TUNER
Intended for the analogue outputs from an FM, AM or DAB radio tuner.
CD
Intended for the analogue outputs from a CD player.
AUX
This is a 3.5mm analogue input on the front panel intended for use with devices such as MP3 players. To connect an MP3 player (or other portable audio device) you will need a 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable connected between the AUX input and the headphone socket of the device.
Recording loops
The A18 is equipped with two recording loops: AV and PVR. These are for use with recording devices – such as a CD recorder, DAT recorder, cassette recorder, VCR, PVR, etc. The AV outputs may have any of the input connectors assigned to them for recording purposes.
AV OUT
Connect these output sockets to the input sockets of your recording device (usually labelled RECORD or in).
To record from a particular source, press the appropriate source button (for example, TUNER), then press AV. Any source selected immediately before AV is routed to the AV OUT connectors for recording purposes and is shown on the front panel (e.g. RC TUNER).
PVR OUT
The PVR Out also has the source selected immediately before AV routed to it, unless that source is PVR In, in which case PVR Out is muted. As with AV Out, changing to another source will change the signal that is sent to
PVR Out.
