C O N N E C T I O N S
This section describes connections between system components. Configuration of input and output will be discussed later, in section 3.
2.1 VIDEO INPUT AND OUTPUT
With HDMI connection, video and audio are carried together. Connect HDMI output from MRX to a display with HDMI input – one with the appropriate version of Highbandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) is required to display copy-protected material.
HDMI input 7 is also an MHL input (Mobile High-definition Link). Use this input if the source component also supports MHL, for example smaller media players that receive power through this interface.
Insert HDMI cables gently because the connector is more delicate than traditional ones. Damaged cables can damage jacks, and replacement jacks are not covered by warranty therefore replacing HDMI cables is recommended if there is any chance that the existing ones have been used improperly.
Use only certified High Speed cables and connecting devices. Cables and connecting devices that worked in an older setup do not necessarily work with newer video formats such as Deep Color, UHD, or high frame rates. If you are using adapters or port savers, start troubleshooting by eliminating them since they can affect bandwidth.
6
2.2 AUDIO CONNECTIONS
AUDIO INPUTS AND OUTPUTS
Digital audio sources can be connected using an HDMI, coaxial or optical cable. These connections carry linear PCM, Dolby Digital, and DTS audio formats. HDMI connection is generally preferred to ensure that lossless audio is used where sources provide it although optical/coax can also be used for sources outputting 2-channel PCM, Dolby Digital 5.1, and DTS 5.1 without affecting audio quality.
Audio on the HDMI outputs is 2-channel PCM as this is meant for the TV’s use.
HDMI AUDIO RETURN CHANNEL
If the TV provides audio through HDMI ARC, for example when it accesses streaming media sources, it can send the audio to the MRX through HDMI output 1, eliminating the need for a separate audio connection. CEC control, described in a later section, must be enabled for Audio Return Channel to function.
If the display reads “Dial Norm Offset -4.0 dB” at the start of a movie, it is indicating that the encoded level is higher than standard by 4.0 dB – the playback level of all channels is then automatically reduced by 4 dB.
PREAMP OUTPUTS
The pre-outs are variable according to the volume control and can be used with external amplification.
7
LINE OUTPUT AND ZONE 2 OUTPUT
Line output is a 2-channel version of the selected input with fixed output level. This can be used with a headphone amp which has its own volume control.
Zone 2 has its own volume control and can be used two ways:
-For independent source selection, connect the source using analog input, or optical/ coaxial input as long as the source is 2-channel PCM. This connection can be used in conjunction with HDMI connection for the main zone.
-For similar operation as Line Output but with volume control, set Follow Main to Always in the setup menu (setup is explained later).
OPTICAL AND COAXIAL DIGITAL AUDIO
If HDMI audio from a Dolby Digital, DTS, or 2-channel PCM source is problematic or takes too long to switch, use of coax/optical audio connection is recommended (HDMI video can still be used). Older cable and satellite receivers often benefit from this.
The optical output provides a passthrough of coax/ optical input.
8
SPEAKER CONNECTIONS
Using speaker wire, connect the positive (+) connection on the speaker to the positive
(+) binding post on the appropriate amplifier output, and the negative (–) connection on the speaker to the negative (–) binding post on the same amplifier channel using cable that is insulated to handle the maximum output of the amplifier. Carefully remove insulation using a wire stripper.
Do not connect more than one speaker to each amplifier output. Be sure that power is turned off when connecting or disconnecting anything, and that the speakers are rated for use with this receiver.
US models allow banana connectors. If using them, first turn the binding post until it is closed to allow the plug to be fully inserted.
If using speaker cables with banana connectors, first turn the binding post until it is closed. This way, the plug can be fully inserted.
9
2.3 ANTENNA
Connect the FM antenna to the FM ANTENNA connector.
Later, when unit is operating move the antenna to find best reception.
2.4LOCAL AREA NETWORK
A network connection is required for configuring Anthem Room Correction, using the Play-Fi App, or using IP control. To use a wired connection, simply connect your router using CAT5 cable.
2.512 VOLT TRIGGER
If another system component has a trigger input it can be activated by the receiver. Connect the receiver’s trigger output using a cable with 3.5mm mini plugs. The receiver provides flexible trigger options. Through the setup menu, you can specify the conditions for enabling triggers.
2.6INFRA RED
An external IR receiver allows the remote control to be used from another location in your home – connect the receiver from an external IR hub to the IR IN jack. Most standard IR repeater kits can be used but to avoid problems test compatibility before installing permanently.
2.7 |
POWER |
Connect the power cord to the receiver and the power source.
