or table recommended by the manufacturer, or sold with the product. Any mounting of the product should follow
manufacturer’s instructions, and should use a mounting accessory recommended by the manufacturer.

8. Ventilation – Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the
product and to protect it from overheating, and these openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should
never be blocked by placing the product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This product should not be placed
in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer’s
instructions have been adhered to.
9. Power Sour es – This product should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label.
If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your product dealer or local power company. For
products intended to operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.
10. Grounding and Polarization – This product may be equipped with a polarized alternating-current line plug (a plug having
one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are
unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your
electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
11. Power- ord Prote tion – Power-supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched
by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the
point where they exit from the product.
12. Outdoor Antenna Grounding – If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the product, be sure the antenna
or cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article
810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with regard to the proper grounding of the mast
and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna-discharge unit, size of grounding conductors,
location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.
13. Lightning – For added protection for this product during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for
long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable systems. This will prevent
damage to the product due to lightning and power-line surges.
14. Power Lines – An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric
light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system,
extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.
15. Overloading – Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can result in
a risk of fire or electric shock.

1.8 INTERCONNECTS
These illustrations show audio, video, IR, and trigger onne tors used between sour e omponents, the
pro essor, displays, and power amplifiers. RCA oaxial ables with 75-ohm impedan e are equally suitable
for analog video and digital audio.
Read before calling for technical support due to bad, intermittent, or no picture via HDMI!
1080p uses twi e the bandwidth that 720p and 1080i do – make sure that the able is suitable for the
appli ation otherwise the pi ture may ontain pixel dropouts or not play at all.
Use HDMI Category 2 cables, also known as “v1.3 ertified”. This is a requirement for all onne ting
devi es in luding extenders when onne ting a display that supports Deep Color (10- or 12-bit).
Conne ting devi es that worked in an older setup may not work with Deep Color. If the sour e allows
Deep Color to be turned off, start troubleshooting by turning it off.
12-bit Deep Color that works at 1080p24 may not work at 1080p50 or 1080p60.
BE CAREFUL WHEN MAKING HDMI CONNECTIONS. The onne tor should easily slide in the ja k – do
not insert it on an angle and do not for e it. Ea h onne tor ontains 19 deli ate pins and damaged pins
an damage ja ks. Su h damaged ja ks are not overed by warranty. If your HDMI ables have been
onne ted enough times that they are about to wear out, we re ommend that you repla e them.
If using DVI connection note that ables with DVI onne tion on one end and HDMI onne tion on the
other are more reliable than DVI-HDMI adapters. If you are having a onne tion problem and an adapter
is in use, start troubleshooting by eliminating the adapter.

2.1 VIDEO CONNECTIONS
To onfigure inputs see section 3.6 and to onfigure video outputs see section 3.1.
HDMI
Video is sent with audio from sour e omponents to the pro essor. Maximum video resolution is 1080p60.
Conne t MAIN HDMI output to a display with HDMI or DVI input – one with High-bandwidth Digital Content
Prote tion (HDCP) is required to display opy-prote ted material. DVD players usually enable HDCP even on
home movies. If the source is protected, only HDMI video output is active (see se tion 4.14).
Component Video
Component video uses three oaxial ables and has a maximum resolution of 1080p when unpro essed or
480p when the sour e is opy-prote ted with Ma rovision. Maximum input resolution is 1080i60 if the input
is pro essed or onverted to HDMI. The se ond Component output an be used in MAIN, pro essed or
unpro essed, or in ZONE2.
S-Video
Maximum resolution is 480i (NTSC) / 576i (PAL). This onne tion keeps brightness and olor separate for a
better pi ture than Composite. S-Video input an be onverted to Component and HDMI output (MAIN only).
Composite Video
Maximum resolution is 480i (NTSC) / 576i (PAL). This traditional format ombines the bla k/white and olor
information for transmission on a single oaxial able. To be displayed, the information has to be separated,
a pro ess that degrades video quality. Composite inputs an not be onverted or pro essed. If you use a
VCR, one with S-Video output is re ommended. If a omposite video sour e is bla k and white, it an be
plugged into a Component video’s Yinput. If there is no hoi e but to onvert a olor sour e’s omposite
output, a omposite to S-Video onverter is needed (not an adapter turned ba kwards).

HDMI swit hing requires
at least two se onds per

2.2 AUDIO CONNECTIONS
Digital Audio Inputs and Outputs
Digital audio sour e omponents an be onne ted with a oaxial, opti al, balan ed, or HDMI able. These
arry 2- hannel PCM, Dolby Digital, and DTS. The HDMI inputs also a ept up to eight hannels of PCM.
Use the HDMI inputs if your display has HDCP- ompliant HDMI or DVI input, otherwise use the oaxial or
opti al inputs. The pro essor also provides one balan ed AES/EBU onne tion, whi h is used on
professional equipment. Any digital input an be assigned to any number of sour es that are set to digital.
To change digital audio connection from factory default, see section 3.6.
Digital Re -Out an provide a signal to the digital audio input of a Mini Dis re order, CD re order et . from
any sour e set to Digital (ex ept HDMI) or Anlg-DSP – see se tions 3.6 to 3.9.
Analog Audio Inputs
Analog audio onne tions are made with RCA or XLR ables. To use ZONE2, ZONE3, or RECORD, onne t
digital and analog audio and video* from the sour e. ZONE2, ZONE3, and RECORD require analog onne tion
unless set to opy MAIN (explained in se tions 3.6 and 4.3).
6-Ch Analog Input
The 6-Ch input is for onne ting DVD-Audio and multi hannel SACD players that do not have HDMI output.
When 6-Ch is sele ted, the video signal from DVD input is routed to the video outputs by fa tory default – to
hange this, see se tion 3.6.
HDMI connection with cable and satellite receivers may be problematic espe ially when output
resolution follows ea h hannel (native or pass-through mode). If there is a problem with HDMI from
able or satellite use omponent video onne tion instead, with oax or opti al onne tion for audio.
As these onne tions were designed to arry HDTV formats, there is almost never a differen e in
pi ture and sound quality with proper settings. As well, swit hing between hannels is faster.
*Some boxes disable their component video output once HDMI is connected. To use the box in a
se ondary zone that uses omponent video, onne t the box to the pro essor via omponent, not HDMI.

Analog Audio Outputs
Balan ed onne tion offers the highest transmission quality over long able lengths, be ause it reje ts
noise pi kup. In the pro essor, XLR output voltage is twi e that of RCA (6 dB higher). The RCA outputs and
the XLR outputs are always a tive – both an be used at the same time if the system requires it.
Parallel outputs are provided for a se ond enter hannel speaker and/or subwoofer. If your s reen is large,
you might want to use one enter hannel speaker above it and another one below it. One way to tame room
resonan es is by using multiple subwoofers playing the same signal from different lo ations in the room.
If you are not using the se ond set of balan ed SUB2 and CENTER2 outputs, they an be reassigned as
ZONE2 L/R outputs to ensure noise reje tion if the ZONE2 amplifier has balan ed input and it’s at a distan e
from the pro essor (see se tion 3.9).
If you’re using one rear hannel, use the Rear-L output to onne t it (see se tion 3.3).
Shown below are the analog audio RECORD outputs whi h onne t to the audio inputs of re ording devi es,
together with the outputs that onne t to amplifiers for ZONE2 and ZONE3:
Why am I not getting sound in ZONE2, ZONE3, or RECORD?
For ZONE2, ZONE3, and RECORD to have any output, the sour e omponents being used there must be
onne ted to the pro essor with the same type of onne tion. For example, if a sour e is onne ted via
HDMI, there won’t be output in ZONE2 unless you make additional onne tions from the sour e to the
pro essor – analog L/R for audio, and Component, S-Video, or Composite video – whi hever type the
display in ZONE2 uses.
The ex eption is when using Copy mode for audio – see se tion 4.3.

2.3 FM • AM ANTENNAS
To onne t the AM loop antenna, press the spring-loaded tabs of the AM
ANTENNA onne tor and insert the bare ends of the two wires. Move the
antenna until best re eption is found.
To onne t the FM antenna, onne t the two wires to the s rew terminals of the
75-ohm to 300-ohm adapter, then onne t the adapter to the FM ANTENNA
onne tor. Move the antenna until best re eption is found – this is usually a “T”
formation. If your able ompany provides FM servi e, you an onne t the able
to the pro essor.
2.4 12 VOLT TRIGGERS
If your other omponents have provisions for a trigger, you an have them turn on
and off together with the pro essor, or when a spe ified sour e is sele ted.
Conne t a trigger output from the pro essor to the trigger input of your power
amplifier, display, et ., using a able with 3.5mm mono mini plugs.
The pro essor provides flexible trigger options. From the fa tory, all the triggers are disabled. Through the
setup menu, you an spe ify the onditions for enabling triggers (see se tion 3.11).
2.5 POWERED IR (INFRA RED) RECEIVERS
External IR re eivers allow the remote ontrol to be used from other lo ations in
your home. On e an IR re eiver is wired to another room, onne t it to one of the
three IR RECEIVER inputs through the removable terminal blo k. To use the
terminal blo k, remove it from the pro essor, loosen the proper s rew, insert the
wire in the slot, tighten the s rew onto the wire, and insert the terminal blo k into
the pro essor. See se tion 3.11 for Setup information.
In addition, there is no need for an external 12V supply to power the re eivers –
use the pro essor’s built-in supply instead for up to three IR re eivers and
onne t a ording to the IR re eiver manufa turer’s instru tions.
Custom Installers The pro essor’s IR inputs sense modulated 38 kHz arrier, not demodulated data.
With some ontrol systems, an emitter fa e-to-fa e with an IR re eiver may be needed.
2.6 IR (INFRA RED) EMITTERS
IR emitters allow ontrol of your sour e omponents from any lo ation in your
home that has an IR re eiver onne ted to the pro essor. After positioning the IR
emitter a ording to its instru tions, onne t it to IR EMITTER output. Commands
through the rear IR RECEIVER are re-transmitted through the IR emitters.

Cable and satellite receivers HDTV re eivers an be onne ted as above although HDMI connection may be problematic
with older models espe ially when output resolution hanges between SD, 720p, and 1080i a ording to the hannel. If HDMI
is problemati use omponent video onne tion instead, with oaxial or opti al onne tion for audio.
ln any ase, using oax/opti al for audio results in faster audio swit hing when video resolution hanges.
