Installation and Connections
External Audio Decoder Connection
To provide for ultimate flexibility, the AVR 7000
may be used in conjunction with optional, exter-
nal decoders for digital audio systems other than
the AVR 7000’s own built-in Dolby Digital and
DTS decoding system or with DVD players hav-
ing those decoders integrated. If an external
decoder is used, connect the output jacks of the
decoder to the 6-Channel Direct inputs
£
,
making sure to match channels.
These jacks may also be used for connections to
devices such as DVD players or High Definition
Television (HDTV) sets or decoders that feature
built-in digital surround decoders. Although the
digital decoding system in the AVR 7000 will typi-
cally provide audio performance that is superior to
other decoders, you may use these jacks to provide
an additional 6-channel input for connection to a
DVD player or HDTV set with a built-in decoder
and discrete 6-channel analog outputs.
AC Power Connections
This unit is equipped with two accessory AC out-
lets. They may be used to power accessory
devices, but they should not be used with high-
current draw equipment such as power ampli-
fiers. The total power draw to each outlet may
not exceed 100 watts.
The Switched
‹
outlets will receive power
only when the unit is on completely. This is rec-
ommended for devices that have no power
switch or a mechanical power switch that may
be left in the “ON” position.
NOTE: Many audio and video products go into a
Standby mode when they are used with
switched outlets, and cannot be fully turned on
using the outlet alone without a remote control
command.
The Unswitched
¤
outlet will receive power
as long as the unit is plugged into a powered AC
outlet and the Main Power Switch
1
is on.
Finally, when all connections are complete, plug
the power cord into a nonswitched 220-240-volt
AC wall outlet. You’re almost ready to enjoy the
AVR 7000!
