output connectors correspond to the AVP2. If not, wire the cables so that the appropriate output pin connects to the equivalent input pin.
Connect the right-channel and left-channel balanced outputs of your source components to the corresponding balanced inputs on the AVP2.
•Note: If you do not have balanced sources and need another single-ended input, it is possible to fabricate a cable to connect line-level sources with single-ended output to these balanced in- puts:
1 2
22-gauge 
3 bus wire
Male RCA | Male XLR |
(connect to source) | (connect to AVP) |
2SINGLE-ENDED ANALOG INPUTS 2-5 AND 6-8
These inputs normally accept right-channel and left-channel audio signals from source equipment with single-ended (RCA) outputs. Single-ended au- dio inputs are provided for a total of seven components. Note that the video portion of the signal from any video source (VCR, laserdisc, TV) would be connected on the right side of the rear panel, in the Video Input section. (See below.)
Connect the right-channel and left-channel single-ended outputs of your various source components to the corresponding inputs on the AVP2.
If you have the “AVP2 Plus,” then inputs 6-8 may be “ganged together” to form a single, high quality, six-channel input for DVD-Audio or SACD. Sig- nificantly, all of the AVP2’s powerful bass management options remain avail- able for this multichannel analog input.
3AES/EBU DIGITAL INPUT 1
Digital Input 1 accepts digital audio in the professional 110Ω AES/EBU digital interface standard (via a cable equipped with XLR-type connectors) from a digital satellite receiver, compact disc, laserdisc, DVD or other digital source component. Connect the AES/EBU digital output of your source component to the AES/EBU input of the AVP2 using a high quality 110Ω AES/EBU cable such as Madrigal MDC-1.
The pin assignments of these AES/EBU XLR-type female input connectors are:
| PUSH | Pin 1: Shield |
| 2 | 1 | Pin 2: Digital + (non-inverting) |
| Pin 3: Digital – (inverting) |
| 3 | |
Connector ground lug: chassis ground
These pin assignments are consistent with the standards adopted by the Audio Engineering Society and the European Broadcast Union. Refer to the operating manuals of your digital sources to verify that the pin assignments of their output connectors correspond to the Audio Video Preamplifier. If not, wire the cables so that the appropriate output pin connects to the equivalent input pin.
