7. Accessories – Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The product may fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to the product. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer, or sold with the product. Any mounting of the product should follow manufacturer’s instructions, and should use a mounting accessory recommended by the manufacturer.

8. Ventilation – Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the product and to protect it from overheating, and these openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This product should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer’s instructions have been adhered to.

Note about Digital and Analog Inputs:

•You can change any input to Digital or Analog. Digital inputs use the Statement D1’s high-end digital to analog converters and can be changed from RCA to Toslink or XLR connection. Analog inputs can be set to Digital Signal Processing for bass management, bass/treble control, time alignment, and surround modes, or Direct to bypass all digital stages. Auto-Dig uses the digital connection if a digital signal is sensed, and automatically switches to analog connection if there is no digital signal. For more information see sections 4.2.1 and 7.4.5.

Note about Your Speakers:

• The Statement D1 allows you to enter information about how many speakers you have in your system, as well as their relative size, type, and distance from your listening position. This speaker setup information is important in directing audio signals optimally, ensuring you get the best quality sound from your system – see sections 7.4.2, 7.4.3, and 7.4.4.

4.1 CONNECTING POWER TO THE STATEMENT D1

Connect the power cord to the back of the Statement D1 and then to a 105 to 130 Volt, 60 Hz AC outlet.

4.2 AUDIO CONNECTIONS

There are two methods of transmitting audio signals: Analog and Digital. Analog is an electrical waveform representation of sound and requires one cable for each channel. Digital represents sound using a sequence of numbers and requires only one cable for all channels.

Every audio input in the Statement D1 can be changed from the factory setting to either Digital or Analog, except 2-Ch BAL and 6-Ch S/E, which accept analog signals only (see section 7.4.5).

4.2.1 DIGITAL AUDIO INPUTS AND OUTPUTS

Digital Audio-In connections are made through a coaxial (RCA), optical (TOS), or balanced (XLR) cable. From the factory, DVD and SAT are set to Digital-RCA, whereas CD, TAPE, TV, VCR, and AUX are set to Analog-DSP.

The highest transmission quality is achieved with the AES/EBU connection. The Statement D1 provides one such input. The S/PDIF-RCA connection offers the next best digital transmission – use for source components with digital RCA outputs. For source components with Toslink outputs only, use S/PDIF-TOS. Any digital input may be assigned to any number of Sources that are set to ‘Digital’ (see section 7.4.5).

Note: An external RF demodulator is required if using a Laser Disc player with Dolby Digital/AC-3.

Digital Rec-Out can provide a signal to the digital audio input of a Mini Disc recorder, CD-R, etc., from any Source set to ‘Digital’ or ‘Anlg-DSP’ (see sections 7.4.5 and 7.4.7).

4.2.2 ANALOG AUDIO INPUTS

Left/Right Analog audio connections are made through a pair of interconnect cables – typically white or black for the Left channel and red for the Right channel.

Note: Connect both the digital and

analog outputs from source components that have both types of connection (e.g. DVD player) – ZONE2, ZONE3, and RECORD require analog audio connection unless set to ‘copy’ MAIN (see sections 5.2.1 and 7.4.5).

Caution for DTS: With DTS-CDs or DTS Laser Discs, do not use analog connection if your player does not have the DTS logo on its faceplate, otherwise a loud noise will be produced at the analog outputs of the player. Players that have the DTS logo can pass a DTS-encoded signal through their digital outputs, though they do often require a change in their setup menu to enable it (see player’s operating manual).

4. CONNECTIONS

4.2.3 2-Ch BALANCED AND 6-Ch SINGLE-ENDED (S/E) ANALOG AUDIO INPUTS

The 6-Ch S/E input is intended primarily for DVD-Audio and multichannel SACD players. If unused for this purpose, the Front-Left and Front-Right connections can be used as an additional 2-channel input.

Note: When 6-Ch S/E is selected as the Source, the video signal from the DVD input will be routed to

the video outputs – connect your player’s video output to the DVD input (sections 4.3 and 7.4.5).

The 2-Ch BAL and 6-Ch S/E inputs can be set to either bypass all digital stages in the Statement D1 or to include digital stages, so that bass management, time alignment, surround modes, lip-sync delay, bass/treble control, and THX post-processing can be enabled (see sections 5.7, 5.8, 7.4.2, and 7.4.5).

4.2.4 ANALOG AUDIO OUTPUTS

Balanced XLR connection offers the highest transmission quality, particularly over long cable lengths, because it rejects noise and hum pickup. In the Statement D1, XLR output voltage is twice that of RCA output voltage (or 6 dB higher). If your amplifier does not have balanced inputs, use Single-Ended RCA connection.

The Statement D1 also provides parallel outputs for a second Center channel and/or Subwoofer. If the Balanced SUB2 and CENTER2 outputs are not being used for this purpose, they can be re-configured to act as Balanced outputs for ZONE2 to ensure lower noise with longer cable runs (see sections 5.2 and 7.4.7).

If you’re using one Rear channel, use the Rear-L output for it (see section 7.4.2).

The Analog Audio RECORD outputs for your tape recorder and VCR are shown below, together with the outputs for ZONE2 and ZONE3 amplifiers:

4.3 VIDEO CONNECTIONS

The Statement D1 provides video switching for three formats: Composite video, S-Video, and Component video. Format translation is not performed – if only S-Video is used from your VCR, the S-Video output of the Statement D1 will be the only one with a signal to send to your TV monitor whenever the VCR Source is selected. Always remember to select the matching video input on your TV monitor/projector.

The choice of video format depends on the type that is available on your TV monitor/projector. If it only accepts Composite and S-Video, then there is no advantage in connecting Component video from your DVD player to the Statement D1 – S-Video connection must be used throughout the system.

Composite Video:

This is the oldest video format. It combines the black/white and color information for transmission on a single coaxial cable with RCA connectors. These signals must then be separated again within the TV monitor by a comb filter, resulting in some loss of video quality.

S-Video:

S-Video gives better video quality by transmitting color and brightness separately, using a multi-conductor cable with S-Video connectors (5-pin Mini DIN).

Component Video:

Component video is transmitted over three coaxial cables, is capable of progressive scan mode, and produces the highest video quality. The Statement D1 has four assignable Component video inputs. Note that all 3-wire connections must be made (Y, Pb, Pr). Component-In and Component-Out are compatible with HDTV, all the way up to 1080p.

Note: Factory default settings are DVD for Component1 and SAT for Component2 (see section 7.4.5).

The On-Screen Display is available in MAIN and ZONE2 when Composite or S-Video connections are used.

The Statement D1 does not provide On-Screen Display for the Component video output. If you use Component video, make sure either Composite or S-Video output is also connected from the Statement D1 to your TV. You can then change to that TV input to view the Setup Menu and make changes more conveniently (see section 7).

4.4 POWERED I.R. (INFRA RED) RECEIVERS

External IR repeaters allow the Remote Control to be used from other locations in your home. Once a repeater is wired to a selected room, connect it to one of the three I.R. RECEIVER inputs through the removable terminal block. To use the terminal block, remove it from the Statement D1, loosen the proper screw, insert the wire in the slot, tighten the screw onto the wire, and insert the terminal block into the Statement D1. See section 7.4.9 for Setup information.

In addition, there is no need for an external 12V supply to power the repeaters – use the Statement D1’s built-in supply instead for up to three repeaters, and connect according to the repeater manufacturer’s instructions.

Note: For installers – The Statement D1’s IR inputs sense modulated 38 kHz carrier, not demodulated

data. With some control systems, an emitter face-to-face with an IR repeater may be needed.

4.5 I.R. (INFRA RED) EMITTERS

External IR emitters, also known as flashers, allow control of your source components from any location in your home that has an IR repeater wired to the back of the Statement D1. Position a flasher in front of the source components and connect to one of the two I.R. EMITTER outputs – IR commands coming in through the rear I.R. RECEIVER inputs are re-transmitted through the flashers.

4.6 RELAY TRIGGERS

If your other components have provisions for a trigger, you can automatically turn them on and off together with the Statement D1, or when a specified Source is selected. Connect a trigger output from the Statement D1 to the trigger input of your power amplifier, TV monitor, etc., using a cable with 3.5mm mono mini plugs.

Trigger3 is designed to provide the extra current (up to 200 mA) required by relays in larger projectors and motorized screens. Depending on the equipment, a thicker wire gauge may be required (consult your dealer).

The Statement D1 provides flexible trigger options. From the factory, all the triggers are disabled. Through the Setup Menu, the conditions for enabling triggers can be specified (see section 7.4.9).

4.7 FM • AM ANTENNAS

To connect the FM antenna, first connect the two antenna wires to the screw terminals of the 75-ohm to 300-ohm adapter. Then connect the adapter to the FM ANTENNA connector on the Statement D1. If your local cable company provides FM service, connect the cable directly to the Statement D1 instead of using the adapter.

To connect the AM loop antenna, press the spring-loaded tabs of the AM ANTENNA connector, insert the bare ends of the wire from the loop antenna and release the tabs.

Once both antennas are connected, move each of them around until best reception is found. For the FM antenna, this will usually be in a “T” formation.
