Power Wiring
Like many of today’s intelligent home electronics, the Concert AVR-7 /
AVR-9 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 Concert AVR-7 / AVR-9 is in standby. We always recom-
mend 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 Concert AVR-7 / AVR-9 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.
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
Concert AVR-7 / AVR-9 SAT input is optical. Refer to the input configu-
ration section on page
22
for more information regarding assigning a digital
input to the optical or coaxial connection.
Video Connections
The Concert AVR-7 / AVR-9 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.
