Specifications

operating manuals of your digital sources to verify that the pin assignments

of their output connectors correspond to the Audio Video Preamplifier. If

not, wire the cables so that the appropriate output pin connects to the

equivalent input pin.

4 S/PDIF (ON RCA) DIGITAL INPUTS 2-5

Digital Inputs 2-5 accept digital audio conforming to the 75Ω S/PDIF digital

interface standard (via 75Ω cables equipped with RCA-type connectors)

from a digital satellite receiver, compact disc, laserdisc, DVD or other digital

source component. Connect the 75Ω S/PDIF output of your source compo-

nent to either of this input of the AVP, using a high quality 75Ω cable such

as Madrigal MDC-2.

If you have the optional internal RF demodulator installed in your Audio

Video Preamplifier, Digital Input 3 is dedicated to that RF connection and

can only be used for that purpose. Connect the RF (Dolby Digital/AC-3)

output from your laserdisc player to Digital Input 3 if you have the internal

RF demodulator installed.

5 S/PDIF (ON BNC) DIGITAL INPUT 6

Digital Input 6 accepts digital audio conforming to the 75Ω S/PDIF digital in-

terface standard (via 75Ω cables equipped with BNC-type connectors) from

a digital satellite receiver, compact disc, laserdisc, DVD or other digital

source component. Connect the 75Ω S/PDIF output of your source compo-

nent to either of these inputs of the Audio Video Preamplifier, using a high

quality 75Ω cable such as Madrigal MDC-2.

6 EIAJ OPTICAL DIGITAL INPUT 7

Digital Input 7 accepts digital audio in the EIAJ optical (sometimes called

“Toslink”) digital interface standard from a digital satellite receiver, compact

disc, laserdisc, DVD or other digital source component. Connect the eiaj

digital output of your source component to the EIAJ input of the Audio

Video Preamplifier using a high quality EIAJ optical cable.

7 VIDEO INPUTS

Two different video configurations exist for the AVP: composite video only

and both S-video and composite video. The composite-only version in-

cludes six composite inputs, while the S-video version includes four com-

posite and four S-video inputs for a total of eight. Any combination of the

available inputs may be used, and for your convenience, conversion from S-

video to composite is provided on both the main and the record/remote

paths. Thus S-video sources may be viewed via either the S-video or the

composite outputs; composite sources are only available on the composite

output.

Composite video inputs use RCA connectors. S-video inputs utilize “S” con-

nectors:
