System Configuration Examples
The most common configurations using the Radiance are shown below.
1. Receiver after Radiance.
Placing the AVR and display after the Radiance is the default configuration. Connect your AVR to Radiance HDIM
Out 1, your display/projector to Radiance HDMI Out 2, connect your video sources, and then power everything on.
The Radiance automatically detects and selects the appropriate audio and video modes.
This configuration can improve switching delays using the Radiance’s fast input switching, and guarantees the
video is not degraded by the AVR. It also minimizes the work needed to configure the Radiance since, for output 2,
audio is turned off by default. Note, some amplifiers do not accept audio for non-standard video rates, such as
768p, or at any rate above 720p/1080i, and some amplifiers will not report EDID back to the Radiance unless the
amplifier’s HDMI output is turned off, or is driving a display. If you connect the Radiance coax audio output to a
receiver, you can use HDMI audio or coax/SPIDF audio input from the video source but you need to change the
Radiance Audio EDID to one of the “USER” modes in the main audio menu. See the
Audio
section of this manual
for more information.
2. Audio and Video routed separately.
Connect the display to Radiance HDMI Output 2. This output has its audio turned off by default and so is correct
by default for this case.
3. Receiver in front of Radiance.
Connect the display to Radiance HDMI Output 2. This output has its audio turned off by default and so is correct
by default for this case.
