Specifications

Connect the video outputs of your video components to appropriate video

inputs on the AVP. (See The Setup Menu for more information on program-

ming your input buttons for either composite or S-video use.)

Installation Note: S-video (Y/C) signals are more susceptible to degradation

over long wire runs. The quality of wire used makes a

significant difference, but regardless, it is generally

inadvisable to run S-video cables more than twenty feet (6

meters). Composite video signals tend to hold up better over

longer runs, especially when high quality 75

Ω

cable such as

Madrigal MDC-2 is used.

8 BALANCED MAIN OUTPUTS (L, C, R)

The pin assignments of these XLR-type male outputs conform to the inter-

national AES standard, and are as follows:

Pin 1: Signal ground

Pin 2: Signal + (non-inverting)

Pin 3: Signal – (inverting)

Connector ground lug: chassis ground

Refer to your power amplifier’s operating manual to verify that the pin as-

signments of its input connectors correspond to the Audio Video Preampli-

fier. If not, wire the cable so that the appropriate output pin connects to the

equivalent input pin, or reverse the leads of both your speaker cables to “re-

verse the reversal” and restore correct polarity.

High quality single-ended outputs are also provided for compatibility with

power amplifiers lacking balanced inputs.

Connect the left-front, center and right-front outputs of the Audio Video

Preamplifier to the corresponding inputs on your power amplifier(s).

9 SINGLE-ENDED MAIN OUTPUTS (ALL CHANNELS)

The first six of these eight RCA connectors provide the main 5.1 channels

normally associated with a high quality multichannel system: the left-front,

center and right-front outputs of the AVP are duplicated here in single-

ended form (for compatibility with power amplifiers lacking any balanced

input capabilities), along with the left-surround, right-surround and

subwoofer channels. Connect these outputs to the corresponding power

amplifier channels.
