4.1 CONNECTING POWER TO THE AVM 2
Connect the power cord to the back of the AVM 2 and then to an AC outlet with a line voltage of between 105
and 130 Volts, 60 Hz.
When turned on, the AVM 2 will have all of the same settings it had when it was last turned off, except for
Volume, which comes on at the pre-programmed setting (see section 7.4.6).
4.2 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. We recommend using digital connections wherever
possible because they have lower background noise and provide better quality than analog connections
when both formats are available. Connecting a DVD player or CD player to both the digital and analog
connectors allows listening to an analog source in ZONE2 and REC, while listening to a digital source in MAIN.
The AVM 2 accepts either analog or digital audio signals in all inputs except DIRECT, which accepts analog
audio signals only. From the factory, DISC1, DISC2 and SAT inputs are set to Digital, whereas the TAPE, TV,
VCR, and AUX inputs are set to Analog. Every audio input, except DIRECT, can be changed from the factory
setting to either Digital or Analog (see section 7.4.2).
4.2.1 DIGITAL AUDIO INPUTS / DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT
Digital Audio input connections are made through a 75-ohm coaxial (RCA), optical (TOS), or 110-ohm balanced
(XLR) cable. DVD Players and CD Tr a n s p o rts are generally connected using a coaxial cable with RCA connectors.
Note: The DIGITAL REC OUT (RCA-S/PDIF) only functions with Digital Audio Input Sources (e.g. DISC1,
DISC2, or any other input source that you have set to ‘digital’, see section 7.4.2).
Note: This is also part of the independent REC Path (see Section 5.3).
4.2.2 ANALOG AUDIO INPUTS
Analog audio connections are made with RCA interconnect cables. Note: REC and ZONE2 require analog
audio connection unless set to ‘copy’ MAIN (see section 5.5.1).

4. CONNECTIONS
The highest transmission quality is
achieved with the balanced XLR (AES/EBU)
connection. The AVM 2 provides one such
connection which may be assigned to any
Input Source, except Direct (see section 7.4.2).
The RCA (S/PDIF) connection offers the next best digital
transmission. Use these for source components with
digital RCA outputs. NOTE: An external RF demodulator
is required to interface Dolby Digital/AC-3 signals from a
Laser Disk player to the AVM 2.
To the Digital Audio IN of a Digital Recorder
(e.g. Mini Disk, CD-R, etc.)
For source components with optical TOSLINK
outputs only, use these TOSLINK connections.
These may also be assigned to any Input
Source, except Direct (see section 7.4.2).

Caution for DTS:
With DTS-CD’s or DTS Laser Disks,
do not use analog connection if your
Player does not have an internal DTS
decoder, because a loud noise is
produced at the analog outputs of
the Player. Players with an internal
DTS decoder may require a change
in their setup menu to enable DTS
decoding (see Player owner’s manual).
