5.1 Analog Inputs
The 5.1 Analog Input jacks are designed to accept up to six channels of processed analog
output from a DVD player or other component with discrete outputs. Connect the six discrete
outputs of your source component to the corresponding 5.1 Analog Input jacks of the AVC-
2500. Note: You will need an optional module to control volume from the 5.1 analog inputs.
Othewise, you should use the volume control on your DVD player if so equipped.
Audio Only Record Output Connections
The audio signal from the source you selected for the main zone is routed to both pairs of
Record Output connectors. Connect the left and right play/output of your tape deck to the
left and right of any of the AVC-2500’s Audio 1-Audio 6 input connectors. Next, connect the
left and right audio record/input connectors of your tape deck to either pair of Left and Right
channel Record Output connectors of your AVC-2500.
Front Left and Right Channel Outputs
Connect the Left and Right Front channel outputs of your AVC-2500 to either the inputs of
a two channel amplifier or to two channels of a multi-channel amplifier that are then connected
to your main front left and right (L, R) speakers.
Center Channel Output
Connect the Center channel output of your AVC-2500 to the input of a mono amplifier or to
the channel of the multi-channel amplifier that is connected to your center (C) speaker.
Left and Right Surround Channel Outputs
Connect the Left and Right Surround output jacks of your AVC-2500 to the inputs of the two
channel amplifier or to two channels of a multi-channel amplifier that are connected to your
left and right surround (LS, RS) speakers.
Subwoofer Output Connections
Two Subwoofer output jacks are provided for your convenience if you have two subwoofers.
For passive subwoofers without built-in amplifiers, connect the Left and/or Right Sub outputs
of your AVC-2500 to the input(s) of the amplifier channel(s) that are connected to your
passive subwoofer(s). For powered subwoofers with built-in amplifiers, connect the Left
and Right Sub outputs of your AVC-2500 to the left and right line inputs of your subwoofer.
If your subwoofer has only one input jack, you can use either the Left or Right outputs of the
AVC-2500 since both send the same monaural information. We recommend that you switch
off the crossover on your subwoofer amp and use the 24 dB per octave low pass filter of the
AVC-2500. If your sub doesn’t have a bypass switch for its crossover, adjust it to the highest
frequency setting.
AC Line Cord Connection
The rear panel mounted IEC standard AC receptacle accepts the AC cord supplied with your
AVC-2500. We recommend the use of an AC line filter to protect the AVC-2500 against
potentially damaging line surges and voltage fluctuations. Plug the female end of the AC
cord firmly into the rear mounted AC receptacle and make sure that it is properly seated,
then connect the male end to an uninterrupted AC power line.
Main External Remote Control
The Main External IR allows for remote control operation via a wired infrared repeater
system or system controller when infrared commands cannot directly reach the front panel
infrared receiver. The input connector accepts a standard 1/8-inch (3.5 mm) two conductor
mini plug. The tip is positive and the sleeve is negative. Your Authorized Parasound Dealer
or Custom Installer can recommend a compatible infrared repeater system for the AVC-
2500. Connect the output of an infrared repeater system to the Main IR input.
