Connecting Your Model 1070

Before connecting your Model 1070 to other system components, please observe the following simple precautions:

nDon’t plug the power cord into your Model 1070 until you’ve made all other connections.

nAlways pay attention to the warnings, options, and specific procedures contained in the instructions that came with the component you’re connecting.

nFor analog connections, remember that:

red input jacks = right channel audio white input jacks = left channel audio yellow input jacks = composite video

nInsert all plugs and connectors securely. If you don’t, you may experience noise, poor performance, or equipment damage.

nDon’tbundleaudio/videoconnectioncableswithpowercordsandspeakercables. To get the performance you expect, run all the power cords down one side of the cabinet, all the signal connections down the other side, and the speaker cables down the center.

nYou may want to use digital and analog connections to and from the same component. This will give you additional flexibility as you configure your system, particularly when you use an analog audio recorder.

nWhen using an optical input or output jack, always use a high-quality optical fiber cable.

nConnect your speakers after you’ve connected all your other components to the Model 1070 but before you plug in the power cord.

Given the wide variety of components and many ways you can connect them, you might find initial set-up a bit intimidating. Don’t worry. The following diagrams will guide you through the maze. They graph some of the more com- mon situations you might encounter. Rest assured, however, that there would most likely be several ways to connect a component so these diagrams are not hard and fast blueprints. (Please remember to consult the owner's manual that came with the component you are connecting for more information.)

In order to alleviate potential confusion, there is a chart on page 25 so you can record each connection (which output to which input, etc.) as you connect your system’s components. These connections might change as you get further into your system configuration and we suggest that you make a few photocopies of that page (or print a few copies of the page from the PDF version of this manual, which is available from our website) to use as worksheets before you start. When you’re done and your system is functioning properly, you can enter the final connections into the manual itself for a more permanent record.

Connecting Audio Components

CD Player or Music Server

Analog Connect the L and R channel outputs on the CD player or music server to the CD input jacks (RP17).

Digital If your CD player or music server has a digital output, connect it to one of the coaxial or optical inputs (RP9) depending on the type of connector used by the source. (You’ll configure the Model 1070 later to use the input you’ve chosen. For now, note that digital input on your system chart.)

Owner’s Manual

Connecting Your Model 1070

Audio Recorder

(Cassette deck, MD recorder, DAT, CD recorder, etc.)

Analog Connect the L and R audio outputs on the recorder (usually marked PLAY) to the TAPE IN jacks (RP17). Connect the L and R audio inputs (usually marked REC) to the RECORD OUT/TAPE jacks (RP17).

Digital Connect your recorder’s digital output jack to either the coaxial or optical input (RP12) depending on the type of connector used by your recorder. (As with the digital CD input, configuration will come later. For now, just note that input on your system chart.)

If your recorder has a digital input jack, connect it to either the coaxial or opti- cal output (RP14) depending on the type of connector used by your recorder. (Configure this later, but note the connection now.)

Computer sources

Note: Although you can connect a computer via analog or digital inputs, we suggest a PCM, Dolby Digital or DTS connection when pos- sible for the best sound. You can also use your computer to record sound from the other devices connected to the Model 1070.

Analog Using a 1/8” (3.5mm) stereo miniplug to dual-RCA adapter cable (a “Y” cable with male connectors at both ends), connect the computer sound card’s audio output minijack to the TAPE IN jacks (RP17). Then, using a sec- ond “Y” cable, connect the sound card’s audio input minijack to the RECORD OUT/TAPE jacks (RP17).

Note: If you have to make a choice between connecting another recording device or your computer through analog connections, opt to use the analog jacks for the other recording device.

Digital Connect your sound card’s digital output jack to either the coaxial or optical input (RP12) depending on the type of connector used by the sound card. (As with the digital CD input, configuration will come later. For now, just note that input on your system chart.)

If your sound card has a digital input jack, connect it to either the coaxial or optical output (RP14) depending on the type of connector used by the sound card. (You’ll configure this later but note the connection now.) Note, however, that the signal must be output from the computer in a form that is compat- ible with the Model 1070’s signal processing, such as Dolby Digital, DTS or conventional PCM. Other digital audio formats such as MP 3 may not be used directly with the Model 1070.

MP3 Player

Analog You can use any analog audio input to connect an MP3 player to the Model 1070 but you’ll probably find it most convenient to use the Left and Right channel analog audio jacks on the front panel Video 4 input (FP20). Use the same 1/8” (3.5mm) stereo miniplug to dual-RCA adapter cable (a “Y” cable with male connectors at both ends) that we’ve suggested above to go from the MP3 player’s headphone output to the Model 1070. Remember the color-coding on the RCA end of the cable – red for right, white for left.
