M80 REAR PANEL FEATURES
15. MONITOR OUT - (1 RCA Jack, 1 S-Video Jack) Connect to the Composite or S-Video Input on a Video Display that does not
feature Component Video or HDMI Inputs or as alternate connections for additional Main Room Video Display options.
Note: These connections are not required on a Video Display with either Component Video and/or HDMI Inputs. All M80
Source video input content is up-converted and down-converted to all video formats with the exception of HDMI input con-
tent which is only available as HDMI output. See section Video Display Connections for additional information.
16. HDMI IN/OUT - (5 HDMI v1.3a Repeater Type Terminals) Connect to the HDMI outputs or input on appropriately featured digi-
tal audio/video devices. HDMI v1.3a provides transmission of various compressed and uncompressed digital audio and digital
video formats along with device control data over a single cable for highest quality audio and video performance with the
ease of the connection of a single cable. All composite, S and Component Video input content is up-converted to HDMI. HDMI
input content is only available as HDMI output.
Note: It may be desirable to change the HDMI Control Settings (Auto ON/OFF, etc) for some devices to suit user preference.
These settings are typically found in these devices’ Setup Menus.
HDMI IN - Connect to the HDMI OUT Terminals on appropriately featured digital audio/video devices. The HDMI inputs must
be congured in the On-Screen Display (OSD) Source Setup. They can be associated with Sources 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7 (Multi Input)
and Source 8 (Front Panel Inputs). Source 4 is dedicated to iPod and is not congurable for HDMI.
HDMI MONITOR OUT - Connect to the HDMI IN on a Video Display or Projector. All video sources (Composite, S, Component)
connected to the M80 will be up-converted to HDMI. If using a video display with HDMI Inputs, a single HDMI connection
between the M80 and Video Display is the only required video monitor connection.
17. COMPONENT VIDEO - (12 RCA Jacks) Connect to the component video (Y/Pb/Pr) outputs and inputs on appropriately fea-
tured audio/video devices. The component input connections should be used for sources that do not have HDMI outputs. The
Component Video Monitor Out should be used if the Video Display features component connections and does not have HDMI
connections. All composite and S-Video input is up-converted for output on the Component Video Monitor OUT.
IN - Connect to the Component Video OUT Jacks on appropriately featured audio/video devices. The component video inputs
must be congured in the On-Screen Display (OSD) Source Setup. They can be associated with Sources 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7 (Multi
Input) and Source 8 (Front Panel Inputs). Source 4 is dedicated to iPod and is not congurable for Component Video.
OUT - Connect to the Component Video IN on a Video Display or Projector. All Composite and S-Video sources connected
to the M80 will be up-converted to Component Video. It is not necessary to connect the M80 Component Video OUT to the
Video Display if using the M80 HDMI Monitor OUT.
18. MULTI INPUT - Connect to the multichannel analog audio outputs of devices such as Blu-ray Disc, HD-DVD, DVD-Audio, SA-
CD Players, etc for playback of discrete analog audio channels. These connections are required for DVD-Audio devices that are
HDMI v1.0 or SA-CD devices up to HDMI v1.1 for multichannel audio. For a device that features an on-board digital processor
with HDMI, (DVD-Audio v1.1 or better or SA-CD v1.2 or better) Digital Optical or Coaxial outputs, only the digital connection
(HDMI, optical, coaxial) is required.
Note: The Digital Optical and Digital Coaxial connections do not output multichannel audio for DVD-Audio or SA-CD Players.
Typically a 2-channel audio downmix is output over these connections for those devices.
19. PRE-OUT - Connect to an external amplier(s) to increase Main Room audio power. The SW jack is a discrete subwoofer chan-
nel, (the so called ‘.1’ channel in 5.1, 6.1 and 7.1 surround systems) that gets connected to a LFE or line level audio input on
a powered subwoofer. The SW jack can be used for the ‘.1’ sub channel with speakers connected to either the M80 speaker
terminals or an external amplier.
Note: Some audio encoding provides a discrete LFE (Low Frequency Eects) Channel that is engineered as part of a surround
audio mix. Some Listening Modes will ‘manufacture’ a subwoofer channel by separating low frequency content from the audio
program. The M80 accommodates both conditions and outputs LFE or subwoofer information via the Pre-Out SW (subwoofer)
jack, based upon the currently selected audio content and Listening Mode.
20. FM(75Ω) - (1 female ‘F’ type terminal) Connect to the included FM antenna.
21. GND/AM - (2 spring clips) Connect to the included AM Loop antenna.
