Concert XR series
Don’t worry if your satellite receiver has a coaxial digital output and the
Concert XR series SAT input is optical. Refer to the input configuration section
on page 22 for more information regarding assigning a digital input to the
optical or coaxial connection.
Video Connections
The Concert XR series is equipped with seven discrete HDMI inputs labeled
STB GAME, AV, SAT, BD, UHD, 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. This output is
eARC enabled and includes CEC functions which can be turned on and off via
the HDMI menu.
Alt Output - Connect this to your secondary display device.
Zone 2 - Connect this to your display and system used in the second zone.
(Not available with the XR-4)
eARC (Audio Return Channel)
Connect the main HDMI output to an HDMI 1.4 or higher display device ARC-
enabled or eARC input to receive the audio signals from the sources connected
directly to the display. The ARC source selection on your Concert XR series is
labeled Display. From the Display Input Menu in the AVR, set CEC Control to
On for your chosen ouput and enable the ARC Control to receive the audio
from the display.
IR (Infra-red) Remote Control Connections
The Concert XR series has two rear-panel Infrared (IR) inputs to allow for
maximum control flexibility with standard IR remote controls. This allows you
to place an external infrared receiver where it can “see” the signal from the
remote control when the main equipment may be hidden. The IR connections
are designed for “modulated” signals and wired for stereo or mono 3.5 mm
jacks with “Tip” being the modulated signal and “Sleeve” being ground.
Zone 1 IR - This is ideal to use when the front panel of the Concert XR series is
hidden away in some dark closet or equipment rack. To prevent the possibility
of receiving multiple commands, when you connect an IR receiver to this
input, it will disable the front panel IR receiver.
Zone 2 IR - Allows for control of source and volume functions of Zone 2
