5.
Digital inputs
-
Inputs labeled V1, V2, TV-V3, TUNER, DVD/VLD, and CD used to
connect a digital audio signal from your source to the AVP preamplifier.
The incoming signal may be either a PCM or Dolby Digital signal, you
configure the input (in the setup menu) according to your system needs.
These inputs are coaxial only.
PLEASE NOTE:
The DIGITAL inputs on the AVP3090 will only accept an Industry Standard Consumer
Audio
DIGITAL
input signal.(See setup procedure in this manual)
When you connect a Dolby Digital source to an AVP with Dolby Digital, the signal
must
be an Industry Standard Consumer Audio
DIGITAL
signal into the
AVP3090.
Laserdisc players normally have an Industry Standard Consumer Audio RF AC-3
signal. This type of AC-3 signal requires an AC-3 RF demodulator to be placed
between the player and the AVP3090. This converts the RF AC-3 signal, out of
the laserdisc, to an AC-3 DIGITAL signal. This signal can then be processed by
the AVP1030 digital inputs.
6. ZONE 1 PRE-OUTS

Setup
It’s tempting to just plug in your new AVP and have great sound pour out. Before you
do that, take a few minutes to plan out how you want the preamplifier to fit into your
audio/video system. If you haven’t already done so, ask yourself the following
questions:

What source components do I want to connect to my preamplifier? (CD, VCR,
etc.)

What components do I want my preamplifier to send output to?

What equipment in my system will be receiving and displaying the audio and
video? (TV monitor, Audio amplifier, etc.)
The answers to your questions determine how many cables you need to connect to the
back of the AVP. For example, if you want your preamplifier to access a CD player,
VCR, and Laser Disc player, then output the result to a TV monitor and stereo speaker,
you will end up with multiple connections. On the other hand, if your source component
is a VCR and your output component is your TV monitor and speaker, you will need less
connections. Whatever your audio/video system configuration, good preplanning
equals great sound. Keep these recommendations in mind.
@
Keep the cables between audio sources and video sources separate.
@
Before you begin connecting equipment, decide what types and lengths of
interconnects are required for all your components to work well together. You
should also plan the paths for all interconnects. Remember, use high quality
connections to maintain high quality audio and video.
@
The type of cable you use, the length of the cable run, and obstacles in the
cable’s path (doorways, furniture, walkways, etc.) are also factors to think about.
To really optimize your system, talk to your dealer about cable products
available, to decide which one’s right for you.
@
List all components in your system. Be sure to indicate which jack on the rear
panel of the AVP each component should be connected to. It’s a good idea to
also note the length of the cable for each component’s connection and describe
how it should be routed, or you could draw your routing scheme below your list.
As a shortcut, you can assign a number to each cable, write the number on a
label and attach it to the cable near both ends. This makes it easy to identify.

Page 15
 
 '&
 
@
To ensure maximum safety, keep all cables out of high traffic areas (hallways or
doorways) and away from equipment that radiates power, including amplifiers,
power cords, heaters, etc.
@
If you might expand your audio/video system later, keep these ideas in mind as
you plan current cable runs.
Factory reset
Reset the AVP before you start. Plug in the power and turn the AVP on. When the
display shows:
Press the
7

Digital connection
The AVP preamplifier is equipped with six coaxial digital inputs. The digital inputs will
accept either a standard PCM digital input or a digital Dolby Digital input. If you wish to
use a source that has a TOSLINK output, you must convert it to coax. If you wish to
use a laserdisc player that has a RF Dolby Digital output, you must convert it to digital
Dolby Digital.
The B & K DT-1 will do both conversions for you.
To connect a digital input to the AVP, simply connect a coax cable from the digital
output on your source (CD, DVD/VLD...etc.) to the appropriate orange digital input on
the AVP (CD, DVD/VLD...etc.).
In the
SETUP
menu, select digital on for the appropriate source, to enable the digital
input (CD DIGITAL ON, VLD DIGITAL ON...etc.).
To connect a digital Dolby Digital (AC-3) signal
(NOT RF)
to the AVP, simply connect a
coax cable from the Dolby Digital output on your source to the appropriate orange digital
input on the AVP (normally DVD/VLD). This output
MUST
be a digital output and
NOT
RF
.
In the
SETUP
menu, select digital on
or
digital AC-3, to enable the digital input. The
digital input will automatically switch to Dolby Digital if it is set to ON and a Dolby Digital
signal is present. The AVP will default back to PCM when the Dolby Digital signal stops
for more than 30 seconds. Setting the digital to AC-3 will only allow a Dolby Digital
signal to be accepted.
To set an input for DTS only, select DIGITAL DTS. This will only allow DTS material to
be processed from the input. No advanced star operations will operate.
