Figure 4 – Audio Connections

Dashed lines (– – – –) indicate coax and optical digital audio connections. Choose either type (but not both) for each digital audio source.

Step 4. Connect AM and FM antennas (as shown above). (See page 14.) Step 5. Connect source components, as shown in Figures 4 and 5, and the

Device Connection Options chart on the back of this Guide (see pages 14 –15).

AUDIO connections: Right channel (red) on source to right (red) on AVR, and left channel (white) on source to left (white) on AVR. DIGITAL AUDIO connections, if available: Choose either coax (orange) to coax (orange) OR optical to optical for each device. The Coax 1 input defaults to the DVD player, but may be reassigned. Assign the other digital inputs and outputs as appropriate for your equipment (see Step 7).

VIDEO connections: Choose either composite (yellow) or S-Video (4-pin) for each video source. Connect the composite and S-Video

Monitor outputs to your Video Monitor (TV). Switch your TV set’s input to match the type of video used for the currently selected source.

Step 6. Plug all components into AC power outlets. The outlets on the back of the AVR 125 should be used only for low-current products, such as CD or DVD players, and the total should not exceed 100 watts.

Basic Receiver Configuration

Step 7. Select digital inputs: If your DVD is connected to Coax 1, no adjust- ment is needed. For any other digital-device connections, use the front-panel Digital Select button and the arrow buttons to select an optical or coax digital input (see pages 20 and 23).

Step 8. Select a surround mode: Press the Surround Mode button on the front panel to select Dolby® Pro Logic® II – Movie. (You may select other modes later as you become familiar with the AVR 125; see

pages 17, 20 and 22–23.)

Step 9. Configure speakers: No action is needed if you have five “small” satellite-type speakers and a subwoofer. Otherwise, press the Speaker button and then the Set and arrow buttons to select the correct speaker choices for your system (see pages 17–18).

Step 10. Set output levels: Set the Balance to 12 o’clock, and the Volume to –15dB. Sit in the listening position and press the Test button on the remote. The Test tone (it sounds like static) will circulate from speaker to speaker. Press the up/down arrow keys to adjust the level of each speaker until they all sound the same. If you have an SPL meter, set it to 75dB, C-Weighting Slow. Press the Test button again. (See pages 18–19).

Step 11. Your system is configured – sit back and enjoy!
