UNPACKING AND PLACEMENT GUIDELINES
Unpacking Your Model 7100
Carefully unpack your Model 7100 from its shipping carton and locate all the enclosed accessories:
• Remote control carton, contents: SRC1 remote control,
four AAA batteries, its own user’s manual and a DVD tutorial
• AC Power cord, two DC trigger connector wires, with small plugs at each. If both plugs are
2.5mm sub-mini type, 3.5-mm mini plug adapters are included. If wires have a 2.5mm plug
at one end and 3.5mm plug at the other no adapter is required.
While you are unpacking your Model 7100, inspect it thoroughly for possible shipping damage
and tell your Parasound dealer right away if you find any. If possible, save and store both the inner
and outer cartons and — most especially — the foam packing inserts, so you can use them to
protect the Model 7100 if you have to move it or ship it. You can flatten the cartons to save room
in storage by cutting the taped seams on the bottom flaps.
Placement Guidelines
The Model 7100 will be easy to use and will last longer if you follow these simple guidelines:
• Place the Model 7100 on a shelf that will adequately support its weight.
• Unless you’ll control the Model 7100 through a remote infrared sensor/repeater system,
pick a shelf placed where you can aim the remote controls at the Model 7100 easily. (If you
do use remote sensors, be sure the remote’s beams can’t reach both the IR repeater’s sen-
sor and unit’s front-panel sensors at the same time.)
If you’re installing the Model 7100 yourself, use cables that are long enough to leave at least
two feet of slack; that enables you to pull the Model 7100 out to change connections without
inadvertently disconnecting things. If you’re putting the Model 7100 in a cabinet, make sure
there’s grab space on each side; with a space that’s at least 22 inches wide, you’ll be able to
turn it around for access to its rear panel connections.
Rack Mounting Your Parasound Model 7100
With its four feet removed, the Model 7100’s front panel height occupies three rack spaces (51⁄4”
or 133 mm; a single standard rack space occupies 13⁄4” vertical space.) For mounting in a standard
19” equipment rack, you must use the Parasound RMK33 rack mount kit (purchased separately).
The RMK33 includes four bolts and eight plastic washers with raised “shoulders.”
Slide one washer onto each mounting bolt with its raised shoulder pointing toward the panel hole.
Carefully insert the bolt through the hole and slide the other washer on the bolt with its raised
shoulder facing the rear side of the panel. The washers will sandwich the Model 7100 panel
and the four mounting bolts to prevent metal-to-metal contact between the Model 7100
chassis, the equipment rack, and the other components mounted in the rack.
Note: Tighten each bolt just enough to keep the unit secure
in the rack to avoid deforming the shoulder washers.

GETTING STARTED 7
To get the most out of your Model 7100, you’ll need to know how to connect it to your other
components, how to set it up for your room and to work with each component, and how to
operate it. There are several tiers, or degrees of complexity, for connections, the setup choices
you’ll need to make, and for operating the Model 7100.
Basic Connections
These are the video and audio interconnect cables that go between your Model 7100 and the
TV, most popular source components and the power amplifier in your main home theater room.
Additional Connections
These are the video and audio interconnect cables that go between your Model 7100 and the
balance of the sources in your main home theater room. This includes connecting video and
audio recorders. After these are connected you can connect the cables and other types of
wires that go between your Model 7100 and the equipment in a remote zone and for special
features such as operating the 7100 from a remote control repeater system or triggering other
equipment on and off.
The first section of this manual will focus on Basic Connections so you won’t be overwhelmed
by system hookup.
Basic Setup
Basic setup includes the selections you’ll make in your 7100’s Setup Menu to match your
7100 to the speakers you’re using, to your TV set and to your most frequently used source
components. It also sets up each channel to play at the correct volume level in your room,
and so the sound from each channel reaches your ears at the correct time.
Intermediate Setup
Intermediate setup includes the settings you will make in the Setup Menu to set up each
source with a title (name) you prefer and to associate each source with a specific digital audio
input and a specific video input.
More Advanced Setup
This includes the selections you’ll make in your 7100’s Setup Menu to match your 7100 to
your less frequently used source components. It also includes the selections you’ll make in
your 7100’s Setup Menu for Dolby, DTS and THX parameters. After these are finished you
can make the settings that will optimize compatibility with analog sources, set up one or more
preset profiles in which you can save and recall a group of settings for bass, treble, lipsync and
channel trim levels. At this point you may wish to consider setting up the remote control with
macros that perform multiple commands with the press of a single button.
Frequently Used Controls
Basic operation includes the most frequently used controls on the 7100 and on its remote
control. This will enable you to turn the system on and off, adjust volume, select sources.
Secondary Controls and Operation
This includes the less used controls on the 7100 and its remote control. This includes surround
mode selection, late night listening feature, bass and treble adjust, enhanced bass feature.
Finally, you will learn how to switch on other components automatically and how turn on/off,
volume and source select for the remote zone.

Basic Connections and Basic Settings
This section of the manual focuses on helping you get your theater up and running in the
shortest possible time.
Let’s start with your DVD player, satellite receiver (or cable set-top box) and VCR, the first
three sources we think you’re likely to use most often. You can get to your other components
and remote zone after you master these.

Don’t attach the 7100’s AC cord yet. You will do this after all the other connections are made.

TV Set or Video Monitor Connections
You’ll obtain the best quality picture if you connect the trio of Component Video input jacks on
your TV to the three Component Video Out jacks on your 7100. Component Video connections
require three cables, which are readily available. The jacks are identified with red, green, and blue
colors. The component video cable’s plugs will be color coded to help you connect the same color
jacks on the TV and on your 7100.
Note: We recommend connecting your TV first so you can view the 7100’s setup menu on your
TV right away. This will enable you to visualize the menu and make setup selections faster.

Source Component Connections
Each source component has video output jacks plus a digital output jack and analog output
jacks for its audio. These jacks connect to corresponding input jacks on the 7100. In the 7100
Source setup menu you will “assign” the digital audio input jack and the video input jacks
which will be the actual inputs for viewing and listening when you select a source. We’ll get
into this in more detail further in the manual.
To get you started faster, we’ve already made some of these settings for you.
We’ve set up the 7100 for the analog audio, digital audio and video connections from your DVD
player, satellite receiver (or cable box) and VCR (or DVR), so you can start watching even before
you make any choices in the Setup menu.
Note: Of course, you’re welcome to connect other combinations of audio and video jacks, but
these will require changing a few of the factory settings in the Setup menu.

BASIC CONNECTIONS continued
Audio Connections
Your DVD player and satellite receiver have two kinds of audio outputs, analog and digital.
DVD Player
Most DVD players have two digital outputs, an opti-
cal “Toslink” connector and an RCA jack that is often
labeled Coaxial or Coax.
Connect the DVD player’s Coaxial jack to the Digital
Audio Input – Coax 1 jack on the 7100. Use a cable
made for digital because a conventional audio cable
may not have the correct electrical characteristics for
digital. You can usually use a video cable if you don’t
have a digital cable on hand.
Satellite Receiver
Satellite receivers and cable boxes often have
an optical Toslink digital output connector, but no
coaxial output jack. Connect this output to the
Digital Audio Input – Optical 1 connector on
the 7100. This requires a fiber optic cable with
Toslink connectors on the ends.
VCR
Connect the S-Video output (play) jack on the VCR to the 7100 Source S-Video Inputs – VCR jack.
Connect the S-Video input (record) jack on the VCR to any of
the 7100 S-Video Outputs – Main jacks.
Connect the L and R audio output (play) jacks on the VCR to
the 7100 Source Audio Inputs – VCR jacks on the 7100.
Connect the L and R audio input (record) jacks on the VCR to the Record Out jacks on the 7100.

7.1 Channel Theater
If you have a 7.1 channel system, you probably have a five channel power amplifier, a two
channel amplifier and a subwoofer with its own built-in amplifier. If your five channel amplifier is
of higher quality and higher power than your two channel amplifier, connect it exactly as in the
5.1 channel instructions above. Use the two channel amplifier for the back channels.

Note: We recommend using your two channel power amplifier for the Left and Right front
speakers if it is of higher quality and equal or higher power than your five channel
amplifier. Connect the five channel amplifier to your Center, Left Surround, Right
Surround, Left Back and Right Back speakers.
If you have a single seven channel amplifier, you can connect the first five channels like the five
channel amplifier example and connect the back channels to the amp’s channels six and seven.
Check all of your connections to make sure the plugs are inserted firmly in the jacks and there
isn’t any tension on the cables that might cause them to pull loose later on.
AC Cord
The AC cord plugs into the AC inlet on the 7100 and to your wall outlet or power strip.
Before plugging this in make sure the adjacent master AC Power switch on your 7100 is
switched to its Off position. Now plug in the AC cord.

BASIC OPERATION
Operating the 7100
After you’ve connected your TV, a few source components, power amplifiers, speakers and
subwoofer, your system is ready for its shake-down cruise. Select the TV’s input to be the
same as its Video Input jacks connected to the 7100 Video Out jack.
Press the rear panel master AC Power switch to its On position.
When you look at the front panel of the 7100 you should notice a
faint glow around its Power button. The red glow indicates that the
7100 is in a Standby mode, ready to turn on after you press its Power
button or press the remote handset’s ON button.
(Almost) Instant Gratification
The 7100 comes with certain setup choices already made for you so you can see and hear a DVD,
satellite broadcast or videotape right away. It is much quicker to use the remote control for most
operations, including navigating the menu to make other settings or to change the factory settings.

SURROUND SOUND
If your DVD is already playing you should see a picture and hear sound. We suggest using a
disc you know has 5.1 channel sound.
When you see the DVD’s program on your TV and hear the sound from your speakers it will
confirm you’ve made the correct connections and you can proceed to the basic setup selections.
Note: If you have a 7.1 channel system, you might not hear anything from the back speakers
at this point.
Adjusting Volume Adjusting Volume
Press the VOL + and – buttons – or – Turn the Volume knob
to adjust volume levels. to adjust volume levels.
The speakers won’t be playing at the correct levels relative to each other yet, because you still
need to make some adjustments for your room. The 7100 has a very simple menu to help you
make setup choices. It is easiest to view the menu on your TV because it can display more of
the menu. You can also see the menu on the front panel display, but the view is limited to the
setup item you are adjusting or selecting. We will refer to the TV onscreen display as OSD.

USING THE MENU FOR SETUP continued
Setup Menu Using the Remote
Press the MENU button
on the remote handset.
The main menu will appear.
Note: The OSD may not appear stable immediately after you press the Menu button. This is
because some TVs require a few seconds to synchronize with the 7100’s OSD signal.
Setup Menu Structure
Main Menu is displayed when you press the Menu button on the 7100 (or the MENU button
on the remote) one time.
Note: If you press either the unit’s Menu button (or the remote’s MENU button) while the
menu is displayed, it will cancel the menu and save your setup settings.
Under Main Menu are the six setup category sub-menu pages that are one level lower.
• Speaker setup
• Source setup
• Audio setup
• THX audio setup
• Display setup
• Trigger setup
Each of these pages branches out into even lower levels, with one or two of its own
sub-sub-menu pages. Many consider this arrangement to be sub-lime.

USING THE MENU FOR SETUP continued
Navigating the Menu with the Remote Handset
You can find menu pages and make selections with the remote
handset’s central left/right and up/down cursor buttons and
its Enter button. We call this group of buttons a thumbpad,
since you only need to move your thumb a short distance in
each direction to press any of these buttons.
You’ll soon know which button you’re pressing without hav-
ing to look at the remote; when you can keep your attention
on the Setup menu, the process will go much faster.
Note: The ENTER button is not the same as the
ENT button at the lower right of the handset.
When a menu page is displayed there will be a series
of headings below the name of that page. Press the up
and down buttons to position the menu cursor ( > )
alongside the one you wish to select. You press the
Enter button to select it, then the sub-menu page will
appear for that heading.
You’ll press the up or down button again to move
the cursor ( > ) next to the item you wish to select.
Actual adjustments or selections are made with the
right/left/up/down thumbpad buttons. After you
have made a selection, the cursor ( > ) will advance
down to the next listing. If you wish to review a
previous selection, press the up button to move the
cursor ( > ) up.
After all the selections for that page are made, press
the down button once more so the cursor ( > ) is
next to Exit. When you press the Enter button to
select Exit, the next higher level menu will reappear.
Note: You don’t have to make all the settings on
the page in order to exit it.
Note: You can also get to Exit by pressing the up button; press the up button when the cursor
( > ) is already on the top line and it will move to Exit. This will save you time if you want
to exit when the cursor ( > ) is above the middle of a page.

BASIC SETUP / SPEAKER SETUP
Navigating the Menu with the Front Panel Controls
The Menu button brings up the menu. It also functions like the down button on the remote
control and you can move the cursor only in the down direction. When you press Menu the
Volume/Select knob changes from its volume adjust to menu select. Turn the knob to make
selections; turning it to the right is equivalent to pressing the remote’s right thumbpad. Turning
it to the left is equivalent to pressing the left thumbpad. When the menu cursor reaches Exit,
turning the knob either way is equivalent to pressing the Enter button on the remote.
Saving Your Setup Selections
You may exit the menu and save your settings any of these four ways:
• By pressing the remote’s ENTER button when the cursor is by Exit.
• By turning the Volume/Select knob when the cursor is by Exit.
• By pressing the remote’s MENU button.
• By pressing the Exit button.
Note: If you press the ESC (Escape) button on the remote to escape from the menu, none of your
newest menu settings will be saved and you’ll have to re-enter all of your menu selections.
Now that you know the Setup menu structure and how to make selections,
it’s time to start Basic Setup.
Size Setup
“Small” speakers are those with limited bass capacity. To avoid distortion, the 7100 filters out
low bass frequencies from any channels with “Small” speakers and sends the bass to the
subwoofer channel output. This affects frequencies below the Subwoofer freq. you will select
further down on the “Size setup” menu page.
Note: The factory default setting = Small.
Main speakers, the left and right front speakers, may be set as “Large” or “Small.”
Center speaker may be set to “Large,” “Small,” or “No.” If your system has no center
speaker, set this to “No” so the 7100 will divert any center-channel signals into your front
left and right speakers. This is sometimes referred to as a “Phantom” center because, even
without an actual center channel speaker, you will still hear sound apparently coming from
between your front speakers.
Note: The factory default setting = Small.

This is the first thing you should set
up; it’s used to adapt the 7100 to the
number, locations, and types of speak-
ers in your system. The 7100 comes
with all speakers set to small because
this applies to a majority of systems.
