Multi-Channel Analog Audio
Audiophile surround recording formats such as SACD and DVD-A decode
the multi-channel signals directly within the Blu-Ray or DVD player. The
Concert AVR-1 features an eight channel direct-analog input for these
sources. These inputs bypass the digital circuitry in the Concert AVR-1
and are routed directly to the Main Amplifier outputs via an independent
volume control circuit. This ensures the highest possible audio quality for
this input.
Video Connections
Choosing your video
There are four video signal connection formats ranging from Good to Best;
Composite, S-Video, Component Video and HDMI digital video. Depend-
ing on the particular source unit you are using, you may have the option
of more than one of these video connections. Whenever pos-
sible
connect as many as possible
as the processor in your Concert
AVR-1 will identify the best format and route that to your main
HDMI, component or composite video outputs. Because of the
higher bandwidths involved with video signals, the quality of
the interconnect cables you choose is important especially with
HDMI. Video connections should always be made with cables
specifically designed for video. Don’t be tempted to grab some
extra audio RCA cables lying around. Without the proper 75
ohm cabling, your picture quality will suffer from smear, ghosting
or noise. It is always a good idea to make certain that the video
and audio signal cables are routed away from any power wiring.
Video Transcoding
To simplify your installations, the Concert AVR-1 provides video transcod-
ing which routes the S-video, Composite signals, and Component video
signals to the HDMI outputs of your Concert AVR-1. As we mentioned
before it is best to connect all analogue and digital audio/video signals form
your source units to your Concert AVR-1 to allow proper use of the Main,
Secondary, and third zones.
