4.3.3 COMPONENT VIDEO
The Component Video signal is split into three parts and transmitted over three coaxial cables with RCA
connectors. This format produces the highest video quality. Only some TV Monitors, Projectors, DVD Players,
and most HDTV Decoders utilize Component Video. The AVM 2 has two preassigned Component Video
inputs, one for DISC1 and one for SAT. Note that all 3-wire connections must be made (Y, PR/Cr, PB/Cb).
Component-In and Component-Out are compatible with HDTV and all other 3-wire component video formats.

I.R. (INFRA RED) RECEIVERS
External IR repeaters allow the Remote Control to be used from other locations in
your home. Once a repeater is wired to a selected room, it can be connected to
one of the AVM 2’s I.R. RECEIVER inputs with 3.5mm mono mini plugs via a ‘data
box’. This eliminates the need for what is commonly known as a ‘flasher’ for the
AVM 2. ‘Flashers’ may still be required for other components not equipped with
IR Receiver Inputs.

RELAY TRIGGERS
If your other components have provisions for a triggered power-on, you can
automatically turn them on with a push of a button on the AVM 2 Front Panel or
Remote Control. Connect a trigger output from the AVM 2 to the trigger input of
your power amplifier, TV Monitor, etc., using a cable with 3.5mm mono mini plugs.
Note:
Trigger3 is designed to provide the extra cur rent (up to 200 mA) required by
relays in larger projectors and motorized screens. Depending on the equipment, a
larger gauge of wire may be required (consult your dealer for assistance).
The AVM 2 provides flexible trigger options. From the factory, all the triggers are
disabled. Through the Setup Menu, the conditions for enabling triggers can be specified (see section 7.4.8).
4.6
FM/AM ANTENNAS
To connect the FM antenna, first connect the two antenna wires to the
screw terminals of the 300-ohm to 75-ohm adapter. Then connect the
adapter to the FM ANTENNA-IN on the AVM 2. If your local cable company
provides FM service, connect the cable directly to this input instead of using
the adapter.
To connect the AM loop antenna, press the spring-loaded tabs of the AM
ANTENNA-IN connector, insert the bare ends of the wire from the loop
antenna and release the tabs.
Once both antennas are connected, move each of them around until best
reception is found. For the FM antenna, this will usually be in a “T” form a t i o n .
