Connecting to a separate sound system
You can optionally connect Avalon to a separate stereo or surround sound system to enhance
your audio experience.
Connecting with Left and Right Audio
Connect an external stereo sound system using the left (white) and right (red) Audio Out
sockets. The left and right channels should be connected to the corresponding sockets on
your stereo sound system.
Connecting with Digital Audio Out - Coaxial or Optical
Connect an external digital surround sound system using either the S/PDIF Coaxial socket or
the Optical socket .
See “Setting audio options” on page 50 to set your audio preferences.
Connecting external HDMI input devices
Up to four external HDMI compatible devices can be connected to Avalon, such as a games
console or Blu-ray player.
Connecting these devices allows you to switch between them using the Avalon remote control
and menu system. This is particularly useful when your television does not offer HDMI sockets
for each device you wish to connect.
Connect your HDMI compatible device to one of Avalon’s available HDMI In sockets , using
an HDMI lead.
See “Selecting an external device to view” on page 39 for further information.
Connecting USB media devices
You can connect external USB storage devices, for example a USB memory stick or an
external USB hard disk, to your Avalon and play back media stored on them, such as images,
video or audio files.
There are two USB sockets, one on the front (behind a removable cover marked
) and one
on the back, USB . Both can be used to connect a device.
Note: The power supplied by the USB socket may not be sufficient to power a USB hard disk
that does not have a dedicated power supply.
See “Accessing external media” on page 40 for further information.
