Video Recorder
A video recording device such as a VCR, PVR (such as a TiVo
¨
, Replay
¨
, Ulti-
mateTV
¨
, DishPlayer
¨
or similar device) or DVD recorder can be connected
to the P-2000 using the following methods.
Composite Connect the composite video output from the recording device
to the VCR IN composite video jack on the rear of the preamp/processor. Con-
nect the recording device’s composite video input to the VCR OUT composite
video jack of the P-2000 using an RCA-type video cable.
S-Video If there is an S-Video output on the recording device, connect it to
the S-Video VCR IN input on the rear of the preamp/processor and connect
the S-Video input to the S-Video VCR OUT using an S-Video cable. S-Video
delivers a better picture than composite connections and should be used
whenever possible unless you can use component connections, which deliver
even better video than S-Video.
Component If the recording device has component video outputs, connect
them to one of the component video input jacks (DVD or VIDEO 1) on the
rear of the preamp/processor using an appropriate video cable set.
Analog Audio Connect the L and R audio outputs on the recorder to the
VCR IN audio jacks on the rear of the preamp/processor and connect the L
and R inputs of the recorder to the VCR OUT audio jacks on the P-2000.
Digital Audio If your recording device also has a digital audio output jack,
connect it to one of the coaxial (COAX 1 or 2) or optical (OPT 1-4) input jacks
on the rear of the preamp/processor, depending on the type of connector
used by the device. Later, you will congure the P-2000 to use the specic
input that you have connected it to. For now, note which digital input you
connected to on your system chart.
If your recording device also has a digital input jack, connect it to either the
coaxial or optical output jack on the rear of the preamp/processor, depending
on the type of connector used by the device. The signal from the selected
input source of the P-2000 will be sent to the recorder.
Video Display
A video display device such as a television monitor, xed-pixel device
(plasma or LCD) or video projector can be connected to the P-2000 using
the following methods.
Composite Connect the composite video input of the display to the com-
posite video OUT jack on the rear of the P-2000, using an RCA-type video
cable.
S-Video If there is an S-Video input on the display, connect it to the S-Video
OUT jack on the rear of the preamp/processor using an S-Video cable. S-
Video delivers a better picture than composite connections and should be
used whenever possible unless you can use component connections, which
deliver even better video than S-Video.
Component If the display has component video inputs, connect them to
the component video MONITOR OUT jacks on the rear of the P-2000 using
an appropriate video cable set.
NOTE: The P-2000 converts composite video to S-Video and vice versa,
you need only make one of those two types of connections between
the P-2000 and your video display. Due to technical restrictions there
may be some degradation of the signal when it is converted from
composite to S-video. Be sure to check this function with your equip-
ment before you decide to use this capability. When component video
connections are used it is still necessary to make either the composite
or S-Video connections so that you are able to view the on-screen
menus and displays which do not appear on the component outputs.
The P-2000 does not convert from either composite or S-Video to
component or vice versa.
Satellite Tuner or Television
Composite Connect the composite video output from the satellite tuner
or television to one of the video input jacks (VIDEO 1, 2 or 3) on the rear of
the P-2000 using an RCA-type video cable.
S-Video If there is an S-Video output on the satellite tuner or television,
connect it to one of the S-Video inputs (VIDEO 1, 2 or 3) on the rear of the
P-2000 using an S-Video cable. S-Video delivers a better picture than com-
posite connections and should be used whenever possible unless you can use
component connections, which deliver even better video than S-Video.
Component If the satellite tuner or television has component video outputs,
connect them to one of the component video input jacks (DVD or VIDEO 1)
on the rear of the P-2000 using an appropriate video cable set.
Analog Audio Connect the L and R channel outputs on the satellite tuner
or television to the set of audio input jacks (VIDEO 1, 2 or 3) directly under
the video jack you used on the rear of the P-2000.
Digital Audio If your satellite tuner or television has a digital output jack,
connect it to one of the coaxial (COAX 1 or 2) or optical (OPT 1-4) input jacks
on the rear of the preamp/processor, depending on the type of connector
used by the device. Later, you will congure the P-2000 to use the specic
input that you have chosen. For now, note which digital input you connected
to on your system chart.
FM Antenna
Connect the supplied FM antenna to the terminal labeled FM75Ω. Do not
over tighten as this may damage the connection.
The supplied FM antenna is for indoor use only. For best signal reception
you must fully extend the antenna. Experiment with the antenna’s position to
obtain the strongest signal. You can attach it to a wall or other surface using
push pins or similar apparatus.
If FM reception is poor with the supplied indoor antenna, the use of an
amplied indoor or an outdoor antenna is recommended.
NOTE: You can only connect a 75Ω type FM antenna to the P-2000.
If you choose to use an antenna other than the one supplied, be sure
to verify that it has the correct type of connector or that you obtain an
appropriate adapter.
Try to avoid using the same antenna for both FM and TV reception
since the signals can interfere with each other. If you must use a com-
mon FM/TV antenna, be sure that you install a signal splitter to sepa-
rate the feed between the TV and the P-2000’s tuner.
