Anthem AVM 20 v2 - Manual (Page 23)

Caution for DTS: With DTS-CDs or DTS Laser Discs, do not use analog connection if your player does
not have the DTS logo on its faceplate, otherwise a loud noise will be produced at the analog outputs of
the player. Players that have the DTS logo can pass a DTS-encoded signal through their digital outputs,
but may still require a setup change to enable it (see player’s operating manual).
4.2.3 2-Ch BALANCED AND 6-Ch SINGLE-ENDED (S/E) ANALOG AUDIO INPUTS
The 6-Ch S/E input is intended primarily for DVD-Audio and multichannel SACD players. If unused for this
purpose, the Front-Left and Front-Right connections can be used as a 2-channel input.
Note: When 6-Ch S/E is selected as the Source, the video signal from the DVD input will be routed to
the video outputs – connect your player’s video output to the DVD input (sections 4.3 and 7.4.5).
The 2-Ch BAL and 6-Ch S/E inputs can be set to either bypass all digital stages in the AVM 20 or to include
digital stages, so that bass management, time alignment, surround modes, bass/treble control, audio group
delay, and THX post-processing can be enabled (see sections 5.7, 5.8, 7.4.2, and 7.4.5).
4.2.4 ANALOG AUDIO OUTPUTS
Balanced XLR connection offers the highest transmission quality, particularly over long cable lengths,
because it rejects noise and hum pickup. On the AVM 20, XLR output voltage is twice that of RCA output
voltage (or 6 dB higher). If your amplifier does not have balanced inputs, use Single-Ended RCA connection.
The AVM 20 also provides parallel outputs for a second Center channel and/or Subwoofer. If the Balanced
SUB2 and CENTER2 outputs are not being used for this purpose, they can be re-configured to act as
Balanced outputs for ZONE2 to ensure lower noise with longer cable runs (see sections 5.2 and 7.4.7).
If you’re using a 6.1-channel speaker system, with one Rear speaker, Rear-L or Rear-R can be used as the
output connection (see section 7.4.2).
The Analog Audio RECORD outputs for your tape recorder and VCR are shown below, together with the
outputs for ZONE2 and ZONE3 amplifiers:
