2.1.2.5 Analog-only sources:
For analog sources with balanced (XLR) connections (high quality D/A converters, like the Classé DAC-1),
use
AUD1
. For RCA connections, use
AUD2
, and/or
AUD3
– (
AUD1
can be used for unbalanced inputs
(RCA) if a connector which changes XLR to RCA is used and pin 3 is shorted to pin 1 on the XLR).
There is one analog audio record output. In most systems the audio output, and its associated video
output, would be sent to a VCR. (The
SSP-25
has no digital outputs.)
2.1.3
Video Source Component Connections
2.1.3.1 Video Input Selections:
Connect video sources to the
SSP-25
video inputs. Consider the nature of a source’s
audio
output when
deciding which AV input to use. For example:
If a video source (a laser disc player, for example) has a Toslink (optical) digital audio output, you might
choose the
SSP-25
’s
AV4
video input since one of
AV4
’s digital audio input is Toslink.
If the video source (a DVD player, satellite receiver, etc.) has a coaxial (RCA) digital audio output, connect
the source’s video output to the SSP’s
AV1
,
AV2
,
AV3
, or
AV4
inputs since these inputs have coax digital
audio inputs.
If the video source (a VCR, for example) has only analog outputs, connect the video to
AV1
,
AV2
,
AV3
, or
AV4
since these also have AV analog inputs. As above, refer to
Section 5.8
for details.
2.1.3.2
Video
Outputs
Connect the Main Video outputs to the primary monitor/projector.
Connect the
SSP-25
’s Record output to a VCR record input. You may also utilize the record output to
send the audio and video signal to a remote area for viewing or for listening. There is both an S-Video
output and a composite video output. The audio output is at “line level”, and will require a preamplifier at
the remote location if it is used for this purpose. (Record out is the same signal as main out).
2.1.3.1 Composite vs. S-Video:
Video sources connected to any composite input can be directed to composite outputs only. Likewise, an
S-Video source is available only at S-Video outputs. Thus, the simplest approach to system design would
use composite connections only. If this “composite only” strategy is appropriate, skip the rest of this
Section. If you will use S-Video connections, continue reading . . .
If the system monitor/projector accepts only composite video, use the
SSP-25
’s composite inputs and
outputs only. Ignore all S-Video connections.
