2. CONNECTIONS 2.1 VIDEO CONNECTIONS The best choice for video connection depends on your display(s) and source components. Any video input can be assigned to any number of Sources. To configure inputs, see section 3.5 and to configure video outputs see section 3.8. Composite Video (analog): This traditional format combines the black/white and color information for transmission on a single coaxial cable. To be displayed, it has to be comb-filtered apart, a process that degrades video quality sub

2. CONNECTIONS continued … 2.2 AUDIO CONNECTIONS There are two methods of transmitting audio signals: Analog and Digital. Analog is an electrical waveform representation of sound and requires one cable for each channel. Digital represents sound using a sequence of numbers and requires only one cable for all channels. Any input can be changed from the factory setting to either Digital or Analog audio connection. Furthermore, any one set to analog can be used with Digital Signal Processing for bas

2. CONNECTIONS continued … Analog Audio Outputs: Balanced connection offers the highest transmission quality over long cable lengths, because it rejects noise and hum pickup. In the AVM 50, XLR output voltage is twice that of RCA (6 dB higher). The RCA outputs and the XLR outputs are active at the same time. Parallel outputs are provided for a second center channel speaker and/or subwoofer. If your screen is large, you might want to use one speaker above it and another one below it. One way to t

Move the antenna until best reception is found. To connect the FM antenna, connect the two wires to the screw terminals of the 75-ohm to 300-ohm adapter, then connect the adapter to the FM ANTENNA connector. Move the antenna until best reception is found – this is usually a “T” formation. If your cable company provides
