For analog audio sources, connect theleft and right outputs of your source com-ponents to the inputs on ,the Audio +Video Standard. The Addio + VideoStandard is equipped with six single-ended analog audio inputs ($1-$5 andtape) via RCA connectors and one bal-anced analog audio input (B1) via XLR connector.
2. For digital audio sources, connect thedigital audio output of your source com-ponents to the digital inputs on the Audio +Video Standard. The Audio + VideoStandard is equipped with five digitalinputs: two coaxial inputs via RCA con-nectors, two TosLinkTM optical connec-tions, and one AES/EBU via an XLRconnector. For Dolby Digital (AC-3) sur-round processing, connect the RF outputof a laser disc player to one of the RFinputs.
NoteFor source units that are equipped with bothdigital and analog audio outputs, higher per-formance will generally result when connect-ing source units to the Audio + Video Standardusing a digital audio output.
Connect the video outputs of your videosources to the video inputs on the Audio+ Video Standard.
The Audio + Video Standard is equippedwith four S-video inputs and four compositevideo inputs. S-video cables transmit thecolor and luminance components of thevideo signal separately. This separation isperformed by the comb filter within thesource unit. If the source unit’s comb filter issuperior to the one within the video monitor,S-video connections should be used.Otherwise, a composite video connectionshould be used.
NotesS-video cables should not be used forlengths greater than 20 feet, for optimumperformance.
The Audio + Video Standard does not con-vert video signal formats, Le., an S-videoinput signal is output as an S-video signalThe same condition holds true for a com-posite video signal
The Audio + Video Standard is equippedwith three S-video outputs and three com-posite video outputs. The main S-video out-put (28) and composite video output (35)include on-screen graphics. The compositevideo 1 output also has a parallel BNC con-nector. For dubbing purposes, the secondand third video outputs do not include on-screen graphics. These outputs may be con-nected to the video inputs of your videorecorders or to:additional video monitors.
