CONNECTING YOUR P 7: AUDIO OUTPUT CONNECTIONS

9

The frequency response of the Left, Right & Sub output jacks is not affected by the P 7. A subwoofer channel is not created by the P 7.

Subwoofer Trim Adjustment:

The subwoofer channel level can be adjusted from the P 7’s remote control or at the front panel. On the remote control, press the Enter button and then the Bass Up or Bass Down buttons. On the front panel, press the Select button twice then rotate the Volume/Select knob. There are two possible independent subwoofer level trim settings, one setting for the stereo inputs (Inputs 1–8) and another setting for the multichannel inputs (Inputs 9 and 10). This is useful because you may prefer to have different subwoofer levels for your stereo sources and your multichannel sources.

TAPE RECORD OUT JACKS

The Record Out jacks connect to the record Input jacks on your audio recorder. The Record Out jacks provide fixed level signals that are unaffected by the P 7’s volume control, balance control, tone controls or mute. The Record Out jacks of the P 7 are always “live” and there is no simulta- neous playback monitoring function. You could also use the Record Out jacks to send sound to a second room which has its own volume control and amplifier.

Note: With stereo sources the Record Out jacks carry the L and R signals. For 5.1 or 7.1 channel sources the left Record Out carries a downmix of the L, C, LS, LB and Sub channels. The right Record Out carries a downmix of the R, C, RS, RB and Sub channels.
