INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS 19Installation and ConnectionsExternal Audio Decoder ConnectionTo provide for ultimate flexibility, the AVR 7000may be used in conjunction with optional, exter-nal decoders for digital audio systems other thanthe AVR 7000’s own built-in Dolby Digital andDTS decoding system or with DVD players hav-ing those decoders integrated. If an externaldecoder is used, connect the output jacks of thedecoder to the 6-Channel Direct inputs £,making sure to match channels.These jacks may also be used for connections todevices such as DVD players or High DefinitionTelevision (HDTV) sets or decoders that featurebuilt-in digital surround decoders. Although thedigital decoding system in the AVR 7000 will typi-cally provide audio performance that is superior toother decoders, you may use these jacks to providean additional 6-channel input for connection to aDVD player or HDTV set with a built-in decoderand discrete 6-channel analog outputs.AC Power ConnectionsThis unit is equipped with two accessory AC out-lets. They may be used to power accessorydevices, but they should not be used with high-current draw equipment such as power ampli-fiers. The total power draw to each outlet maynot exceed 100 watts.The Switched ‹ outlets will receive poweronly when the unit is on completely. This is rec-ommended for devices that have no powerswitch or a mechanical power switch that maybe left in the “ON” position.NOTE: Many audio and video products go into aStandby mode when they are used withswitched outlets, and cannot be fully turned onusing the outlet alone without a remote controlcommand.The Unswitched ¤ outlet will receive poweras long as the unit is plugged into a powered ACoutlet and the Main Power Switch 1 is on.Finally, when all connections are complete, plugthe power cord into a nonswitched 220-240-voltAC wall outlet.
