allows you to choose which inputs will activate the relay.
The +12 VDC outputs are on when-ever their zone is
enabled. Sherbourn amplifiers have a +12 VDC input
which allows them to be turned on automatically by the
PT-7010A. The 1 /8" mini-jack is wired in parallel with
the terminals. Do not exceed a current draw of 500 mA
total for both outputs.
7 RS-232 Port
This connects to the serial port of a home or
laptop computer, allowing the PT-7010A
flash memory software to be up-graded. The
latest software can be downloaded from the Sherbourn
website, see page 60. It also allows connection of an op-
tional control device intended to be installed in a remote
location.
8 XLR Audio Outputs
These line-level
balanced XLR
outputs connect to the
XLR inputs of your
amplifiers and
powered subwoofer.
The outputs are: front
left, front right,
center, left surround, left surround back, right surround
back, right surround and one subwoofer (LFE) output. If
your amplifier has a choice of inputs, we recommend using
the XLR balanced type. This gives better noise rejection,
especially for longer cable runs.
9 Main Audio Outputs
These line-level RCA
outputs connect to the
inputs of your
amplifiers and powered
subwoofer(s). There
are outputs for front left, front right, center, left surround,
left surround back, right surround back, right surround and
three identical subwoofer (LFE) outputs.
10 8-CH Analog Input
These analog audio inputs can
connect to the output of an external
surround processor, or a source
component such as DVD-Audio,
SACD, or a DVD player with its own surround decoder.
You can select this as an input from the front panel or
remote control. The eight channels of analog audio will
then pass into the PT-7010A Note: This is designed to be
a very short, ultra pure, analog-only signal path. DSP-
based effects such as tone controls, bass management and
DSP surround are by-passed in order to maintain the
highest fidelity. This input is not available in Zone 2.
11 FM Antenna
The supplied FM antenna fits this “F-type” screw-
on connector. Other antennas can be fitted for
improved reception.
12 AM Antenna
These connections are for the included AM loop
antenna.
13 Ground Screw
This is commonly used for the ground connection
wire of a turntable, to prevent any hum in your
speakers. It is tied to the chassis ground, and may
be used as needed.
Note: It is not necessary or desirable to connect this to an
electrical ground.
14 Audio Inputs
These audio inputs connect to the outputs
of your turntable, DAT or TAPE player.
Any standard audio component with a
line-level output can be connected to
DAT or TAPE. Only a turntable with a
moving-magnet, or high-output moving coil cartridge can
be connected to the PHONO input.
15 Audio Outputs
These audio outputs connect to the analog
record inputs of your tape decks, such as DAT,
cassette or reel to reel. These outputs allow
you to record the selected audio program. Note
that these also allow analog recording from
digital audio sources.
16 Stereo Outputs
FIXED MAIN is a line level output, and the
volume is not adjustable. This can be used as
a record output, or to feed another audio
system. ZONE 2 connects to the inputs of a
stereo amplifier to run Zone 2. The volume
and source are adjustable, either from the front panel, or
from a remote IR sensor.
17 Side-Axis Outputs
These outputs provide two optional front side
channels to complement the left, center, right,
surround and surround back channels. They can
be turned on or off using the Speaker Size OSD
menu (see page 37).
