Important Note for Adapter Cables:
If the cinch connectors of the adapter you’ll use are labeled, connect the Audio and Video ”In” plugs with the corresponding Audio and Video ”In” jacks on the AVR (and with a VCR connect the ”Out” plugs to the ”Out” jacks on the VCR). Note that with some adapter types it may be just turned around: If no signal is audible/visible when

If the adapter plugs are not labeled in that way, pay attention to the signal flow directions as shown in the diagrams above and in the instruction attached to the adapter. If uncertain, don’t hesi- tate to consult your dealer.

When video sources are connected to the TV directly with a SCART cable, specific control signals apart from Audio/Video signals will be fed to the TV. These specific signals are: With all video sources, the signal for automatic input selection that switches the TV automatically to the appro- priate input as soon as the video source is start-

And with DVD players, the signals automati- cally turning the TV to 4:3/16:9 format (with 16:9 TVs or with 4:3 TVs with selectable 16:9 format) and turning the RGB video decoder of the TV on or off, depending on the DVD player´s setting. With any adapter cable, these control signals will be lost and the appropriate setting of the TV must be made manually.
Note for RGB signal with SCART:
If you use a unit providing RGB signals on a SCART output (as e.g. most DVD players do) and you want to use that RGB signal, this SCART out- put must be connected directly to your TV. Although the AVR can switch
AVR only when no separate sync signal is needed (see last ”Video Connection Note” on page 14).

AC Power Connections
This unit is equipped with one accessory AC out- lets. It may be used to power Accessory devices, but it should not be used with
The Switched outlet will receive power only when the unit is on completely. This is recom- mended for devices that have no power switch or a mechanical power switch that may be left in the “ON” position.
NOTE: Many audio and video products go into a Standby mode when they are used with switched outlets, and cannot be fully turned on using the outlet alone without a remote control command.
The AVR draws significantly more current than other household devices such as computers that use removable power cords. For that reason, it is important that only the cord supplied with the unit (or a direct replacement of identical capacity) be used.
Once the power cord is connected, you are almost ready to enjoy the AVR 147’s incredible power and fidelity!
