CONNECTIONS
Audio/Video 1 In/Out Connections (Option)
Diagram 14
shows the connection options for an audio/video record/playback device, that requires an in/out loop, that is con-
nected to the M80 Audio/Video 1 IN/OUT Connections. Not all of the connections shown are required for a given setup, but are
shown here for reference.
Note:
All connections in this section with the exception of analog line level audio require configuration in Source Setup to be-
come active. The M80 will default to line level audio and composite video if no changes are made in Source Setup.
Analog Line Level Audio -
Though not shown in
Diagram 14
, the line level audio connections are recommended and are
required for record/playback of analog audio content or if the digital audio connections are not going to be used. Copyright
protection can prevent some digital audio content from being recorded digitally and the M80 does not down-convert digital
audio to analog. The analog line level audio connections can be used as backup in most cases to record/playback analog au-
dio, by selecting the Analog Audio Input, by source, in Source Setup. The analog line level audio IN connection is also required
to playback audio content from the A/V Recorder to the Zone 2 Speakers, Zone 2 OUT or Zone 2 PRE-OUT, if used.

Step 2
is not required for a playback only de-
vice. The composite video connections are also required and must be selected in Source Setup to record composite video
and to playback composite video to the Monitor OUTs or Zone 2 Composite Video out, if used.
S-Video -
S-Video is the highest level video signal that can be both recorded and played back in its native format. Video 1
S-Video OUT will only output S-Video from sources with S-Video input connections that are selected in Source Setup. Other
video signals are not converted to the Video 1 S-Video OUT. The Video 1 S-Video IN will also output at the Zone 2 S-Video OUT.
1.
Using a S-Video patch cable with gold ends, connect the S-Video OUT of the A/V Recorder to the Video 1 S-Video IN on
the M80. Be sure to select S-Video 1 as the Video Input in Source Setup.
2.
Using a S-Video patch cable with gold ends, connect the Video 1 S-Video OUT on the M80 to the appropriate S-Video IN
on the A/V Recorder. (Not required for a playback only device.)
Digital Audio -
Use either the coaxial or optical digital audio connections for a given digital audio record/playback device, do
not connect both. The digital IN/OUTs typically allow record/playback of digital audio content and associated surround en-
coding. Copyright protection can prevent some digital audio content from being recorded digitally, so having the analog line
level audio connections in place for backup is recommended to record the audio content as analog audio. The M80 does not
down-convert digital audio to analog. The analog line level audio IN connection is also required to playback audio content
from the A/V Recorder to the Zone 2 Speakers, Zone 2 OUT or Zone 2 PRE-OUT, if used.
1.
Using either a digital coaxial or optical audio cable, connect the appropriate digital audio OUT of the A/V Recorder to
either Coaxial IN 1 or Optical IN 1 on the M80. (Either coaxial or optical input can be used. Be sure to configure the digital
audio input used in Source Setup.)
2.
Using either a digital coaxial or optical cable, connect the appropriate coaxial or digital audio OUT on the M80 to an ap-
propriate digital coaxial or optical audio IN on the A/V Recorder. (Not required for a playback only device.)
HDMI -
The HDMI (digital audio & video) connections are not required and can only be used to playback HDMI content from
the A/V Recorder, if capable. HDMI content is not down-converted and cannot be recorded. Have the analog line level audio
and either the composite or S-Video connections made for any source that is going to be recorded from the Audio/Video 1
Analog Audio 1 OUT, and composite or S-Video 1 OUT.
1.
Using an HDMI patch cable with gold ends, connect the HDMI OUT of the A/V Recorder to HDMI 1 IN on the M80. (Any
one of the HDMI inputs can be used. Be sure to configure the HDMI input used in the Source Setup.)
Note:
For DVD-Audio HDMI v1.0 or SA-CD HDMI up to v1.1, a separate multichannel analog audio connection from the
device to the M80 Multi Input is required to properly reproduce the DVD-Audio or SA-CD content played on that device.
(See section:
Connections/Multi Input
) Refer to the owners manual for any HDMI device to verify the HDMI version for
that device. On-line updates may be available. The M80 is HDMI v1.3a.
Component Video -
The component video connections are not required and can only be used to playback component video
from the A/V Recorder, if capable. Component video from other sources will be not be down-converted to the Video 1 Com-
posite OUT or Video 1 S-Video OUT for record/playback.
1.
Using a component video patch cable with gold ends, connect the Component Video OUT of the A/V Recorder to Compo-
nent Video IN 1 on the M80. Be sure to properly match the red, (Pr), blue (Pb) and green (Y) connections on both ends.
