1Service/Normal

For dealer use only - Switches the 650R between normal (default) mode and two Service modes. Do not change the mode to service or make RS232 connections to it in service mode as damage may result!

2RS232C

Used for control of the 650R in Custom Install situations. A full protocol is available for the 650R on our website.

3FM/AM antenna

All tuner antenna connections are made here. Refer to the ‘Antenna Connections’ section of this manual for more information.

4HDMI

Inputs and output to a suitable TV/Monitor. The HDMI inputs can be assigned in the OSD to the BD/DVD, Video 1, Video 2 or Rec 1 sources, see later section.

5Video 1/2, Recorder 1/2, BD/DVD, Aux

Please refer to the connection diagrams later in this manual for more information on these inputs and outputs.

6TV/Mon outputs

S-Video - Connect to your television via S-Video cable.

Composite - Connect to your television via 75 ohm RCA phono cable.

Component - Connect to the Cr/Pr, Cb/Pb, & Y terminals of a television set.

7Heat tunnel vent grille

Allows cooling of internal circuitry via the 650R’s proprietary X-TRACT heat tunnel. DO NOT OBSTRUCT!

8Component Video inputs (BD/DVD, Video 1/2, Recorder 1)

Connect the Component Video outputs from the source equipment.

The Video 1/2 input can be used for either source simply by selecting HDMI for either source using the Video Input Type button or doing the same thing via the Video Input Type menu in the OSD.

Note: The preferred connection method for video inputs or outputs is always Composite Video, then S-Video, then Component Video, then HDMI in ascending order of quality (HDMI being the highest quality). HDMI and Component Video sources often also support Progressive Scan which gives better picture quality if supported by both your BD/DVD player and TV.

97.1 Direct In

Connect to the output terminals of a DVD-A, SACD player or other 5.1/6.1/7.1 analogue source.

107.1 Preamp Out

Connect to the 5.1/6.1/7.1 channel input terminals of another amplifier system, separate power amps, subwoofer or active loudspeakers.

11A-BUS™ Ready/Incognito Ready™ multi-room outputs

PSU In - Connect an Incognito PS5 to supply power to the connected multi- room keypads/speakers.

Keypad 1/2 - Connect one or two Incognito A-BUS KP10 keypads (or other A- BUS compatible keypads) or AS10 Active Ceiling Speakers using CAT5/5e cable, allowing 2nd/3rd zone multi-room capability.

IR - Three IR emitter outputs for remote control of source equipment.

Video Out 1/2 - Provides video feeds to the 2nd/3rd zone.

Please refer to the ‘Multi-Room’ section of this manual for more information on connections and setup.

12Emitter In

Allows modulated IR commands from multi-room systems or IR repeater systems to be received by the 650R. Commands received here are not looped out of the Control Bus. Refer to the ‘Custom Installation’ section for more information.

13Control Bus

In - Allows un-modulated commands from multi-rooms systems or other components to be received by the unit.

Out - Loop out for control bus commands to another unit.

14Speaker terminals

Connect to loudspeakers with an impedance of between 4-8 ohms. 7.1, 6.1, 5.1 or less connections can be made.

15Mains power lead

Once you have completed all connections, plug the AC power lead into an appropriate mains socket. The AV receiver is now ready for use.

16Power On/Off

Switches the unit on and off.
