1 7.1 CHANNEL INPUT
t Connect to the corresponding analog audio output of a
multichannel source component such as a DVD-Audio or
multichannel-SACD player or external multichannel decoder (disc
copy protected formats only allow analog signal transfer). Typically,
these sources will produce 5.1-channel output, in which case the
Surround Back jacks are left unconnected. The signal present at
these jacks can be heard by selecting Source 7 (7.1 CHANNEL INPUT
is defaulted to this Source).
t There is no bass-management or other processing (other than
master-volume control) available to this 7.1 channel input.
t While the multichannel audio output of a DVD/BD player can be
connected to these jacks, using the T 187’s own Dolby Digital and
DTS decoding and digital-analog converters via a digital connection
will usually produce superior results.
2 AUDIO
PRE-OUT
The AUDIO PRE- OUT makes it possible to use the T 187 as a pre-
amplifier to external power amplifiers for some or all channels.
t Connect FRONT L, FRONT R, CENTER, SURR R, SURR L, SURR-BL and
SURR-BR to the respective channel input of a power amplifier or
amplifiers driving the corresponding applicable speakers.
t Connect the SUBW1 (and/or SUBW2) output to powered (“active”)
subwoofers or to power amplifier channels driving a passive system.
t Unlike the full range channels, there is no power amplifier built-into
the T 187 for a subwoofer.
3 FM
ANTENNA
TERMINAL
t The supplied wire “dipole” FM antenna will connect to the FM
connector using the supplied “balun” adapter. It will usually work
best when mounted on a vertical surface such as a wall, with arms
fully outstretched forming a horizontal “T” perpendicular to the
origin point of the signal.
AM ANTENNA TERMINAL
The AM loop antenna supplied with the T 187 (or a suitable
replacement) is required for AM reception.
t Connect the supplied AM loop antenna to these terminals. If an
external AM antenna is used, make connections to the AM and GND
terminals in accordance with the instructions supplied with the
antenna.
t Testing different positions for the antenna may improve reception;
vertical orientation will usually produce the best results. Antenna
proximity to large metal objects (appliances, radiators) may impair
reception, as will as attempts to lengthen the wire to the loop.
t Refer also to the item about ASSEMBLING THE LOOP ANTENNA at
the LISTENING TO AM/FM RADIO section of the OPERATION page.
