Connecting to Audio-Visual Components
If you have a LD player, DVD player or CD player with a digital output, you can make use of an
optical digital cable (not supplied) or coaxial digital cable (not supplied) to carry the audio portion
of the signal and enjoy Dolby Digital sound quality.
One optical or coaxial cable is needed for each LD player, DVD player or CD player. This
receiver provides one optical, one coaxial and one XLR digital input for the connection of your
components. Please connect your components (e.g. LD, DVD, or CD) to the appropriate digital
inputs and press INPUT button to select your connection.
Note:
Optical and coax cables carry only the audio portion of the signal. A separate video connection
must also be established for a LD player and DVD player. S-video provides the best connection
for the video portion of the signal. Composite video (yellow RCA connector) can also be used. It is
important to use the same connection type (S-video or composite) to connect the LD or DVD
player to the ADP-61 and then from the ADP-61 to the TV, LCD or Plasma display.

Rear Panel
If your CD or DVD player is equipped with digital output jacks, you can enjoy superior sound quality
by making use of them.
S/PDIF Digital connections are possible via either a TOSLINK optical or a 75ohm co-axial cable with
RCA connectors. For a AES/EBU connection, a 105ohm digital XLR cable is required.
Once connected, simply select either Coax-1, Coax-2 or OPTICAL input for each connection.
Note: This receiver only has one of each digital input type. Yo u may have to use the optical for one unit,
while using the co-axial connection for another.
Also note: Digital cable quality will affect performance. To minimize jitter and other artifacts, only use
good quality, well shielded digital cables.
If your video component has a S-Video output connection,
you can enjoy enhanced video quality by connecting it to
one of the S-Video input sockets on the rear panel of the
ADP-61.
One video cable is needed for each component.
Note: Before plugging in any optical or S-Video cable, make
sure the shape or pin configuration of the plug and socket
match. Be careful not to apply excessive force when making
a connection!

HINT
When hooking up an A/V unit, such as a VCR, make sure
to connect to all necessary terminals to the same name,
i.e. S-video or composite video as well as the 2xRCA analog
to all relevant sockets labelled “VCR”. The digital terminals also
correlate with certain video sockets (see HINT
in next column)
Be sure to attach the dust covers when the OPTICAL terminals
are not being used. This prevents contamination by dust etc.
For accurate DTS-decoding, the DTS bitstream integrity must
never become compromised. Incorrect or poor quality cables
and connectors can corrupt the bitstream and degrade
performance.
In order to
prevent digital errors and enjoy optimal
performance, please use dedicated, good quality digital
cables.
For S/PDIF: 70ohm digital co-axial or TosLink optical.
For AES/EBU: 110ohm balanced digital co-axial cable.
All digital audio signal input terminals accept the following
sample rate frequencies: 32 kHz, 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 96kHz
& 192kHz.
Quality of digital cables
and connectors do have a bearing
on sound quality and performance. Keep cable lengths to
a minimum.
If your CD, LD, DVD, TV/satellite tuner or DAW etc, are
equipped with a either coaxial, optical or AES/EBU XLR
digital output terminals, you can take advantage of this
sonically superior connectivity by utilizing the corresponding
input sockets on the ADP61's rear panel
Digital audio signals are not prone to the
same type of signal
loss and distortion factors as observed with typical analog
connections. Digital connections are especially recommended
when decoding multi-channel surround information, such as
Dolby Digital and DTS from LD, DVD, CD players, and
other digital sources.
To make an optical digital connection between this unit and an
external unit, remove the cover from each optical terminal, and
then connect them by using a commercially available optical
fiber cable that conforms to EIAJ standards.Other cables might
not function correctly.
Even if you connect an audio/video unit to the OPTICAL (or
COAXIAL) terminal of this unit, you must keep the
unit connec-
ted with the same named analog audio signal terminals of this
unit, because digital signal cannot be recorded by a tape deck
or VCR connected to this unit. Yo u can switch the selection of
input signals between digital and analog easily.

This section explains how to select the input source (i.e., The
AV component that you want to listen to or watch).
This unit has one set exterior decode 6 channel input, six way
analog inputs, three way digital (one is optical, two are coaxial)
inputs.All these sound sources can be selected on
the panel or
remote control.
Operating Your ADP61
If you connect a DVD player to the DVD input (audio + video)
jacks and then press the DVD button, you will be able to have
the sound and image from the DVD player.
Based on the example 1,the DVD is playing, if a video source
(Audio,Video) is connected to VIDEO input jacks of this unit,
the VIDEO button is pressed, the image and sound from the
VIDEOsource will replace the DVD.
Each individual audio input section features a volume level
attenuation function (from 0db
to -15db). This is particularly
useful for matching levels between various sound sources
without having to compensate with the Master Volume control.
The Input Reference Level can be edited at any time by simply
turning the ADJUST control.
(Tehnical note: all input stages conform to industry standard
reference levels, e.g.+4db, -10db etc.
Electronically, this
attenuation function actually occurs at the output stage.)
The following table lists all the input sources and shows which
sources are the same group:
If you have two or more video devices in your system, please
use Audio/Video signal synchro switch function.
Connect each Video/Audio source's group to this unit's same

When a digital source is playing, the receiver will automatically
recognise source format to enter to the proper surround mode
and light output speaker indicator on the left-hand side of the
display(VFD).
It is important to know,however that not all DTS or Dolby Digital
sources are encoded with the full complement
of five channels
plus LFE*.Output speaker indicator show how many and which
speaker you have enabled and the letters inside output speaker
indicator show which channel is present in the source informat-
ion.
*LFE stands for Low Frequency Effect. The indication"LFE"
appears if the digital source contains LFE information. In this
case, the bass signal will be delivered to the subwoofer,
offering more dynamic deep bass sound effects.
Automatic Audio Format Recognition
This unit detects digital signal sources and selects the corres-
ponding playback mode automatically, but can be manually
changed to a different playback mode.The new mode will rem-
ain in effect until a differently formatted source is played. For
instance, if you play a DTS - encoded DVD, DTS decoding
mode is
automatically selected. If you manually change to DTS
STEREO mode, the unit will remain in DTS STEREO mode
until you change the mode manually or play a differently form-
atted source, i.e. Dolby Digital..
Use the built-in SLEEP timer to automatically turn this unit into
the standby mode after the time you set elapses. The SLEEP
timer is useful when you plan to fall asleep while this unit is
playing back or recording a source.
