11. HEADPHONE SOCKET & VIDEO 5 INPUT

HEADPHONE SOCKET - A 1/4” stereo jack socket is supplied for headphone listening and will work with conventional headphones of any impedance. The volume and tone controls are operative for headphone listening. Use a suitable adapter to connect headphones with other types of connectors such as 3.5mm stereo ‘personal stereo’ jack plugs.

Inserting a headphone will automatically turn off all speakers and signals from the Audio Pre-Out sockets and switches the T741 to the stereo mode. Surround sound modes are not available when headphones are inserted in the headphone socket.

The sound from the EXT. 5.1 CH input is not available on the headphones socket.

NOTES

•In the VFL display “Speaker settings”, be sure to have selected and adjusted a preset with “MAIN SPEAKERS” set to “LARGE”. If set to “SMALL”, bass response will be limited.

•Listening at high levels can damage your hearing.

VIDEO 5 INPUT - For easy and temporary connection you can connect a camcorder (playback only) or video game console. If the game console or camcorder is mono, connect the audio lead to the R (Right) audio socket.

12. AUDIO & VIDEO INPUT SELECTORS

VIDEO 1 - Video 1 selects the signal from a TV/Satellite/Cable receiver or DVD player connected to VIDEO 1 as the active input. “VIDEO-1” is shown in the Display Panel when selected.

The Digital Input 1 is linked to the Video 1 input (marked Digital In 1 on GB back panel; No. 6). Digital Input 1 allows for connection of a digital source with an Optical (Toslink) digital output. Whenever the corresponding digital input is activated, Digital Input 1 will also be selected; in the display the “DIGITAL 1” indicator will start to blink. If a digital audio signal is detected, the “DIGITAL 1” indicator will stop blinking and remain lit. If no digital audio signal is detected, “DIGITAL 1”

indicator will cease blinking and extinguish.

VIDEO 2 - Video 2 selects the signal from a TV/Satellite/Cable receiver or DVD player connected to VIDEO 2 as the active input. “VIDEO-2” is shown in the Display Panel when selected.

The Digital Input 2 is linked to the Video 2 Input (marked Digital In 2 on back panel; No. 5). Digital Input 2 allows for connection of a digital source with an coaxial (RCA Jack) digital output. Whenever the corresponding digital input is activated, Digital Input 2 will also be selected; in the display the “DIGITAL 2” indicator will start to blink. If a digital audio signal is detected, the “DIGITAL 2” indicator will stop blinking and remain lit. If no digital audio signal is detected, “DIGITAL 2” indicator will cease blinking and extinguish.

VIDEO 3 & VIDEO 4 - Video 3 & 4 select the signal from a TV/Satellite/Cable receiver, DVD player or VCR connected to VIDEO 3 or VIDEO 4 as the active input. “VIDEO-3” or “VIDEO-4” is shown in the Display Panel when selected. The Video 3 & 4 inputs also have video and analogue audio outputs specifically for recording video devices.

The Digital Input 3 is linked to the Video 3 input (marked Digital In on back panel; No. 5). Digital Input 3 allows for connection of a digital source with a Coaxial (RCA Jack) digital output. Whenever the corresponding digital input is activated, Digital Input 3 will also be selected; in the display the “DIGITAL 3” indicator will start to blink. If a digital audio signal is detected, the “DIGITAL 3” indicator will stop blinking and remain lit. If no digital audio signal is detected, “DIGITAL 3” indicator will cease blinking and extinguish.

VIDEO OUTPUT - The video signal available on the S-Video and Video Composite outputs is dependent on the selected video input (VIDEO-1, VIDEO-2, VIDEO-3, VIDEO-4, VIDEO-5). However, when one of the audio-only sources is selected (FM, AM, CD, Tape Monitor or Ext. 5.1) the last selected video signal from one of the video inputs will be present on these outputs. This way you can watch a DVD player or video whilst listening to the CD player.

The display indicates which video signal is routed to the MONITOR OUT sockets (No. 7 on back panel).

13. CD

Selects the CD as the active input.

14. TAPE MONITOR

Selects the output from a tape recorder when playing back tapes or monitoring recordings being made through the Tape sockets. Press the TAPE MONITOR button once to select it and again to return to the normal input selection.

The Tape Monitor function does not override the current input selection. For example, if the CD is the active input when Tape Monitor is selected, the CD signal will continue to be selected and is sent to the Tape Out, Video 3 and Video 4 Out sockets. But it is the sound from recorder connected to Tape that will be heard on the loudspeakers when the TAPE MONITOR function is selected. When Tape Monitor is selected, “TAPE MONITOR” will remain lit until Tape Monitor is disengaged again.

15. EXT. 5.1

Selects the multi-channel output signal from the DVD player or external decoder source (such as MPEG, for instance) connected to the 5.1 Ch. Input as the active input. The 5.1 Input is a direct pass through with only the volume control in the circuit. Bass management settings and tone controls are not available on this input.

NOTE

No Ext. 5.1 audio signal is available from headphones socket, the Tape, Video 3 and Video 4 out-puts when the Ext. 5.1. input has been selected.
