Your 8000AP has four regular analogue stereo inputs -

and . These are electrically identical and may

be used for any analogue stereo audio source.

There is a 5.1 analogue input, for

connection of a multi channel SACD or DVD Audio player.

This input is a straight-line pass-through input. The output

appears unchanged at the 5.1 outputs of the 8000AP.

These inputs should be connected to a suitable line output on

the source component using high quality, screened, RCA

phono interconnects.

The

(Front Left)

(Front Right) (Left Surround) (Right Surround)

(Centre) (Left Back) and (Right Back) outputs should be

connected to the appropriate line inputs of your AV power

amplifier using quality, screened RCA phono interconnects.

The output should be connected to the line input of your

subwoofer using a high quality, well screened RCA phono

interconnect. Take care not to run the interconnect parallel

with mains wiring and other potential interference sources.

8000AP can be configured to any multi-channel

combination, from stereo to full 7.1 output. The

The TAPE OUT is a line-level output of the currently selected

stereo analogue input. It is unaffected by the volume control.

This should be connected to the input of a suitable recorder.

The TAPE IN should be connected to the analogue output of a

recorder. If you have a three head recorder you can compare

the original and recorded sound during recording

Your 8000AP has three identical coaxial digital inputs -

(Digital Aux 1). These should be connected to the

SPDIF digital output on the source component using a quality,

screened, coaxial digital cable.

HDMI-DVI cables:

Your 8000AP has four optical inputs -

(Digital Aux 2). These should be connected to the

TOSLINK output on the source component using a quality,

optical cable. All connections are electrically identical.

The signal at is an unmodified copy of the

currently selected digital source, i.e. it is unaffected by the

volume control or processing mode. It is not possible to route

an analogue source to the digital output. This should be

connected to a digital recorder such as a DAT or MD recorder.

There are two HDMI inputs. These should be connected via

an HDMI interconnect to the output of a DVD player or other

AV streaming device. They are identical.

The audio component of the HDMI input is stripped off and

routed through the processor. The processed output appears

at the analogue outputs of the 8000AP.

The HDMI output may be connected to an HDMI input on

your TV screen.

Apart from conducting the mandatory handshaking protocols

the video component of the HDMI signal is not processed by

the 8000AP. The video signal that appears at your TV is

entirely dependent on your DVD player or other source. To get

the best video result you should consult the handbooks of the

video source component and the TV.

HDMI interconnects carry very high freqiencies and levels of

information. For optimum results use high quality

interconnects and ensure that they are as short as possible.

A DVI enabled graphics card may be

connected to the HDMI input of the 8000AP. Likewise the

HDMI output may be connected to the DVI input of a

Computer monitor. In both cases a HDMI-DVI convertor will

be required. There are very real problems with computer

graphics cards and monitors when passing High Definition

Video signals. Even if they support HD, the lack of High

Definition Copy Protection (HDCP) circuitry in many products

means that HD signals will be blocked or downgraded to

standard definition video. If you are contemplating these

connections consult your manuals before proceeding.
