Caution for DTS: With DTS-CDs or DTS Laser Discs, do not use analog connection if your player does
not have the DTS logo on its faceplate, otherwise a loud noise will be produced at the analog outputs of
the player. Players that have the DTS logo can pass a DTS-encoded signal through their digital outputs,
but may still require a setup change to enable it (see player owner’s manual).
4.2.3 2-Ch BALANCED AND 6-Ch SINGLE-ENDED (S/E) ANALOG AUDIO INPUTS
DVD-Audio (DVD-A) and Super Audio CD (SACD) players do not currently have digital outputs for the DVD-A
and SACD information. The 6-Ch S/E input is intended for DVD-Audio and multichannel SACD players, but if
unused for this purpose, the Front-Left and Front-Right inputs can be used as a 2-channel input.
Note: When 6-Ch S/E is selected as the Source, the video signal from the DVD input will be routed to
the video outputs – connect DVD-A player video output to the DVD input (sections 4.3 and 7.4.2).
The 2-Ch BAL and 6-Ch S/E inputs can be set to either bypass all digital stages in the AVM 20 or to include
digital stages, so that bass management, time alignment, bass/treble control, surround modes, and THX post-
processing can be enabled (see sections 5.7, 5.8, 7.4.2, and 7.4.5).
4.2.4 ANALOG AUDIO OUTPUTS
Balanced XLR connection offers the highest transmission quality, especially over long cable lengths where
noise or hum pickup can occur – if your amplifier (or combination of amplifiers) has XLR inputs, use the
balanced outputs. Use the Single-Ended RCA outputs if your amplifier does not have balanced XLR inputs.
The Single-Ended and Balanced outputs simultaneously provide the same audio output signal and level,
allowing the use of multiple amplifiers with different input type. For example, the Balanced FRONT-L, FRONT-R,
CENTER1, SUR-L, and SUR-R outputs can be connected to a 5-channel amplifier with balanced inputs while
the Single-Ended REAR-L and REAR-R outputs are connected to a 2-channel single-ended amplifier.
The AVM 20 also provides parallel outputs for a second Center channel and/or Subwoofer. If the Balanced
SUB2 and CENTER2 outputs are not being used for this purpose, they can be re-configured to act as
Balanced outputs for ZONE2 to ensure lower noise pickup for longer cable runs (see sections 5.2 and 7.4.3).
The Analog Audio RECORD outputs for your tape recorder and VCR are shown below, together with the
outputs for ZONE2 and ZONE3 amplifiers:
