Quick Set-Up Guide
PLEASE NOTE: WHEN USING THE REMOTE TO CONTROL THE ATP 8500 PREAMPLIFIER-PROCESSOR,
YOU MUST FIRST PRESS THE “AVC” BUTTON IN THE UPPER LEFT CORNER OF THE REMOTE CONTROL .
If you just can’t wait and want to get the ATP 8500 up and running as quickly as possible, here’s the quickest way:
Connections
1. Connect your power amp to the outputs (gold plated RCA connectors on upper right side) of the ATP 8500.
The RR & LR outputs are for the additional 7.1 mode. Normally, you’ll just use the first 6 outputs for 5.1 operation.
FYI, the RCA outputs and the XLR outputs can be used at the same time because they have separate driver electronics.
Pin 2 is hot on the XLRs.
2. Connect the composite video output
of your VCR (normally the yellow
colored jack) to the composite video
input #1 (top row, left side).
3. Connect the stereo audio outputs
(red & white) of the VCR to the
analog audio inputs #1
(bottom row, left side).
4. Connect the composite video output
of the ATP 8500 (top row, just to the
right of the 6 video input jacks) to
the composite video input of your TV.
You have two choices: use the output
labeled “Mon OSD” (On Screen
Display) if you want to the see the
menu and status display on your TV.
Use the output jack labeled MON if
you don’t want to see the menu.
Make certain your TV is set to
monitor composite video input.
5. Turn on the rear panel power
switch of the ATP 8500.
6. Turn on the power amp.
7. Press the front panel power switch
of the ATP 8500.
8. Press “play” on the VCR.
9. Press the “Input Search” button
on the front panel of the ATP 8500.
This searches for any incoming signals, and will automatically find the source.
If your VCR or DVD is not in play mode, the input search function will not see
it because there is no incoming program signal.
10.TURN UP THE VOLUME!
