ANTENNAS
AM
Assemble the two AM loop antennas supplied with the unit so that
the tabs at the bottoms of the antenna loops snap into the holes
in the bases. Connect to the Tuner 1 and Tuner 2
AM and GND
Spring Terminals
.
FM
Connect the two supplied FM antennas to the Tuner 1 and Tuner
2 FM (75-Ohm) Terminals
. The FM antenna may be an
external roof antenna, an inside powered or wire-lead antenna or
a connection from a cable TV system. If the antenna or connection
uses 300-ohm twin-lead cable, you must use an optional 300-ohm-
to-75-ohm adapter to make the connection.
MONITOR OUTPUTS
(MAIN ROOM VIDEO DISPLAY)
Composite/S-Video
When connecting the AVR21EN to a standard, analog video
display that only has standard composite and S-video inputs, the
component video inputs on the AVR21EN may not be used.
Connect the
Composite and/or S-Video Monitor Outputs to the
matching composite and S-video inputs on your video display, depend-
ing on which types of video are output by your source devices.
Component Video
If the AVR component video inputs are used, connect the Monitor
Component Video Outputs
to the component video inputs of
your TV, projector or other display device.
NOTE: When connecting the AVR21EN to a “digital-ready,” “HDTV-
compatible” or high-definition display (which is any device capable
of accepting an input signal of 480P or higher), you are able to
take advantage of the unit’s advanced video processing circuitry
which converts all video signals to a 1080i output. Since the
AVR21EN displays the on-screen menus with upconverted video,
the connection from the AVR21EN to the display need only be one
set of Y/Pr/Pb component video cables to the
Monitor Component
Video Output
.
HDMI
Connect the HDMI Output to an HDMI input on the Main Room
Video Display.
NOTE: The AVR21EN configuration for using the HDMI Output
will disable the monitor component video outputs. See VIDEO
MONITOR SETTINGS for more information.
1. Connect the composite video output of an A/V device to the
AUX C-VID In Jack on the AVR rear panel.
2. Connect the S-Video output of an A/V device to the
AUX S-VID
In Jack
on the AVR rear panel.
3. Connect the component (Y/Pb/Pr) outputs of an A/V device to
the
AUX Component Video Jacks on the AVR rear panel.
Video Out – AUX
1. Connect the AUX C-VID Out Jack on the AVR rear panel to
the composite video in (record) jack on an A/V device.
2. Connect the
VR S-VID Out Jack on the AVR rear panel to
the S-video in (record) jack on an A/V device.
SPF (Power Management – Optional) – AUX
NOTE: An SPF (Source Power Flag) should be used on any device
that does not have discrete IR On/Off codes. Either composite video
or coaxial digital audio can be sensed. All SPF modules can be
daisy-chained together for power from a single SPF/PS power sup-
ply and must be powered to work. See the
SPF Features section.
Composite Video
1. Connect the composite video output of an A/V device to one of
the
Signal Input Jacks on a SPF.
2. Connect the unused
Signal Output Jack on the SPF to the
AUX C-VID In Jack on the AVR rear panel.
3. Connect the 3.5mm
Mini Plug Pigtail to the AUX SPF In
on the AVR rear panel.
4. If using one SPF, connect the
Power Input to an Audioaccess
SPF/PS power supply. If using multiple SPFs, connect the
Power
Input
to the Power Pass-Through on the previous SPF
using the included 2.1mm jumper wire.
Game/CAM
1. If you have a camcorder, video game or other audio/video device
that is connected to the AVR on a temporary, rather than
permanent, basis, connect the audio, video and digital audio
outputs of that device to the front-panel inputs. The
Game/Cam
line-level Audio M
and Game/Cam Composite and S-Video
Inputs JL
can be configured for In/Out in the MAIN MENU/
SOURCES setup. The default is In (green LED
Game/Cam
Input/Output Status Indicator K
; red LED indicates the jacks
have been configured as outputs).
2. The default digital input for Game/Cam is
Optical 3 In C. The
digital coaxial input,
Coaxial 3 F can be configured for In/Out
in the MAIN MENU/SOURCES setup. The default is In (green
LED
Digital Input 3 Coaxial Input/Output Status Indicator G;
red LED indicates the jack has been configured as an output).
See the
Main Room Operation/Front Panel Connections
section for more information on input configuration. A device
connected here is selected as the Game/Cam input on the
remote control.
8-Channel DVD Audio
If an external multichannel audio source with 5.1 outputs such as an
external digital processor/ decoder, DVD-Audio or SACD player is
used, connect the outputs of that device to the
8-Channel DVD Audio
Inputs
. Depending on the source device in use, all eight jacks may
be used, though in many cases only connections to the front left/right,
center, surround left/right and LFE (subwoofer input) jacks will be
used for standard 5.1 audio signals. Connect as appropriate.
