Rear panel facilities and connections
Note:
• When using this balanced connection for a specific
channel between the AV controller and RDA-7.1, set
the INPUT SELECT switch to the XLR input side to
select balanced input. Next, use balanced cables and
connect the balanced output from the AV controller to
the corresponding balanced input on the RDA-7.1.
• Do not connect anything to the RCA-type audio input
jack.
Unbalanced Input (single end RCA
input)
Connect AV controllers or pre amplifiers with single-
ended outputs for high-quality sound.
Note:
• When using this single-ended connection for a
specific channel between the AV controller and
RDA-7.1, set the INPUT SELECT switch to the RCA
input side to select unbalanced input. Next, use RCA
cables and connect the single-ended output from the
AV controller to the corresponding single-ended
input on the RDA-7.1.
• Do not connect anything to the balanced input jack.
INPUT SELECT /
This switch is located between the balanced input and
single-ended RCA input for each channel. Use this switch
to select the input type for its channel.
Precaution for connection
This unit comprises 7 independent power amplifiers, each
being capable of reproducing the same quality sound
through its channel. Note that you should connect an input
source and a speaker to each channel in use. For channels
that are not in use, we recommend that you do not connect
any input source or speaker.
Balanced Input (XLR terminal)
Connect AV controllers or pre amplifiers with balanced
outputs for high-quality sound.
The pin assignments for this terminal are given above. This
pin assignment conforms to the standard adopted by the
Audio Engineering Society. Refer to the instruction manual
supplied with the AV controller and verify that its output
terminal is compatible with the pin assignments for this
terminal. If it does not, wire it so that the output pins
connect with the proper input pins.
