PT-7030: User Manual
4. 7.1 Unbalanced (audio) Inputs (1 set)
Provides one set of unbalanced 7.1 channel surround audio inputs. Normally, the signals received
at these inputs bypass all digital processing and are passed directly to the volume control and
the preamp outputs. Typically, the analog surround sound outputs of an SACD player or external
decoder are connected to these inputs.
An optional bass management feature sums the 7 main channel inputs (while still passing them
unaltered to the outputs), and connects the summed input signal through a 100 Hz low-pass lter to
the subwoofer output. This is useful if the 7 main input channels don’t include a subwoofer or LFE
(low frequency effects) channel.
HDMI Audio (output)
By default, audio is passed directly from source components to the TV via HDMI, and decoded
audio is delivered at the PT-7030’s audio outputs. You may also choose to have audio decoded by
the PT-7030, and then have the decoded audio sent to the TV via the HDMI connection, by selecting
TV Mode in the Video Menu.
Note: When TV Mode is enabled, the PT-7030 itself will no longer source audio from its other
audio outputs.
