INSTALLATION
Optical digital connection (Toslink) for
audio signals
This digital connection is
used on many hi-fi and
AV components processing digital sound and is
suitable for two and multi-channel audio transmis-
sion and therefore also PCM (digitally sampled ste-
reo signals), Dolby Digital and DTS bit streams.
The different digital signal formats transmitted by
optical conducting cable are the same as those of
the coaxial digital connection. Connections are
generally labelled "OPTICAL" or "DIGITAL
IN/OUT".
One analogue stereo sound connector (with RCA sockets) and one of the four digital sound con-
nectors (OPT, CO1, CO2, CO3) is provided for each of the SAV-C2 inputs "CD/AV1",
"DVD/AV2", "SAT/AUX1" and "D-TV/AUX2". For each of these inputs therefore you can choo-
se to use an analogue or a digital sound connector. Which of the four digital sound connectors
is allocated to which SAV-C2 input can be freely programmed using the DIN SET (22) function.
See section "Operating the Unit": DIN SET (22) key. Only one optical digital sound input is pro-
vided, which can be allocated to only one of the four preamplifier inputs mentioned above.

Coaxial digital connection for audio signals
This digital connection is likewise suitable for dual
and multi-channel audio transmission and therefo-
re also PCM (digitally sampled stereo signals),
Dolby Digital and DTS bit streams. CD and DVD
players, as well as digital TV receivers often have
this connection. The signal format transmitted is
equivalent to that of the optical digital connection.
The connections comprise 75Ω coaxial cables fit-
ted with RCA plugs (RCA). The stereophonic quali-
ty of the signal transmitted depends on the quality
of the cable used. Connections are generally label-
led "COAXIAL" or "DIGITAL IN/OUT".
FOR SPECIAL ATTENTION
Remove plastic protective covers
Prior to the first installation the
1
protective plastic cap must be
removed from all the connections
used at the rear of the unit.

Connections
Mechanically identical RCA plugs are available
for inputs and outputs as well as for analogue and
digital connections.
Make sure that you do not
get these connections confused during installation!
Connection quality
Make sure that all plugs fit tightly. Inadequate con-
nections can cause noise interference, failures and
malfunctions.

CONNECTION OF THE SOURCE UNITS
In selecting which source unit to connect to which
selectable input on the preamplifier, it helps to con-
sider the connection standards available for the
preamplifier inputs. Digital sound connection is
only possible for the "CD/AV1", "DVD/AV2",
"SAT/AUX1" and "D-TV/AUX2" inputs. By
using RCA connections, analogue stereo sound
can be used on all inputs of the preamplifier except
RCA Connection
Make sure that you do not mix up the analogue
2
inputs for right and left. The RCA plugs for these
are colour coded as follows:
red for the right channel, black
OU
or white for the left channel.
Optical Connection
The dust cap protecting the optical digital input
should only be removed if a
cable is inserted. After a con-
nection is removed from this
input, the cap should be replaced.
Cable Connetions
To exploit the acoustic potential of the components
fully, only high-grade speaker and connection
cables, such as Vincent cables should be used.
Give preference to screened audio cables. Your
audio specialist dealer will be pleased to advise
you with this.
"6.1CHANNEL" and "LINE/AV4". All inputs
can accept Composite video signals; the
"DVD/AV2" and "D-TV/AUX2" inputs are the
only ones designed for Component and S-Video
connection. The following table shows which con-
nection standards for sound and picture can be
used for the different SAV-C2 inputs.
