5.1 Analog Inputs

The 5.1 Analog Input jacks are designed to accept up to six channels of processed analog output from a DVD player or other component with discrete outputs. Connect the six discrete outputs of your source component to the corresponding 5.1 Analog Input jacks of the AVC- 2500. Note: You will need an optional module to control volume from the 5.1 analog inputs. Othewise, you should use the volume control on your DVD player if so equipped.

Audio Only Record Output Connections

The audio signal from the source you selected for the main zone is routed to both pairs of Record Output connectors. Connect the left and right play/output of your tape deck to the left and right of any of the AVC-2500’s Audio 1-Audio 6 input connectors. Next, connect the left and right audio record/input connectors of your tape deck to either pair of Left and Right channel Record Output connectors of your AVC-2500.

Front Left and Right Channel Outputs

Connect the Left and Right Front channel outputs of your AVC-2500 to either the inputs of a two channel amplifier or to two channels of a multi-channel amplifier that are then connected to your main front left and right (L, R) speakers.

Center Channel Output

Connect the Center channel output of your AVC-2500 to the input of a mono amplifier or to the channel of the multi-channel amplifier that is connected to your center (C) speaker.

Left and Right Surround Channel Outputs

Connect the Left and Right Surround output jacks of your AVC-2500 to the inputs of the two channel amplifier or to two channels of a multi-channel amplifier that are connected to your left and right surround (LS, RS) speakers.

Subwoofer Output Connections

Two Subwoofer output jacks are provided for your convenience if you have two subwoofers. For passive subwoofers without built-in amplifiers, connect the Left and/or Right Sub outputs of your AVC-2500 to the input(s) of the amplifier channel(s) that are connected to your passive subwoofer(s). For powered subwoofers with built-in amplifiers, connect the Left and Right Sub outputs of your AVC-2500 to the left and right line inputs of your subwoofer. If your subwoofer has only one input jack, you can use either the Left or Right outputs of the AVC-2500 since both send the same monaural information. We recommend that you switch off the crossover on your subwoofer amp and use the 24 dB per octave low pass filter of the AVC-2500. If your sub doesn’t have a bypass switch for its crossover, adjust it to the highest frequency setting.

AC Line Cord Connection

The rear panel mounted IEC standard AC receptacle accepts the AC cord supplied with your AVC-2500. We recommend the use of an AC line filter to protect the AVC-2500 against potentially damaging line surges and voltage fluctuations. Plug the female end of the AC cord firmly into the rear mounted AC receptacle and make sure that it is properly seated, then connect the male end to an uninterrupted AC power line.

Main External Remote Control

The Main External IR allows for remote control operation via a wired infrared repeater system or system controller when infrared commands cannot directly reach the front panel infrared receiver. The input connector accepts a standard 1/8-inch (3.5 mm) two conductor mini plug. The tip is positive and the sleeve is negative. Your Authorized Parasound Dealer or Custom Installer can recommend a compatible infrared repeater system for the AVC- 2500. Connect the output of an infrared repeater system to the Main IR input.
