Audio connections
n
Wherever possible, connect both the analogue and digital outputs of digital sources. This enables
use of a digital input for the main zone and the corresponding analogue input for recording onto
an analogue tape deck or VCR, and for the Zone 2 output if used.
n
Take care to place the audio cables as far from any power supply cabling as is practically possible
to reduce hum and other noise problems.

Connection of record decks:
The AVR250 is not  tted with a phono pre-ampli er. If you wish to connect a record deck
to the AVR250, then you will need an external pre-ampli er. Please contact your dealer for
further information and recommendations on the best option for your system.

Connect the audio outputs of your DVD-Audio or SACD player to these input sockets.

LS BACK.
These are available for formats requiring eight channels. Currently no formats are available
requiring these connections, which are provided for future compatibility.
The multi-channel input is intended for use with sources that decode the surround channels
internally, such as DVD-A or SACD players.
The AVR250 switches these analogue inputs directly to the analogue outputs via its own volume
control circuit. This direct path maintains the best possible sound quality for DVD-A and SACD
sources; it has the side-effect that there is no bass-management for DVD-A or SACD players. In
this case, the bass-management functionality of the player itself should be used.

Connect the left and right audio outputs sockets to the left and right input sockets of your cassette
deck, VCR or PVR (usually labelled ‘RECORD IN’). The VCR/PVR connections may also be used for a
second or third cassette deck.

TAPE.
Connect the digital ouputs of your available source equipment to these inputs.
If required, each of these six digital inputs can be allocated to a different audio input from that
indicated by the input label, through the ‘Digital Settings’ page of the Set-up menu. This means
that, for example, if you wish to use an optical connection for your DVD player, the optical
connection for the SAT, PVR, or TAPE can be used and the audio from that digital input assigned to
the DVD button.
OUTPUTS
bt ck
DIGITAL OUT.
Two digital output connections are available: optical and coaxial. The two connections carry the
same information at all times and both may be used simultaneously. Connect the digital outputs to your
digital recording devices such as a CD-R, digital VCR or MiniDisc player.
When a digital source is selected, the digital output will send an exact copy of the incoming digital
signal. For example, for a 5.1 digital source, the digital output will also be in 5.1 format.
When an analogue source is selected, the digital output will be muted.
