1.9INTERCONNECTS

These illustrations show various audio, video, and 12V trigger connectors that are used between source components, the AVM 50, displays, and power amplifiers. Note that when RCA cables have coaxial construction and their impedance is 75 ohms, they are equally suitable for analog video and digital audio.

For digital video, a cable with DVI connection on one end and HDMI connection on the other can be used to connect equipment that has DVI jacks. This cable is more reliable than using a DVI to HDMI adapter on one end of a cable that has the same connector type on both ends.

Important notes regarding HDMI cables:

1080p uses twice the bandwidth that 720p and 1080i do – make sure that the cable is suitable for your application, especially when using a long cable, otherwise the picture may contain pixel dropouts or not play at all. For runs longer than approximately 20 feet, you may need a repeater or an HDMI optical connection – contact your dealer.

BE CAREFUL WHEN INSERTING HDMI CABLES. The connector should slide into the jack easily – do not insert it on an angle and do not force it in. Each connector contains 19 delicate pins, and cables with damaged pins can damage the jack. Jacks damaged through misuse are not covered under warranty. If your HDMI cables have been connected so many times that they are about to wear out, we strongly recommend that you replace them to prevent damage to any HDMI jacks in your system.
