You will need a source of audio-visual signals such as a DVD
player to feed into your 8000AP
CD Players and standard DVD players should be connected
via the Digital SPDIF inputs (optical or co-axial). You will need
a single RCA digital cable for co-axial inputs or a TOSLink
optical cable for optical connections.
Tuners and other analogue sources should be connected via
a screened stereo RCA phono interconnect to the Analogue
stereo inputs.
HDMI enabled DVD players may be connected to the HDMI
input for audio and video signals via an HDMI cable - for
optimum sinal transmission this cable should be as short as
practicable.
The TV screen may be connected to the 8000AP via the HDMI
out socket. This will route video signals from the HDMI player
to the TV with minimal processing from the 8000AP. Again
keep the HDMI interconnect as short as possible.
A composite input on the TV screen may be connected to the
OSD socket on the 8000AP via a single RCA phono lead. This
is solely for the purpose of viewing the setup menu of the
800AP on the TV screen.
Finally connect the line outputs of the 8000AP to the power
amplifier (and subwoofer). You can connect any amplifier
from regular 2 channel stereo to a full 7 channel system. All
interconnects are RCA phono.
The connection diagram on this page shows a typical 7.1AV
system connected to source and amplification components.
If you are using a screen resolution of1080p ensure that
the input and output cables are HDMI approved - consult
your dealer for advice.
Always ensure that all components in your AV system are
switched off and disconnected from the mains supply
before making or changing any connections.
