AV8003 CONNECTIONS

The connection example given below shows the connections between the amplifier and AV8003 AV pre-tuner for basic sound reproduction through 7 channels.

When using the BALANCED inputs, use the XLR audio cables; when using the UNBALANCED inputs, use the RCA audio cables. Connect the PRE OUT connectors on the control amplifier to the input connectors on this amplifier. Use this connection example as a reference when a control amplifier other than the AV8003 is to be used.

Notes:

•Do not connect the power cables of this amplifier and other components to the AC outlet until all the connections have been completed.

•Insert the plugs on the connecting cables firmly into the connectors. Noise may be caused by improper connections.

•For details on the components connected to this amplifier, refer to the operating instructions of each component.
