Installing

Your

AVP1A

For

convenience

of

operation,

we

suggest

that

you

run

all

your

main

audio

and

video

sources

through

the

AVP1A.

Four

inputs

(including

the

tape

monitor

input)

accept

audio

and

composite

video

sources

while

the

remaining

two

accept

audio

and

S

-type

(Y/C)

video

from

S

-VHS,

S

-Beta,

and

some

laser

video

players

and

satellite

receivers.

The

AVP1A

does

not

transcode

the

video

signals.

Composite

video

will

only

appear

on

the

composite

video

outputs

(monitor

and

record)

Likewise,

S

-type

signals

will

only

appear

on

the

S

-type

outputs.

The

AVP1A

can

become

the

heart

of

a

home

entertainment

environment.

Every

type

of

consumer

audio

source

can

be

used

with

the

AVP1A

except

a

turntable.

If

you

wish

to

use

a

turntable/cartridge

with

the

AVP1A,

you

will

require

a

pre-

amplifier

or

stereo

receiver

to

provide

proper

pre

-amplifica-

tion

and

RIM

equalization

for

the

magnetic

phono

cartridge.

The

main

output

or

tape

record

output

from

the

preamp

or

receiver

should

be

connected

to

one

of

the

six

audio

input

on

the

AVP1A.

14

The

main

audio

outputs

of

the

AVP1A

are

designed

for

use

with

either

THX

-

certified

or

conventional

speakers.

The

electronic

crossover

switch

(on

the

back

panel)

must

be

engaged

when

using

THX

(certified

speakers,

separate

sub

-

woofer

and

LCR

speakers).

If

you

have

a

small

room

and

are

only

using

one

subwoofer,

use

the

Mono

Sub

output.

If

you

are

using

a

single

pair

of

conventional

surround

speakers

or

THX

dipolar

surround

speakers,

use

the

LB

(left

back)

and

RB

(right

back)

outputs.

You

will

have

to

reverse

the

polarity

of

the

surround

speakers

with

that

of

the

front

speakers!
