Connecting a TV and speakers
There are 5 video output connections to take the picture to your
TV.Theseare-
1. HDMIdigitaloutput(pictureandsound)
2. PrPbYcomponent(pictureonly)
3. SCART(pictureandsound,240Vversiononly)
4. S-Video(pictureonly)
5. CVBScompositevideo(pictureonly)
The highest quality connection is at the top, the lowest at the
bottom. Your TV will probably have several connection options
forpicture (video)input.Forthebestqualitypicture,checkwhich
connections are available on your TV and use the one nearest
thetopofthelist.
CONNECTING THE AVR-1 TO ATV
There are speaker connections for up to 6 speakers set up in a
surround sound configuration. The speaker connections are
labelledtomatchthepositionofeachspeakerasfollows-
-FRisfrontright
-FLisfrontleft
-RRisrearright
-RLisrearleft
-CENisfrontcentre
-RCENisrearcentre
Position your speakers as instructed in the handbook for the
speakers. Connect the wires from each speaker to the correct
terminals at the rear of the AVR-1 for that speaker. Ensure that
the + speaker terminals (coloured red) connect to the top +
terminals of the AVR-1 by connecting the striped wire to the +
terminals.
CAUTION:- When connecting speaker wires make sure that no
loose wire strands can touch another terminal. This may
permanentlydamagethe circuitryof theAVR-1.

The AVR-1 may also be used as a source for an external
surround-sound decoder or receiver. An external decoder or
receiver may be used in a large room with large speakers to
achieve more output power than the internal amplifiers of the
AVR-1canproduce.Allchannelsofthemulti-channelsignalfrom
the AVR-1 are connected to the Decoder/Receiver through a
singledigitalcoaxialphonocable. NOTE:-FM/AM radioandAux
input signals connected to the AVR-1 are not available through
thedigitaloutput.

CONNECTING TV SOUNDAND OTHER SOURCES TO THE AVR-1
BothTVAudioandAUXinputs areavailable ontheAVR-1forthe
connectionofothersignalsources.IfyourTVisconnectedwitha
SCART cable, then no further connection is necessary to listen
to TV sound through your AVR-1. If your TV is not using the
SCART connector and has a stereo audio output, we
recommend that you connect it to the TVAUDIO in connections
of theAVR-1. You can then play sound from your TV through the
multi-channelsurrounddecoderbuiltintotheAVR-1 byselecting
theTVinputoftheAVR-1.
Similarly,youmayhaveanotherstereo audio-visualsourcesuch
as a VCR that can be connected to theAUX input of theAVR-1.
The VCR sound can then be played through the AVR-1 on the
main system speakers and decoded into multi-channel sound if
preferred.

INFORMATIONS RELATIVES À L'ÉLECTRICITÉ
INTERRUPTEUR PRINCIPAL
Le récepteur AUDICA AVR-1 DVD comprend quatre
composants en un seul appareil : un lecteur DVD, une radio
AM/FM, un décodeur de son surround et un amplificateur à 6
canaux. En plus de l'AVR-1 vous aurez besoin d'un téléviseur et
d'un système de haut-parleurs comprenant 2 à 6 canaux. Il est
recommandé d'utiliser un système à 6 canaux pour obtenir
l'expériencedesonsurroundlaplusréaliste.
Déballez votre système avec précautions de façon à ne pas
endommager ni perdre de pièces. Pour une liste des éléments
fournis avec le système, voir les caractéristiques en page 16.
Conservez les emballages au cas où vous auriez besoin de
renvoyer l'appareil.
N'essayez pas de réparer ce produit vous-même car l'ouverture
du boîtier ou des panneaux peut vous exposer à des tensions

Lorsqu'il est nécessaire de changer des pièces, assurez-vous
que le technicien utilise les pièces de rechange fournies par le
fabricant ou ayant les mêmes caractéristiques que les pièces

Cet équipement a été testé et il est conforme aux limites
imposées pour un équipement numérique de classe B,
conformément à la section 15 des directives FCC. Ces limites
sont conçues pour offrir une protection raisonnable contre les
radiations nuisibles dans une installation résidentielle. Cet
équipement génère, utilise et peut émettre de l'énergie sous
forme de fréquences radio et, s'il n'est pas installé et utilisé
conformément aux instructions, il peut produire des
interférences nuisibles à la communication radio. Cependant, il
n'existe aucune garantie que ces interférences ne se produiront
pas dans une installation particulière. Si cet équipement produit

Alimentation secteur : la tension de fonctionnement de cet
appareil est indiquée sur sa plaque nominale, à l'arrière. Au
Royaume-Uni,elleestde230/240V.
Le AVR-1 est fourni avec un cordon d'alimentation terminé par
une prise secteur anglaise certifiée dotée d'un fusible de 3A. S'il
devient nécessaire de remplacer le fusible, choisir un fusible
BS1362 de 3A, certifié ASTA ou BSI. Si vous avez besoin de
changer la prise secteur, retirez le
fusible et jetez la prise
immédiatementaprès l'avoircoupée
du cordon, en respectant les
précautionsdesécurité.
Le AVR-1 ne possède pas
d'interrupteur d'alimentation. Si vous avez besoin de couper
