Analog Audio Outputs:
Balanced connection offers the highest transmission quality over long cable lengths, because it rejects
noise and hum pickup. In the AVM 30, XLR output voltage is twice that of RCA (6 dB higher). The RCA outputs
and the XLR outputs are active at the same time.
Parallel outputs are provided for a second center channel speaker and/or subwoofer. If your screen is large,
you might want to use one speaker above it and another one below it. One way to tame room resonances is
by using multiple subwoofers playing the same signal from different locations in the room.
If you are not using the second set of Balanced SUB2 and CENTER2 outputs, they can be reassigned as
ZONE2 L/R outputs to ensure noise rejection if the ZONE2 amplifier has balanced input and it’s far away from
the AVM 30 (see section 3.7).
If you’re using one Rear channel, use the Rear-L output to connect it (see section 3.2).
Shown below are the analog audio RECORD outputs, which connect to the inputs of tape recorders and
VCRs, together with the outputs that connect to amplifiers for ZONE2 and ZONE3:
For ZONE2, ZONE3, and RECORD to have any output, the source components being used there must be
connected to the AVM 30 with the same type of connection
The only exception is when using Copy mode for audio – see section 4.3.
