Connecting The Power Cable - VINCENT SAV-C1 Manuel D'utilisation

An active subwoofer is generally used in home-cine-
ma systems. Its Line Input can be connected directly to
the three outputs "S.W", "S.W1" or "S.W2" in the
"ANALOG AUDIO OUTPUT" field (17). An active
subwoofer has its own built-in amplifier, a passive
subwoofer does not. You will recognize an active sub-
woofer by the power cord or a power socket on the
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" (19). Most
display units supporting one of these standards can
be used. The connection transmitting the best picture

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-C1.
CONNECTION OF A RECORDER
If you want you can use the "REC OUT" RCA socket
(15) 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
that is intended for receiving the unchanged, fixed ste-

the speaker terminals of a suitable main amplifier;

the AV-sources connected to the preamplifier should
be selected. The video display often has to be confi-
gured to the input used; the method for doing so is
then described in its operating instructions.

Please note that sound fed in at the digital inputs or the "XLR/AV4" input is not output for recor-
dings at the "REC OUT" analogue output. If the CD-player is connected to the XLR-input (13) for
example, CD signals cannot be recorded via the SAV-C1.
AV-recordings can also be made if the "VIDEO OUTPUT" (19) is fed to the recorder instead of the
video display.
"POWER CONTROL" TRIGGER OUTPUTS
Many AV-systems are made up of a variety of indivi-
dual components. So as not to have to switch them on
and off before and after every use, some manufactu-
rers have equipped the units with what is known as a
"TRIGGER"-circuit, also called "POWER CONTROL".
This type of remote-controlled standby circuit is used
primarily for power amplifiers.
To this end, the units are interconnected by a dual
cable. Mono-3.5 mm jack plugs and their sockets are

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.
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

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
ching 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 generally require a voltage of 5 – 12
Volts.

site cables. If these are not supplied with the compo-
nents, you will obtain them from your audio specialist
dealer.
power cable supplied firmly into the power socket on
the back of the appliance. Plug the other end of the
power cable into a mains wall outlet.
