Ayre Acoustics K-5x - Manual (Page 11)

Processor Pass-Through
When using the Ayre K-5x in a surround-sound
system for home theater, it is desirable to use the
“Processor Pass-Through” mode. This mode allows
your two-channel music sources to be routed
directly through the K-5x, avoiding the sonic
degradation of most processors, and at the same time
allows the front two channels of the theater system
to integrate with the K-5x with the touch of a
single button.
If you are using a surround-sound processor, connect
the front left and right outputs of the processor to
one of the inputs on the K-5x. Please note that the
K-5x can accept either balanced or unbalanced
signals.
To activate the “Processor Pass-Through” mode for
that input, remove the AC power from the K-5x for
at least 10 seconds. Then, while pressing the input
selector button corresponding to the chosen
surround-sound processor input, re-connect the AC
power.
