1. Audio/Video 1-6 Analog Inputs
All six audio/video analog inputs are com-
patible with typical analog line level
sources. Connect the left and right ana-
log audio output of your audio/video
source components to these inputs.
2. Video 6 Record
Use the Video 6 input and output for the
VCR you intend to use for recording.
Connect the left and right Video 6 Record
output jacks to the Record/Input jacks of
your VCR. Next, connect the Video 6
Record output to the video input of your
VCR.
Zone Outputs
The Zone audio and video output connec-
tions provide independent remote zone
operation. Connect the left and right Zone
audio output to your remote zone ampli-
fier and connect the video output to your
remote zone monitor.
3. Audio-Only 1-6 Analog Inputs
All six analog audio-only inputs are com-
patible with typical analog line level
sources. Connect the left and right ana-
log audio output of your audio source
components to any of these six audio-only
inputs.
4. 5.1 Analog Inputs
The 5.1 Analog Input connections accept
six channels of processed analog output
of a DVD player or processor with dis-
crete outputs. Connect the six discrete
outputs of your source component to the
corresponding 5.1 Analog inputs of the
AVC-2500.
5. Record Outputs
Connect the left and right Record output
jacks of the AVC-2500 to the Record/In-
put jack of your analog recording com-
ponent.
6. Main Outputs
The AVC-2500 provides a stereo output
pair for the Left and Right front and Sur-
round speakers, two monaural outputs for
the Subwoofer, and a single monaural out-
put for the center speaker. Connect these
outputs to the inputs of your power am-
plifiers.
7. AC Line Cord Receptacle
The rear panel mounted IEC standard AC
receptacle accepts the supplied AC cord.
Plug the female end into the rear mounted
AC receptacle and connect the male end
to an uninterrupted AC power line.
8. Control Connections
Infrared Inputs
The Main and Zone external infrared in-
puts provide infrared remote control op-
eration in the main and remote zones.
Connect the output of a compatible in-
frared repeater system to these inputs.
DC Triggers
These DC Trigger outputs provide +12
Volt DC trigger to activate equipment such
as power amplifiers or relays. Connect
these outputs to the DC input of the com-
ponent you want to activate.
Audio Trigger
This connector provides an audio trigger
to activate equipment such as power am-
plifiers or relays. Connect this output to
the audio sensing input of the component
you want to activate.
9. Digital Outputs
Connect the 75
Ω
Coaxial or Optical digi-
tal record outputs to the digital input of
your digital recording component.
10. Antenna Input Connections
Connect your antennas to these inputs.
Antennas are provided, but you can use
other antennas for improved reception.
11. RS-232 Control Port
The RS-232 External control port pro-
vides a control and feedback interface for
software based control systems.
12. Component Video Outputs
Component Video outputs have three
separate connections. Y is for luminance
and Cb and Cr are for the color differ-
ence signals. Connect the three compo-
nent Monitor output connectors of your
AVC-2500 to the input connector of your
monitor or projector.
13. Component Video Inputs
Each of the two component video inputs
have three separate connections. Connect
the component video outputs of your
DVD player, VCR, etc. to the Component
Video inputs of the AVC-2500.
14. Digital Inputs
Your AVC-2500 has seven digital inputs:
four 75
Ω
digital coaxial inputs, two fi-
ber-optic Toslink inputs, one balanced
AES/EBU, and a connector for an op-
tional RF demodulator. Connect the digi-
tal outputs of your source equipment to
these inputs.
15. Video Monitor Outputs
Both composite and S-video have output
connections with and without on-screen
display. Connect the Composite and S-
Video Monitor output connectors to the
input connector of your monitor or pro-
jector.
16. Composite and S-Video Inputs
Each of the six Audio/Video Inputs has
both composite and S-video connectors
with separate video circuits and amplifi-
ers. The AVC-2500 can only convert
video signals from S-video to composite
video, but not vice versa. For example,
when you connect a video signal to one
of the six RCA composite RCA input
jacks, the video signal will only be avail-
able through the RCA composite Moni-
tor and Record output jacks.
