Sherbourn Technologies PT-7010A - Manual (Page 12)

18 IEC Line Cord Socket
The PT-7010A comes with a detachable line
cord which connects here. Plug the line cord
into an AC wall socket or power strip which is
correctly configured with the voltage and
current supply specified for the PT-7010A.
19 Digital Inputs
These inputs connect to the digital outputs of your audio/
video components. The DVD, SAT and VID1 and CD
inputs have two options, optical or coaxial. The DAT and
VID2 inputs are coaxial only. Whenever one of these inputs
is selected from
the front panel
or remote, the
PT-7010A will
automatically
select the digital input if there is a signal present, otherwise
it will select the corresponding analog input.
20 Digital Output
This S/PDIF output is active for all sources
except the 8-channel input. It allows you to
record digital audio, for example to a DAT
or CD-R.
21 IEEE-1394"Firewire”Port
This connection is for future expansion and
accessories.
Installation and Connections
Observe the following precautions when choosing a
location for your Sherbourn PT-7010A:
1) Protect it from prolonged exposure to direct sunlight
and other direct sources of heat, such as heating vents
and radiators.
2) Do not expose the unit to rain or moisture. If fluid or a
foreign object should enter the unit, immediately turn off
the power and contact your Sherbourn Dealer.
3) Avoid excessive exposure to extreme cold or dust.
4) Do not place heavy objects on top of the unit.
5) If you need to clean the front surface, first turn off the
power and then use a soft dry cloth, rubbing with the grain.
Be careful not to scratch the display window.
AC Power Considerations
Ensure that the unit is plugged into an outlet capable of
supplying the correct voltage and current specified for your
model. Remember to account for the electrical power that
other components will require if they share a common wall
socket. The majority of household electrical sockets in
places other than the kitchen and garage are 15 amperes
maximum. Most DVD players and other source
components are fairly low current items. The Sherbourn
PT-7010A requires a minimum of 2 amperes @ 120 volts.
It should be sufficient to allow the PT-7010A to share a
wall socket with other video source units, but power
amplifiers and a video display (big screen TV or video
projector) should each be provided a SEPARATE electrical
connection on a SEPARATE circuit. This configuration
yields the most stable power supply in any home theater
application, regardless of your equipment choices.
IMPORTANT- Please note the PT-7010A requires
initialization after the power cord is plugged into the AC
receptacle. Push and hold the power button for
approximately. 5 seconds. The unit will power up after
this small delay. The second push of the power button will
turn the unit off and after this the unit will turn on and off
in a normal fashion
.
Refer to your power amplifier and video display owner’s
manuals to learn the power requirements so you can safely
plan your electrical power requirements for your home
entertainment system.
Connection Tips for Superior Sound
Before setting up your new system, please consider the
following:
• Whenever possible, route the power cords away from
the signal cables or speaker wires to prevent any hum or
interference heard in the speakers.
• Use quality coaxial digital cables to connect the PT-
7010A to any source equipment which has coaxial digital
outputs. Optical cables transmit only light pulses and are
much more immune to noises, but are sensitive to excessive
bends. Whichever you choose, follow the cable
manufacturer’s recommendations.
• Many RCA type patch cords can be a very tight fit and
there is usually a preferred method of getting them off.
Some have to be removed with a twisting action. Be gentle
or you may damage the jacks of your PT-7010A, or other
components.
• Many audiophile signal cables are intended to be hooked
up in one direction. If this is the case the cables will be
marked with arrows the direction of signal flow.
• It is usual for the right channel RCA patch cord plugs to
be red and the left channel connections to be white, grey,
or black (depending on the cable brand). RCA connectors
that are gold will be designated with a colored band to
designate the channel.
• If the amplifier to which you will connect the PT-7010A
features balanced XLR inputs, use the PT-7010A’s XLR
