Video Conversion

The AVC-A1SR is equipped with a video switching system that converts composite video signals to S-Video and/or composite and S-video to component video. The input signal types---whether composite, S-Video, or component---are auto detected, then the signal with the highest picture quality is given highest priority and output to the monitor.

(Manual operation can be used to override auto detection.)

Support for Multi Zone Configurations

The AVC-A1SR provides a Multi Zone Output function and a Select function that let you output different sources to multiple zones. Sources can be selected for output to up to 2 additional zones, in addition to the main room. Multi-room Zone 1 can have variable pre-amp output along with compos- ite video feed, and Multi-room Zone 2 can have fixed stereo audio output. The AVC-A1SR’s Power Amplifier Assign function lets you assign the 2 Surround Back (SB L/R) amplifier channels when the system is not configured for 7.1, to instead drive the Multi-room Zone 2 speakers, with 225 Watts per channel output power, while still providing 5 discrete amplifier channels to drive all speakers in a 5.1 configured home theater room.
