allows you to choose which inputs will activate the relay. The +12 VDC outputs are on when-ever their zone is enabled. Sherbourn amplifiers have a +12 VDC input which allows them to be turned on automatically by the PT-7010A. The 1 /8" mini-jack is wired in parallel with the terminals. Do not exceed a current draw of 500 mA total for both outputs.

DSP surround are by-passed in order to maintain the highest fidelity. This input is not available in Zone 2.

11 FM Antenna

The supplied FM antenna fits this “F-type” screw- on connector. Other antennas can be fitted for improved reception.

7 RS-232 Port

This connects to the serial port of a home or laptop computer, allowing the PT-7010A flash memory software to be up-graded. The

latest software can be downloaded from the Sherbourn website, see page 60. It also allows connection of an op- tional control device intended to be installed in a remote location.

8 XLR Audio Outputs

These line-level

balanced XLR outputs connect to the XLR inputs of your

amplifiers and powered subwoofer. The outputs are: front

left, front right,

center, left surround, left surround back, right surround back, right surround and one subwoofer (LFE) output. If your amplifier has a choice of inputs, we recommend using the XLR balanced type. This gives better noise rejection, especially for longer cable runs.

9 Main Audio Outputs

These line-level RCA outputs connect to the

inputs of your amplifiers and powered subwoofer(s). There

are outputs for front left, front right, center, left surround, left surround back, right surround back, right surround and three identical subwoofer (LFE) outputs.

10 8-CH Analog Input These analog audio inputs can connect to the output of an external

surround processor, or a source component such as DVD-Audio,

SACD, or a DVD player with its own surround decoder. You can select this as an input from the front panel or remote control. The eight channels of analog audio will then pass into the PT-7010A Note: This is designed to be

avery short, ultra pure, analog-only signal path. DSP- based effects such as tone controls, bass management and

12 AM Antenna

These connections are for the included AM loop antenna.

13 Ground Screw

This is commonly used for the ground connection wire of a turntable, to prevent any hum in your speakers. It is tied to the chassis ground, and may be used as needed.

Note: It is not necessary or desirable to connect this to an electrical ground.

14 Audio Inputs

These audio inputs connect to the outputs of your turntable, DAT or TAPE player.

Any standard audio component with a line-level output can be connected to DAT or TAPE. Only a turntable with a

moving-magnet, or high-output moving coil cartridge can be connected to the PHONO input.

15 Audio Outputs

These audio outputs connect to the analog record inputs of your tape decks, such as DAT, cassette or reel to reel. These outputs allow you to record the selected audio program. Note that these also allow analog recording from digital audio sources.

16 Stereo Outputs

FIXED MAIN is a line level output, and the volume is not adjustable. This can be used as a record output, or to feed another audio

system. ZONE 2 connects to the inputs of a stereo amplifier to run Zone 2. The volume

and source are adjustable, either from the front panel, or from a remote IR sensor.

17 Side-Axis Outputs

These outputs provide two optional front side channels to complement the left, center, right, surround and surround back channels. They can be turned on or off using the Speaker Size OSD menu (see page 37).
