Component If your DVD player has component video outputs, connect them to the component DVD IN jacks (RP1). Because component video connections require three video-grade cables, remember to follow the alphabet (“Y” to “Y,” “PB” to “PB,” and “PR” to “PR”) when making these connections.

DVI/HDMI If your DVD player has a DVI or HDMI video output and your video monitor has a DVI or HDMI input, connect the DVD player to the Model 970’s DVI 1 or 2 input (RP21). (For HDMI-equipped DVD players, use an HDMI-to-DVI adapter, or dual-purpose cable such as those available from Outlaw Audio.)

Audio Connections

Analog Using a pair of RCA-to-RCA audio cables, connect your DVD player’s L and R channel analog audio outputs to the DVD analog audio jacks (RP5).

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

Multi-Channel Audio If your DVD player has a multi-channel audio output for DVD-Audio or SACD playback, connect the six outputs from your player to the multi-channel AUDIO IN jack set (RP5). Use the L, R, CEN, SUB, SL, and SR jacks only – ignore the jacks labeled SBL and SBR. (These will accommodate future 7.1-channel formats if they appear.) Be careful to maintain continuity: Connect L to L, center to CEN, and so on. If your DVD player includes a built-in Dolby Digital decoder with 5.1-channel analog audio outputs but no DVD-A or SACD capability, do not use the player’s 5.1 channel analog outputs. Instead, use a digital connection as described above. Your ears will applaud your choice.

NOTE: You must use the multi-channel audio input for SACD and DVD-Audio players in order to hear the high-resolution digital sound these players provide.

Video Recorder

You can connect a video recording device (VCR, PVR, DVD recorder, etc.) by using the following methods.

Video Connections

Composite Connect your video recorder’s composite video output to the VIDEO 1 IN composite video input jack (RP16). Then connect the recorder’s composite video input to the VIDEO 1 REC OUT composite video jack (RP16). Use the same type of cable specified in the DVD Player section immediately above.

S-VideoUsing a S-video cable with a small 4-pin mini-DIN connector at each end, connect the DVD player’s S-video output to the S-video Video 1 input (RP16). Then connect the recorder’s S-video input to the S-video Video 1 output (RP16).

Audio Connections

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

If your recording device has a digital input, connect it to either the coaxial or optical (RP14) output jack. The signal from a selected digital source will be sent to the recorder.

Connecting Your Model 970

Digital TV Tuner/Cable Box/Satellite Receiver

Video Connections

Composite Using a video cable with yellow RCA jacks at both ends, connect the device’s composite video output to your choice of the Video 1-3 composite video inputs. (RP16 or RP17).

S-VideoUsing an S-video cable, connect the device’s S-video output to your choice of the Video 1-3 S-video inputs. (RP16 or RP17).

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 remember 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 (RP21). (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 (RP16 or RP17).

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 970 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 970 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 970’s composite Monitor Out jack (RP18).

S-VideoUsing an S-video cable, connect the display device’s S-video input to the S-Video Monitor Out jack (RP18).

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 (RP22). (For HDMI-equipped components, use an HDMI-to-DVI adapter.)

Note: The Model 970's on-screen display does not appear at the DVI OUT jack. Use a component, S-Video, or composite video connection to your video display device in addition to the DVI connection.
