4.2.3 2-Ch BALANCED AND 6-Ch SINGLE-ENDED (S/E) ANALOG AUDIO INPUTS
The 6-Ch S/E input is intended primarily for DVD-Audio and multichannel SACD players. If unused for this
purpose, the Front-Left and Front-Right connections can be used as an additional 2-channel input.
Note: When 6-Ch S/E is selected as the Source, the video signal from the DVD input will be routed to
the video outputs – connect your player’s video output to the DVD input (sections 4.3 and 7.4.5).
The 2-Ch BAL and 6-Ch S/E inputs can be set to either bypass all digital stages in the AVM 30 or to include
digital stages, so that bass management, time alignment, surround modes, lip-sync delay, bass/treble
control, and THX post-processing can be enabled (see sections 5.7, 5.8, 7.4.2, and 7.4.5).
4.2.4 ANALOG AUDIO OUTPUTS
Balanced XLR connection offers the highest transmission quality, particularly over long cable lengths,
because it rejects noise and hum pickup. In the AVM 30, XLR output voltage is twice that of RCA output
voltage (or 6 dB higher). If your amplifier does not have balanced inputs, use Single-Ended RCA connection.
The AVM 30 also provides parallel outputs for a second Center channel and/or Subwoofer. If the Balanced
SUB2 and CENTER2 outputs are not being used for this purpose, they can be re-configured to act as
Balanced outputs for ZONE2 to ensure lower noise with longer cable runs (see sections 5.2 and 7.4.7).
If you’re using one Rear channel, use the Rear-L output for it (see section 7.4.2).
The Analog Audio RECORD outputs for your tape recorder and VCR are shown below, together with the
outputs for ZONE2 and ZONE3 amplifiers:
