10 FM antenna input (see page 22)
Use this to connect an FM antenna. This jack accepts a 75-ohm coaxial
cable. To use a 300-ohm “twin-lead” connection or the supplied FM
antenna, connect the supplied 75-to-300-ohm balun between the antenna
lead and this jack.
11 AM antenna input (see page 22)
Use this to connect the supplied AM loop antenna or any other external
AM antenna.
12 Video 1 record output (see pages 16, 21)
Connect these audio and video jacks to the input of a VCR or a DVD
recorder, so you can record whatever source is being played in the main
room. If the recorder has an S-Video input, use that connection instead
of composite video.
13 AC input (see page 23)
Connect the supplied AC power cord here. Do not use standard IEC type
power cords.
14 Trigger output 1 (see page 23)
This jack provides a 12-volt DC output whenever the Model 990 is switched
on. Usually, this jack is used for automatic turn-on of a compatible ampli-
fier equipped with a DC trigger input.
15 Trigger output 2 (see page 23)
This jack provides a 12-volt DC output whenever certain inputs are selected;
through the Model 990’s on-screen menu, you can select which inputs
activate the trigger. This jack is most often used in conjunction with video
inputs, so you can automatically turn on a projector and/or lower a screen
when a video input is selected.
16 IR inputs (see pages 18, 22)
Connect an external infrared sensor to these inputs. This configuration allows
remote control of the Model 990 even if it is installed in a cabinet with solid
doors. It also allows control of the Model 990 from a second room.
17 IR output (see page 22)
Use this output to feed an infrared flasher attached to another piece of
audio/video gear. Any infrared remote signal received by the Model 990’s
front-panel sensor or by an external sensor connected to the Model 990
will be relayed through this jack, so concealed audio/video devices can
be controlled by remote.
18 Balanced audio outputs (see pages 17, 22)
These outputs carry 7.1-channel audio from the Model 990 to an external
amplifier or amplifiers equipped with balanced inputs. These are profes-
sional-style outputs that carry the plus and minus audio signals separately
from the ground signal. This arrangement automatically cancels out any
noise that enters the cable connecting the Model 990 and the amplifier.
19 Preamp audio outputs (see pages 17, 22)
These outputs carry 7.1-channel audio from the Model 990 to an external
amplifier or amplifiers.
20 7.1-channel audio input (see page 21)
Use this input group to connect a device with analog multi-channel out-
puts, such as a DVD-Audio or Super Audio CD player. You may assign any
of the DVI or component video inputs to appear with this audio input, as
well as the composite or S-Video inputs specifically designated for use with
the 7.1 audio input.
21 Subwoofer outputs (see page 17)
Connect either or both of these outputs to the input of a powered subwoofer
or to the amplifier that feeds a passive (non-powered) subwoofer. Note that
the output at the SW1 and SW2 jacks is identical. Two are provided to make
it easier to install multiple subwoofers.
22 Digital audio outputs (see pages 15, 21)
Connect these to a CD recorder, MiniDisc recorder, a computer or any other
audio recording device that accepts digital inputs. Both optical and coaxial
outputs are provided.
23 Coaxial digital audio inputs (see pages 15, 21)
Use these inputs to connect digital audio devices such as DVD players, CD
players, and digital TV tuners. These inputs are assignable to any video
or audio source.
24 Phono input and ground connector (see page 15)
Use these to connect a record player equipped with a moving-magnet
(MM) cartridge.
25 Analog audio connections (see pages 14, 15, 20)
This group includes input connectors for analog audio devices, such as
cassette tape decks or older CD players. There are also two outputs for
feeding analog audio recorders.
26 Analog audio inputs (see pages 16, 20, 21)
Use these inputs to connect analog audio from video devices, such as a
VCR, a cable box or a laserdisc player.
27 Composite video inputs (see pages 16, 20, 21)
Use these inputs to connect older video devices, such as a VCR, a cable box
or a laserdisc player. If the device and your video display have S-Video or
component video connections, use those instead.
28 S-Video inputs (see pages 16, 20, 21)
Use these inputs to connect S-Video-equipped devices such as DVD players,
satellite receivers, and S-VHS VCRs.
29 MAIN POWER button (see page 23)
Connects and disconnects the Model 990 from AC power. When this switch
is on, the Standby/On indicator on the front panel illuminates. When it is
off, all power is cut and the front STANDBY/ON switch will not function.
30 Serial number
Write this number in the space provided on page 4 for future reference.
31 DVI inputs/output (see pages 20-21)
This digital video connection provides the best possible picture when you
are using a DVI- or HDMI-equipped video source and video display. (Inex-
pensive DVI-to-HDMI adapters are readily available.) Analog video sources
and on-screen menus do not appear on the DVI output.
