Optical Digital Audio Output: Connect this jack to the optical
digital input connector on a CD R/RW, MiniDisc or other compatible
digital recorder.
Coaxial Digital Audio Output: Connect this jack to the coaxial
digital input of a CD-R/RW, MiniDisc or other compatible digital
recorder.
Remote IR Output: This connection permits the IR sensor in
the receiver to serve other remote-controlled devices. Connect this
jack to the “IR IN” jack on appropriately compatible IR-controlled
equipment.
Remote IR Input: If the AVR21EN’s front-panel IR sensor is
blocked due to cabinet doors or other obstructions, an external IR
sensor may be used. Connect the output of the sensor to this jack.
RS-232 Port: This jack is currently used for factory testing and
software updates only.
Multiroom Link: These two RJ45 jacks may be used to add
up to 20 additional rooms of audio/video signal distribution and
system control when connected to Audioaccess W.H.E.N. AVH21
audio/video hubs. They may also be used to add two additional
rooms of audio distribution when each is connected directly to
an Audioaccess W.H.E.N. KP21 Keypad. See the
Main Room
Installation & Setup/Multiroom Link
and AVH21 Connections/
Uplink/Multiroom Link
sections for additional information.
Switched AC Outlet: This outlet may be used to power AC
devices that you wish to have turn on and off when the AVR is
turned on or off. The total power consumption of all devices
connected to the switched outlet may not exceed 100 watts.
Unswitched AC Outlet: This outlet may be used to power
any AC device as long as its power consumption does not exceed
100 watts. The power will remain available at this outlet as long
as the AVR21EN is plugged into an AC power source, regardless
of whether the AVR itself is on or off.
AC Power Cord Jack: Connect the AC power cord to this jack
when the installation is complete. To ensure safe operation, use
only the power cord supplied with the unit. If a replacement is
required, it must be of the same type and capacity.
Source Control 2-Way Interface Terminals: Connect these
terminals to the RS-232 terminals on Sony ES DVD changers
connected to the corresponding audio/video inputs. EXAMPLE:
Connect the Disc 1 interface terminal to the DVD changer connected
to the Disc 1 inputs. This connection will provide information
regarding disc, track and chapter on the
KP21 Keypad Information
Display
. NOTE: This connection does not provide a control
interface. An IR emitter should also be connected to the AVR and
attached to the changer to ensure full control capabilities. These
inputs are also used for connection to XM/Sirius Satellite Radio
Tuners and Audioaccess aDock for iPod. Please see detailed instruc-
tions in the hardware connection section of this manual for setails
Common IR Control Output: Connect this output to an IR
emitter or direct-control device that is to be controlled via IR from
all rooms or when any source is selected on a remote or keypad.
Source IR Control Outputs: Connect these outputs to IR
emitters and attach the emitters over the IR eyes of the source
components to be controlled by the AVR via infrared. These are
dedicated (routed) IR outputs allowing selective control of multiple
same-brand same-model devices, such as multiple DVD players,
satellite receivers, etc. The jacks are labeled to correspond with
the AVR21EN Source Inputs.
Video Source Outputs: Connect these composite video outputs
to the appropriate video inputs on the primary AVH21 audio/video
hub for distribution of common-source composite video signals
when expanding the AVR21EN in a multiroom application.
12V Trigger Output: Connect this output to a 12V triggered
device such as a screen, lift or lighting system that is to be controlled
with a constant 12V signal. See the
Home Theater Master Control/
Voltage Trigger
section.
Source SPF (Source Power Flag) Inputs: Connect the 12V
Control Out of an Audioaccess SPF-1 or other sensing device to pro-
vide source power ON/OFF status to the AVR21EN. These inputs
must be configured in
Remote Control Setup/On Off Comm.
Monitor Video Outputs:
When using an analog video display
that has only standard composite and S-video inputs, connect
these jacks (depending on which types of video are output by your
source devices) to the matching inputs on your television or video
display. When using a “digital ready” or HDTV display that is
compatible with 420p or higher inputs, you do not need to make
these connections, as all incoming video will be up-scaled to 1080i
and sent through the
Monitor Component Video or HDMI
Jacks
with the OSD messages.
Main Room KP A/V Audio Input: Connect this jack to the
line-level audio output of the KP21 designated as the Main Room
keypad to hear the paging audio through the AVR21.
Main Room KP A/V Composite Video Input: Connect this
jack to the appropriate video output from the AVH21 for the Main
Room keypad.
Tuner 1 FM Antenna Jack: Connect the supplied indoor or an
optional external FM antenna to this terminal.
Tuner 1 AM Antenna Terminals: Connect the AM loop antenna
supplied with the receiver to these terminals. If an external AM
antenna is used, make connections to the AM and GND terminals
in accordance with the instructions supplied with the antenna.
Tuner 2 FM Antenna Jack: Connect the supplied indoor or an
optional external FM antenna to this terminal.
Tuner 2 AM Antenna Terminals: Connect the AM loop anten-
na supplied with the receiver to these terminals. If an external AM
antenna is used, make connections to the AM and GND terminals
in accordance with the instructions supplied with the instructions
supplied with the antenna.
