MAESTRO M9
Power Wiring
Like many of today’s intelligent home electronics, the Maestro M9 should
be plugged into an unswitched AC outlet so that it always has power. This
allows the RS-232 and remote control features to work even when the
Maestro M9 is in standby. We always recommend the use of a high quality
surge protection device to keep all of your electronics safe from the evils of
spikes on power systems.
Audio Connections
The Maestro M9 has 6 line-level analog audio stereo input RCA pairs,
labeled STB, AV, GAME, BD, PVR, and CD. The input circuits are all
identical, so you can connect any line-level analog audio source to any of
these inputs. The CD and BD connections also have balanced XLR inputs.
Use these if your source components have balanced outputs.
There are 4 coaxial digital audio inputs, labeled SAT, BD, PVR, and CD,
and 2 optical digital audio inputs, labeled STB and AV.
There are seven HDMI inputs, each capable of receiving digital audio and
video from your sources. But some sources may not offer quality (or any)
digital audio through the HDMI connection. In these cases, you can also
connect the digital audio in addition to HDMI. This will provide the digital
audio signal necessary for high-quality digital surround sound.
Don’t worry if your satellite receiver has a coaxial digital output and the
Maestro M9 SAT input is optical. Refer to the input configuration section
on page
22
for more information regarding assigning a digital input to the
optical or coaxial connection.
Video Connections
The Maestro M9 is equipped with seven discrete HDMI inputs labeled
STB/MHL, GAME, AV, SAT, BD, VCR, and PVR. There are two
assignable HDMI outputs and one Zone 2 HDMI output that is
independent of the main room HDMI outputs. All the HDMI outputs are
assignable to various display devices, the signals on both will be the same.
Main Output -
Connect this to the primary display device located in your
main theater - such as a projector or other primary display device.
Alt Output -
Connect this to your secondary display device.
Zone 2 -
Connect this to your display and system used in the second zone.
