Connecting an Amplifier (MAIN ZONE)
This configuration shows the MAIN ZONE connections to a multi-channel amplifier. You may use
single ended RCA audio cables or the preferred balanced XLR audio connections. The advantage of
the XLR balanced connections is that they have a much higher rejection to any radiated noise from
AC line cord interference. Also note the connection of the 12 VDC trigger to turn the amplifier on.
In this configuration the DMC-1 is connected to 5 channels of amplification via balanced XLR
connections. The sixth output would connect to the input of a powered subwoofer. If using more
than one subwoofer, use the pass through output on one subwoofer to route the input signal to
the additional subwoofer(s). If you choose to connect the remaining two connections (LEFT and
RIGHT SURROUND BACK) you will need a 7 channel amplifier like the one shown here - the Emotiva
MPS-1 - and you must enable the channels through the SPEAKER SIZE menu of the DMC-1 remote
control.
