18 IEC Line Cord Socket

The PT-7010A comes with a detachable line cord which connects here. Plug the line cord into an AC wall socket or power strip which is correctly configured with the voltage and current supply specified for the PT-7010A.

19 Digital Inputs

These inputs connect to the digital outputs of your audio/ video components. The DVD, SAT and VID1 and CD inputs have two options, optical or coaxial. The DAT and VID2 inputs are coaxial only. Whenever one of these inputs is selected from

the front panel or remote, the

PT-7010A will automatically

select the digital input if there is a signal present, otherwise it will select the corresponding analog input.

20 Digital Output

This S/PDIF output is active for all sources except the 8-channel input. It allows you to record digital audio, for example to a DAT or CD-R.

other components will require if they share a common wall socket. The majority of household electrical sockets in places other than the kitchen and garage are 15 amperes maximum. Most DVD players and other source components are fairly low current items. The Sherbourn PT-7010A requires a minimum of 2 amperes @ 120 volts. It should be sufficient to allow the PT-7010A to share a wall socket with other video source units, but power amplifiers and a video display (big screen TV or video projector) should each be provided a SEPARATE electrical connection on a SEPARATE circuit. This configuration yields the most stable power supply in any home theater application, regardless of your equipment choices.

IMPORTANT- Please note the PT-7010A requires initialization after the power cord is plugged into the AC receptacle. Push and hold the power button for approximately. 5 seconds. The unit will power up after this small delay. The second push of the power button will turn the unit off and after this the unit will turn on and off in a normal fashion

.

Refer to your power amplifier and video display owner’s manuals to learn the power requirements so you can safely plan your electrical power requirements for your home entertainment system.

Installation and Connections

Observe the following precautions when choosing a location for your Sherbourn PT-7010A:

1)Protect it from prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and other direct sources of heat, such as heating vents and radiators.

2)Do not expose the unit to rain or moisture. If fluid or a foreign object should enter the unit, immediately turn off the power and contact your Sherbourn Dealer.

3)Avoid excessive exposure to extreme cold or dust.

4)Do not place heavy objects on top of the unit.

5)If you need to clean the front surface, first turn off the power and then use a soft dry cloth, rubbing with the grain. Be careful not to scratch the display window.

AC Power Considerations

Ensure that the unit is plugged into an outlet capable of supplying the correct voltage and current specified for your model. Remember to account for the electrical power that

Connection Tips for Superior Sound

Before setting up your new system, please consider the following:

•Whenever possible, route the power cords away from the signal cables or speaker wires to prevent any hum or interference heard in the speakers.

•Use quality coaxial digital cables to connect the PT- 7010A to any source equipment which has coaxial digital outputs. Optical cables transmit only light pulses and are much more immune to noises, but are sensitive to excessive bends. Whichever you choose, follow the cable manufacturer’s recommendations.

•Many RCA type patch cords can be a very tight fit and there is usually a preferred method of getting them off. Some have to be removed with a twisting action. Be gentle or you may damage the jacks of your PT-7010A, or other components.

•Many audiophile signal cables are intended to be hooked up in one direction. If this is the case the cables will be marked with arrows the direction of signal flow.

•It is usual for the right channel RCA patch cord plugs to be red and the left channel connections to be white, grey, or black (depending on the cable brand). RCA connectors that are gold will be designated with a colored band to designate the channel.

•If the amplifier to which you will connect the PT-7010A features balanced XLR inputs, use the PT-7010A’s XLR
