AUDIO INPUT CONNECTIONS
The HDMI connection carries both audio and video, although it is possible on the B&K product to
only output one or the other (please see the menu structure for further information). To connect an
HDMI audio source to the B&K, connect the HDMI cable to the HDMI output on the source piece.
Then connect the other end of the cable into the corresponding HDMI input on the preamplifier.
Multichannel PCM over HDMI is supposed by selecting the DVD-A function on the remote. Shown is
an HDMI output on the source piece going into Input 9 on the B&K.
Audio Input Connection - HDMI
The B&K surround preamplifier provides eight optical audio inputs. These inputs can be used to send
an optical audio signal from a source piece to the B&K. Connect the optical audio output on the
source piece using an optical cable to the optical audio input on the B&K. Shown is an optical audio
source going into the optical audio input on Input 1.The order of audio signal precedence per each
input is Optical Digital -> Coax Digital -> Stereo Analog.
Audio Input Connection - Optical
The B&K surround preamplifier provides eight coax digital audio inputs. These inputs can be used to
send a coax digital audio signal from a source piece to the B&K. Connect the coax digital audio out-
put on the source piece using an RCA cable to the coax digital audio input on the B&K. Shown is a
coax digital audio source going into the coax digital audio input on Input 1.The order of audio signal
precedence per each input is Optical Digital -> Coax Digital -> Stereo Analog.
Audio Input Connection - Coax Digital
The B&K surround preamplifier provides eight pairs of stereo analog audio inputs. These inputs can
be used to send a stereo analog audio signal from a source piece to the B&K. Connect the stereo
analog audio output on the source piece using a RCA cable to the analog stereo audio input on the
B&K. Shown is a stereo analog audio source going into the stereo analog audio input on Input 1.The
order of audio signal precedence per each input is Optical Digital -> Coax Digital -> Stereo Analog.

The Multichannel Analog input carries either a 5.1 or 7.1 analog signal from a source piece such as
a Blu-Ray player, SACD player, DVD-Audio player, etc. The RCA connection from the source piece
would be connected to analog inputs 5 through 9 as described on the back panel of the unit. The
input is assignable to be either a 5.1 or 7.1 input. The Multichannel Analog input can be assigned to
any source input 1 through 9 (the Multichannel Analog input can be assigned to inputs 9 through 14
but can only be changed in the menu and not through the remote, RS-232 or Ethernet function).
