Before conn ecting your A V950/A VR750/450/380 to
your sour ce compone nts and speakers, pl ease read
through the next few pages which will explain all the
inpu t and ou tput co nnectivity that is a vailable. e
‘S peakers ’ section explains how t o connect up your
speakers to av oid damage t o the amplier a nd how to
arrange y our speakers for best perfo rmance.
General
e inp uts are na med to make it easier to r eferen ce
connected devices (e.g. ‘BD ’ or ‘VCR ’). ey all have the
same inp ut circuit, so there i s no reason why y ou should
not conn ect a dierent device to an y of the in puts. F or
examp le, if you had tw o BD player s and the A V inpu t
was not being used, then the second BD pla yer could be
connected to the A V inp ut.
When conn ecting a video source, its au dio must be
connected to the corres ponding sockets. Fo r examp le,
if you a had a sa tellite decoder plugged in to a S AT video
inpu t, the audio m ust be connected to the S AT audio
inpu ts!
Generally , HD MI connections p rovide better q uality
than Composit e, although for a video sour ce to
be available in Zone2 y ou mus t have a Com posite
connection between A V950/A VR750/450/380 and the
sou rce.
Making connections
< Wher ever possible, connect both the analogue
and digital ou tputs o f digital sources. is enab les
use of a digital inp ut for the ma in zone and the
correspon ding analogue inp ut fo r the Zone2 outp ut.
< T ake care t o place cables as far fro m any po wer
supp ly cabling as is p racticable, to red uce hum and
other noise pr oblems.
