1.3.1 INPUT CONNECTIONS
1.3.1.1 ANALOG AUDIO INPUTS
a) VID1 (Line level, single ended: RCA x 2)
b) VID2 (Line level, single ended: RCA x 2)
c) VID3 (Line level, single ended: RCA x 2)
e) VID4 (Line level, single ended: RCA x 2)
f) VID5 (Line level, single ended: RCA x 2)
g) VID6 (Line level, single ended: RCA x 2) (TAPE
MONITOR, FROM VCR OR OTHER A/V RECORDER)
h) AUDIO 1 (Line level, single ended: RCA x 2)
I) AUDIO 2 (Line level, single ended: RCA x 2)
j) AUDIO 3 (Line level, single ended: RCA x 2)
k) AUDIO 4 (Line level, single ended: RCA x 2)
l) AUDIO 5 (Line level, single ended: RCA x 2)
m) AUDIO 6 (Line level, balanced: XLR x 2)
(PIN 2 = HOT)
These analog audio inputs accept a line level
signal from any component equipped with the
appropriate output circuitry. Except for ‘m)
AUDIO 6,’ all analog audio inputs are single ended
circuits with RCA-style terminations. AUDIO 6, the
balanced input, requires three-pin XLR connectors
(Pin 2 = Hot),. The SSP-75 has no internal
provisions for MM or MC phono amplification/RIAA
equalization but accepts line level outputs from a
wide variety of external step-up devices if desired.
Please Note that g) VID6 is an analog TAPE
MONITOR input designed to be connected to the
analog OUTPUT of a VCR or other Audio/Video
recorder. This input would be used with the VID6
RECORD OUTPUT beside it. The VID6 RECORD
OUTPUT should be connected to the analog
audio INPUT of a VCR or other A/V recorder.
1.3.1.2 5.1 ANALOG AUDIO INPUTS
a) MAIN Left and Right (Line level, single ended:
RCA x 2)
b) SURROUND Left and Right (Line level, single
ended: RCA x 2)
c) CENTER (Line level, single ended: RCA x 1)
d) SUB (Line level, single ended: RCA x 1)
Some of the new DVD players have 5.1 analog
outputs which you may prefer to use. In addition,
these analog inputs allow you to use any new
audio format which requires 5.1 channel inputs.
1.3.1.3 DIGITAL AUDIO INPUTS
a) COAX1 (multi-format S/PDIF: RCA x 1)
b) COAX2 (multi-format S/PDIF: RCA x 1)
c) COAX3 (multi-format S/PDIF: RCA x 1)
d) COAX4 (multi-format S/PDIF: RCA x 1)
e) OPTICAL1 (multi-format S/PDIF: Toslink x 1)
f) OPTICAL2 (Multi-format S/PDIF: Toslink x 1)
g) AES/EBU (multi-format S/PDIF: XLR x 1)
b) AC3 (Multi-pin connector for external
demodulator - 1) TO PLAY AC3 ENCODED LASER
DISKS ONLY
The COAX1 through 4 digital audio inputs accept
standard S/PDIF digital signals via 75 ohm coaxial
cables with RCA-style connectors. The OPTICAL1
and 2 inputs use a Toslink-style optical connector
for digital source components with TOSlink digital
output. AES/EBU is designed to be used with the
Balanced style, 3 pin, high end digital outputs,
including our CD players and DACs. The AC3
connector is requires a separate outboard RF
demodulator, and is required only if you will be
playing Laser Discs with an AC3 audio format.
1.3.1.4 VIDEO INPUTS
a) VID1 (Composite: RCA x 1 and separate S-Video:
mini-DIN x 1)
b) VID2 (Composite: RCA x 1 and separate S-Video:
mini-DIN x 1)
c) VID3 (Composite: RCA x 1 and separate S-Video:
mini-DIN x 1)
d) VID4 (Composite: RCA x 1 and separate S-Video:
mini-DIN x 1)
e) VID5 (Composite: RCA x 1 and separate S-Video:
mini-DIN x 1)
f) VID6 (Composite: RCA x 1 and separate S-Video:
mini-DIN x 1)(TAPE MONITOR: from VCR or
other A/V)
g) INPUT1 (Component video: RCA x 3)
h) INPUT2 (Component video: RCA x 3)
These inputs accept video signals from various
video source components. Inputs a) through f)
accept a composite video signal and S-Video (Y/C)
signals, depending on the input used. Inputs g)
and h) accept only Component Video.
• Any S-Video input will appear at both the
S-Video outputs and at the Composite Video
outputs. Composite Video input will only appear
at the Composite Video outputs.
• Any Component Video input will only appear
properly at the Component Video output,
though a picture will appear in Black and White
at the S-Video outputs.
Please Note that f) VID6 is a video TAPE MONITOR
input designed to be connected to the composite
or S-Video OUTPUT of a VCR or other Audio/Video
recorder. This input would be used with the VID6
RECORD OUTPUT beside it. The VID6 RECORD
OUTPUT should be connected to the Composite
or S-Video INPUT of a VCR or other A/V recorder.
1.3.2 OUTPUT CONNECTIONS
