Model 950 Rear Panel

Below is a brief explanation of the connections and switches found on the rear panel of the Model 950 Preamp/Processor. Before connecting any audio or video components to the unit, familiarize yourself with the type and location of connectors available.

1FM Antenna terminal (see page 20)

Use to connect the supplied FM antenna or an external 75 antenna.

2AM Antenna terminals (see page 20)

Connect the supplied AM loop antenna or an external AM antenna to these terminals.

3Remote Trigger jacks (see page 21)

Use the MAIN and ZONE DC TRIGGER jacks to control external devices (such as a power amplifier) with a 3-32 VDC trigger input. The device connected to the MAIN jack will be activated when the 950 is turned on and should be used for connections to power amplifiers for the main room speakers. The device connected to the ZONE trigger will only be activated when the Multi-zone system is turned on. Connect it to the amplifier used to power the speakers in the second zone.

4Remote Control jacks (see page 21)

Use the MAIN and ZONE EXT REMOTE jacks to connect external IR sen- sors to the Model 950. When the unit is installed behind doors or where it is not otherwise visible to the remote, connect an optional, external

sensor to the MAIN jack. To control the 950’s Multiroom system from a remote location, connect an optional remote sensor in the second room to the ZONE jack

5Component Video Input jacks (see page 19-20)

Use these two sets of jacks to connect devices with component video outputs such as a DVD player or HDTV tuner.

6S-Video jacks (see page 19-20)

Connect the S-Video output of sources to the appropriate input jacks. Connect the VCR-OUT jack to the input of a VCR or other recorder and connect the OUT jack to an S-Video input on your video display device.

7Component Video Output jacks (see page 19-20)

Use these jacks to supply component video output to an external monitor that accepts component video signals.

85.1 Channel Input jacks (see page 21)

Connect the multichannel signal from the analog audio outputs of a device such as a DVD, DVD-A or SACD to these jacks.

9Digital Outputs (see page 20)

Use the coaxial and optical digital outputs to connect the preamp/processor to a device such as CD recorder, DAT recorder, or other similar device that accepts a digital audio input.

Designed for both professional and home environments, the Dolby 950 7.1 system offers a comprehensive suite of features that elevate audio quality to new heights.

At its core, the Dolby 950 7.1 system incorporates a seven-channel setup, which includes left, center, right, left surround, right surround, left back, and right back channels, coupled with a powerful subwoofer for enhanced low-frequency response.
