Video Recorder
A video recording device such as a VCR, PVR (such as a TiVo®, Replay®, Ulti-
mateTV®, DishPlayer® or similar device) or DVD recorder can be connected
to the Model PT-7000 using the following methods.
Composite
Connect the composite video output from the recording device to
the VCR IN composite video jack on the rear of the preamp/processor. Connect
the recording device’s composite video input to the VCR OUT composite video
jack of the PT-7000 using an RCA-type video cable.
S-Video
If there is an S-Video output on the recording device, connect it to
the S-Video VCR IN input on the rear of the preamp/processor and connect the
S-Video input to the S-Video VCR OUT using an S-video cable. S-Video deliv-
ers a better picture than composite connections and should be used whenever
possible unless you can use component connections, which deliver better video
than S-Video.
Component
If the recording device has component video outputs, connect
them to one of the component video input jacks (DVD or VIDEO 1) on the rear
of the preamp/processor using an appropriate cable set.
Analog Audio
Connect the L and R audio outputs on the recorder to the VCR
IN audio jacks on the rear of the preamp/processor and connect the L and R
inputs of the recorder to the VCR OUT audio jacks on the Model PT-7000.
Digital Audio
If your recording device also has a digital audio output jack,
connect it to one of the coaxial (COAX 1 or 2) or optical (OPT 1-4) input jacks
on the rear of the preamp/processor, depending on the type of connector used
by the device. Later, you will congure the PT-7000 to use the specic input
that you have chosen. For now, note which digital input you connected to on
your system chart.
If your recording device also has a digital input jack, connect it to either the
coaxial or optical output jack on the rear of the preamp/processor, depending
on the type of connector used by the device. The signal from the selected input
source of the PT-7000 will be sent to the recorder .
Video Display
A video display device such as a television monitor, xed-pixel device (plasma
or LCD) or video projector can be connected to the PT-7000 using the fol-
lowing methods.
Composite
Connect the composite video input from the display to the com-
posite video OUT jack on the rear of the PT-7000 using an RCA-type video
cable.
S-Video
If there is an S-Video input on the display, connect it to the S-Video
OUT jack on the rear of the preamp/processor using an S-video cable. S-Video
delivers a better picture than composite connections and should be used
whenever possible unless you can use component connections, which deliver
better video than S-Video.
Component
If the display has component video inputs, connect them to the
component video MONITOR OUT jacks on the rear of the PT-7000 using an
appropriate cable set.
NOTE:
Since the PT-7000 converts composite video to S-Video and
vice versa, you need only make one of those two types of connections
between the PT-7000 and your video display. However, when com-
ponent video connections are used it is still necessary to make either
the composite or S-Video connections so that you are able to view the
on-screen menus and displays which do not appear on the component
outputs. The PT-7000 does not convert from either composite or S-Video
to component or vice-versa.
Satellite Tuner or Television
Composite
Connect the composite video output from the satellite tuner or
television to one of the video input jacks (VIDEO 1, 2 or 3) on the rear of the
PT-7000 using an RCA-type video cable.
S-Video
If there is an S-Video output on the satellite tuner or television, connect
it to one of the S-Video inputs (VIDEO 1, 2 or 3) on the rear of the PT-7000
using an S-video cable. S-Video delivers a better picture than composite con-
nections and should be used whenever possible unless you can use component
connections, which deliver better video than S-Video.
Component
If the satellite tuner or television has component video outputs,
connect them to one of the component video input jacks (DVD or VIDEO 1)
on the rear of the PT-7000 using an appropriate cable set.
Analog Audio
Connect the L and R channel outputs on the satellite tuner or
television to the set of audio input jacks (VIDEO 1, 2 or 3) directly under the
video jack used on the rear of the PT-7000.
Digital Audio
If your satellite tuner or television has a digital output jack,
connect it to one of the coaxial (COAX 1 or 2) or optical (OPT 1-4) input jacks
on the rear of the preamp/processor, depending on the type of connector used
by the device. Later, you will congure the PT-7000 to use the specic input
that you have chosen. For now, note which digital input you connected to on
your system chart.
FM Antenna
Connect the supplied FM antenna to the terminal labeled FM75Ω. Do not over
tighten as this may damage the connection.
The supplied FM antenna is for indoor use only. For best signal reception you
must fully extend the antenna. Experiment with the antenna’s position to
obtain the strongest signal. You can attach it to a wall or other surface using
push pins or similar apparatus.
If FM reception is poor with the supplied indoor antenna, the use of an ampli-
ed indoor or outdoor antenna is recommended.
NOTE: You can only connect a 75Ω type FM antenna to the
PT-7000.
If you choose to use an antenna other than the one supplied, be
sure to verify that it has the correct type of connector or that you obtain
an appropriate adaptor.
Try to avoid using the same antenna for both FM and TV reception
since the signals can interfere with each other. If you must use a com-
mon FM/TV antenna, be sure that you install a splitter to separate the
two signals.
