Connecting The Power Cable - VINCENT SAV-C2 Manuel D'utilisation

An active subwoofer is generally used in home-cine-
ma systems. Its Line Input can be connected directly to
one of the outputs "S.W1" or "S.W2" in the "ANA-
LOG AUDIO OUTPUT" field (16). An active sub-
woofer has its own built-in amplifier, a passive sub-
woofer does not. You will recognize an active sub-
CONNECTION OF THE VIDEO DISPLAY
The preamplifier has three Video outputs: one
Composite Video (RCA) connection, one S-Video con-
nection and one Component-Video connection. These
are located in the terminal fields at the rear of the
unit, which are labelled "VIDEO OUTPUT" and
"MONITOR OUTPUT" (18). Most display units sup-
porting one of these standards can be used.

Please note that the properties of the video signal output, such as the aspect ratio, picture system
(PAL/NTSC), Scan Mode (Progressive/Interlaced), for example, depend on the settings on the sour-
ce unit. They cannot be influenced at the SAV-C2.
CONNECTION OF A RECORDER
If you want you can use the "REC OUT" RCA socket
(14) on the back of the appliance to connect an ana-
logue stereo recording device (e.g. CD recorder, cas-
sette recorder, video recorder) or another appliance

woofer by the power cord or a power socket on the
back. A passive bass speaker has to be connected to
the speaker terminals of a suitable main amplifier;
this main amplifier's Line Input then needs to be con-
nected to one of the three outputs "S.W1" or "S.W2"
of the SAV-C2.
The connection transmitting the best picture quality
(see Section „Installation") and supporting all the AV-
sources connected to the preamplifier should be selec-
ted. The video display often has to be configured to
the input used; the method for doing so is then descri-
bed in its operating instructions.

Please note that sound fed in at the digital inputs is not output for recordings at the "REC OUT"
analogue output. If the CD-player is connected to one of those digital inputs, for example, CD
signals cannot be recorded via the SAV-C2.
AV-recordings can also be made if the "VIDEO OUTPUT" (18) is fed to the recorder instead of
the video display.
"POWER CONTROL" TRIGGER OUTPUTS
Many AV-systems are made up of a variety of indi-
vidual components. So as not to have to switch
them on and off before and after every use, some
manufacturers have equipped the units with
what is known as a "TRIGGER"-circuit, also called
"POWER CONTROL"(19). This type of remote-
controlled standby circuit is used primarily for
power amplifiers.

Only units that have what is called a "Ready" or "Standby" circuit can support this function.
The trigger signal cannot affect the setting of the mains power switch of the receiving unit.

CONNECTING THE POWER CABLE

Check whether the wall socket provides the appro-
priate mains power, which is the case if it is supplied
with 230 V AC 50 Hz. Push the safety plug on the
are used as connectors. Using this, preamplifiers,
main amplifiers and receivers can electrically
signal switching on and off. All other classes of
device fitted with this connection and having a
Ready or Standby circuit, receive the signal, pass
it on via an identical connector socket and switch
themselves into standby or on again in synchrony
with the transmitting unit. The trigger outputs output
a 12 V direct-current signal. Trigger inputs general-
ly require a voltage of 5 – 12 Volts.
Because most of the units receiving the trigger signal
also have a trigger-signal output, these units need no
more than these two trigger connections. The signal is
spooled sequentially through all the units in this chain
of components. If components in your system support
this circuit, connect them in sequence using the requi-
site cables. If these are not supplied with the compo-
nents, you will obtain them from your audio specialist

the back of the appliance. Plug the other end of the
power cable into a mains wall outlet.
