can save AM and FM station
presets randomly. Presets will not be lost in the event of a
power failure.
To use the tuner, press the tuner button on the front panel or
on the remote control. Choose the AM or FM band by pressing
the AM/FM toggle button. Toauto-tune up or down the band,
momentarily press the seek-up or seek-down button on the
front panel (ATP8700 & ATP7700) or the CH UP or CH DOWN
buttons on the remote control. The tuner will begin to scan
and will lock on to the next useable station received. To set a
station as a preset, hold one of the 10 keypad buttons on the
remote control until you hear the station mute momentarily.
The station is now saved as that preset number.
Other Connections
Remote Control
The IR jacks allow you to extend the remote control sensor
built into the front of the A/V PROCESSOR so that you may
control the A/V PROCESSOR even when it is installed behind
solid or smoked cabinet doors. This jack allow you to control
the A/V PROCESSOR from a second zone (room), and they
also allow the A/V PROCESSOR to relay remote-control codes
to other concealed components. To install a remote sensor
(available from such companies as Niles Audio and Xantech),
connect it to the IR INPUT jack.
DC Trigger
MAIN ZONE TRIGGER is always used to turn on other devices
when the A/V PROCESSOR is powered on, and to turn them
off when you turn off the A/V PROCESSOR. We recommend
this jack with a compatible power amplifier, such as those
available from ATI.
Use a cable tipped at each end with a 1/8-inch (3.5mm) mono
phone plug to connect the A/V PROCESSOR’s MAIN ZONE
TRIGGER jack to the amplifier’s DC Trigger Input jack.
Use a cable tipped at each end with a 1/8-inch (3.5mm) mono
phone plug toconnect the A/V PROCESSOR’s 12 VOLT DC
TRIGGER jack to the DC Trigger Input jack on the component
you want to control. You may have to use an adapter, depending
on what type of input jack the other component uses.
RS-232 Port
The A/V PROCESSOR’s RS-232 port can be used to control the
A/V PROCESSOR through a computer touchscreen remote.
Note: When making connections to the RS-232 port, be certain
to use a “straight-through” male-to-female serial cable with
DB-9 connectorson each end. DO NOT use a serial cable
designed for “null modem” use.
Power Connection
Insert the supplied power cord into the AC input of the rear
panel of the A/V PROCESSOR. Use only the supplied power
cord—do notsubstitute a standard IEC type power cord.
CAUTION: Before you plug the power cord into an AC wall
outlet, confirm that all connections to the A/V PROCESSOR
have been made correctly.
WARNING: Never disconnect the power cord from the A/V
PROCESSOR while the other end is plugged into on AC outlet.
Doing so may cause an electric shock. Always connect power
byplugging into the AC outlet last and disconnect
byunplugging from the ACoutlet first.

Amplifier Connections
IMPORTANT NOTE: BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO MAKE ANY
CONNECTION TO YOUR POWER AMPLIFIER, MAKE SURE
THE AMPLIFIER IS TURNED OFF AND/OR DISCONNECTED
FROM AC POWER. FAILURE TO DO SO CAN RESULT IN SEVERE
DAMAGE TO YOUR AMPLIFIER AND/OR LOUDSPEAKERS.
Before attempting to make any connection to your power
amplifier, make sure the amplifier is turned off and/or
disconnected from AC power. Failure to do so can result in
severe damage to your amplifier and/or loudspeakers.
Main Zone
Use the audio jacks labeled AUDIO VIDEO OUTPUTS to connect
the A/V PROCESSOR to an external power amplifier such as
those from ATI. The A/V PROCESSOR can output up to 7.1
channels of sound (seven main channels and one subwoofer),
even when you are listening to 2-channel stereo material.
The output jacks supplied by the A/V PROCESSOR are: Front
Left and Right, Surround Left and Right, Surround Back Left
and Right, and Subwoofer (SUB) and Center (CEN).
Be sure to verify that the correct outputs are connected to the
appropriate input jacks on your amplifier—for example, Front
Left to Front Left, Surround Back Right to Surround Back
Right, etc. If the inputs on your amplifier are not labeled, it
probablydoes not matter which of the A/V PROCESSOR’s
output channels is connected to a particular amp channel.
However, you must be sure that the appropriate speaker is
connected to that amp channel.
When a powered subwoofer is used, connect the Subwoofer
output jackto the Line Input jack on your subwoofer (use
either the Left or Right input if your subwoofer has both) and
follow any specific connection and/or configuration
instructions supplied with the subwoofer. If your subwoofer
is a passive speaker (with no built-in amplifier), connect the
subwoofer output jack on the A/V PROCESSOR to the input of
the amplifier used to power the subwoofer, and then connect
the subwoofer speaker itself to the amplifier.
The ATP8700 offers both balanced (XLR) and unbalanced
(RCA) outputs. If your amplifier has balanced inputs, we
recommend you use balanced audio cables between the
ATP8700 and your amplifier. Using balanced cables could result
in a slight reduction in noise, and because XLR connectors
lock into place, they cannot come loose as RCA connectors can.
On the ATP8700, both balanced and unbalanced jacks are
active all of the time, so you can mix them up–for example,
using balanced connections for a high-end stereo amplifier
connected to your front left and right speakers, and
unbalanced connections for all of the other channels.
