SETUP INPUTS DVD1 MAIN ADVANCED ANALOG BYPASS

When set to ON, the RV-8 passes the analog input signal to the Main Zone audio output connectors. For stereo analog sources, the input is sent to the FRONT L/R outputs. For a 5.1-channel analog source, the

(L)input is sent to the FRONT L output. The (R) input is sent to the FRONT R output. The (C) input is sent to the center output. The (SUB) input is sent to the SUB output. The (LS) input is sent to the SIDE L and REAR L outputs. The (RS) input is sent to the SIDE R and REAR R outputs. When ANALOG BYPASS is set to OFF, the unit routes the analog input signal through A/D conversion. This makes it possible to utilize internal processing, including listening modes, crossovers and equalization. Neither Zone 2 nor Zone 3 provide multichannel outputs. If the 5.1-channel analog input is selected for Zone 2 or Zone 3, only the front left and right (L)/(R) inputs will be available.

When LIVE! is the selected analog input, the MAIN ADVANCED INPUT SELECT parameter is forced to ANALOG, and ANALOG BYPASS is disabled.

Note:

If the Main Zone source is 5.1 analog, only the Front L/R channels will be sent to the Zone 2 S/PDIF outputs.

Controls the passage of anamorphic trigger signals present in some video sources. When set to AUTO, the RV-8 allows anamorphic video input signals to pass through the S-Video switcher, enabling compatible display devices to automatically switch between anamorphic and non-anamorphic display modes.

When OFF, the RV-8 prevents anamorphic video input signals from passing through the S-Video switcher, preventing compatible display devices from automatically switching between anamorphic and non-anamorphic display modes.
