Owner’s Manual

Connecting Your Model 1070

Component If your device has component video outputs, connect them to the component Video 1-2 input jacks (RP1). As you make this connection, remember to “follow the alphabet.” (See DVD player above if you don’t remem- ber what this means.)

DVI/HDMI If your device a DVI or HDMI video output and your video monitor has a DVI or HDMI input, connect the device to the DVI 1 or 2 input (RP23). (For HDMI-equipped components, use either an interconnect cable with one type of connector on each end [preferred] or an HDMI-to-DVI adapter.)

Audio Connections

Analog Using a pair of RCA-to-RCA audio cables, connect your device’s L and R channel analog audio outputs to the Video 1-3 analog audio jacks (RP18 or RP19).

Digital Connect your device’s digital audio output (coaxial or optical) to one of the digital inputs (RP12). Note the selected input on your worksheet for configuration later.

Note: Particularly with digital cable set top boxes, we recommend that you make both an analog and digital audio connections. This will enable the Model 1070 to revert to analog audio when you switch away from a digital channel to one that only has analog audio. (See page 19)

Video Display Connections

Connect a video display device (a TV, projector, etc.) to the Model 1070 using the following methods.

Video Connections

Composite Using a video cable with yellow RCA jacks at both ends, connect the display device’s composite video input to the Model 1070’s composite Moni- tor Out jack (RP20).

S-VideoUsing an S-video cable, connect the display device’s S-video input to the S-Video Monitor Out jack (RP20).

Component If your display device has component video inputs, connect them to the component Monitor Out jacks (RP4). Once again, “follow the alphabet.”

DVI/HDMI If your display device has a DVI or HDMI video input, connect it to the DVI Out connection (RP24). (For HDMI-equipped components, use an HDMI-to-DVI adapter.)

Note: The Model 1070's on-screen display does not appear at the DVI OUT jack. Use a component, S-Video, or composite video connec- tion to your video display device in addition to the DVI connection.

Audio Connections

Analog If your display device has an internal tuner with an analog audio output, connect the L and R channel outputs to the Video 1-3 analog audio inputs (RP18 or RP19).

Digital If your display device has a digital audio output, connect it to one of the coaxial or optical input jacks (RP12). Note the selected input on your worksheet for configuration later.

Antenna Connections

The Model 1070 has an internal AM/FM tuner with separate connections for each band’s antenna.

FM Antenna

Connect the supplied FM dipole antenna by pushing the antenna’s coaxial connector onto the FM antenna connector (RP2.)

Note: The supplied FM antenna is for indoor use only. For best reception, fully extend the antenna and experiment with its position- ing to get the strongest signal. You can attach it to a wall or other surface using push-pins, tacks, or small nails.

If FM reception is poor with the supplied indoor antenna, we recommend using an amplified indoor or a high-gain outdoor antenna. Connect these antennas in the same way.

AM Antenna

Connect the supplied AM antenna to the rear panel push terminals (RP3). Press one lever on the bottom of the terminal block and insert one of the antenna wires. Release the lever and repeat the process with the other wire and lever. Experiment with the antenna's position to obtain the strongest signal.

Loudspeaker Connections

The connections between your Model 1070 and your system’s main channel loudspeakers are critical to good sound. Although there’s a lot of debate about the “best” speaker wire and the “best” connectors, our advice is to use what you feel is appropriate. There is one guideline, however, that we do feel is vital: If the run from your Model 1070 to a speaker is less than 40 feet, use speaker wire with a conductor diameter that’s identified as “16 gauge” or lower. For longer runs, use a minimum of 14 gauge wiring. When connecting speaker wire to each side of a speaker “pair” (e.g. front left/right, surround left/right or surround back left/right) we recommend that the speaker wire lengths be as close to identical as possible.

If you’re confused by the “gauge,” you’re not alone. The standard in wire measurements is called AWG, or American Wire Gauge. The AWG number refers to the diameter of one conductor only (speaker wire has two conduc- tors) and smaller gauge numbers mean larger conductors. Here’s a short list of gauge numbers and their corresponding diameters:

12 gauge

.0808"

14 gauge

.0641"

16 gauge

.0508"

18 gauge

.0402"

22 gauge

.0254"

24 gauge

.0201"

You can see that “hardware store” 22 or 24 gauge wire is very thin. We don’t recommend it for any serious audio application. Even 18 gauge “zip cord” (also called “lamp cord”) is not that substantial. 16 gauge is our minimum recommendation. 14 gauge is better. 12 gauge is excellent but is comparatively hard to work with (it usually doesn’t bend easily and terminations – lugs or banana plugs – are problematic.) The advantage of large diameter wire is that, all else being equal, it has less resistance to current flow than thin wire.
