The C2500 can be part of a Multichannel Sound Sys-
tem for SACD, DVD-Audio and Home Theater. The
Right and Left Front Channels from an Audio/Video
Control Center or Surround Decoder can “Passthru”
the C2500 and onto its associated Power Amplifier(s).
The Setup Mode allows the activation of the Passthru
Mode and the selection of the specified C2500 Input
Connector to be used for the Right and Left Front
Channels. In the example below, the Right and Left
Front Channels from the Audio/Video Control Center
will be connected to the BALanced 2 Input Connec-
tors on the C2500. Refer to page 4 for additional con-
nection information.

Connectors are not assignable as a Passthru
Input.

already reassigned to a given Input, they will
not appear in the list of available Inputs for the
Passthru Mode.
