Acoustic Research Home Theater System AP001 User Manual

With the introduction of sophisticated components  
and digital signal processing, there are multitudes of  
connection options available. Each option provides you with  
the opportunity to experience amazing video and audio  
performance like never before. It’s really about what kind  
of cable matches your component and hook-up scenario.  
The Best options provide both a digital video and digital  
audio signal through a single cable. Better connection  
options require independent cables to provide a digital  
video signal or an audio signal. And good connection  
options offer you the best of an analog signal delivery.  
You’ve invested wisely in today’s digital high definition video components and multi-  
channel digital audio components. Get the most out of your investment with a hook-up  
solution tailored to your entertainment and performance expectations.

5.1 DIGITAL AUDIO  
CABLE  
(1) DVI and Component Video cables carry video signal only. You will need a separate audio connection such as Digital Coax, Digital Optical, 5.1 Digital  
Audio when available) or Analog Stereo Audio (left and right) to complete your hookup.  
(2) Component Video is the best analog video connection available. The video signal is carried on three individual paths to help ensure integrity of the  
signal for best picture reproduction. Use this cable when the digital HDMI or DVI connections are not available.  
CAMCORDER  
AUDIO  
STEREO AUDIO  
Carries six surround sound audio  
channels (front left, front right,  
rear left, rear right, center and a  
subwoofer) on 6 individual cables  
for best signal transfer and audio  
reproduction.  
Carries stereo audio signal for  
best sound quality.  
SPECIALTY  
(3) A limited number of A/V receivers includes HDMI inputs and outputs. If your receiver does not have this connection, use Component Video cable to  
DIGITAL COAX AUDIO  
carry video signal from the video source, such as a DVD player or Cable/Satellite Receiver, to your A/V receiver. You will also need a separate audio  
connection such as Digital Coax or Digital Optical. If your TV supports the HDMI connection, you can run HDMI cable straight to your TV. This will  
however prevent you from being able to use the A/V Receiver to switch between components.  
(4) The Analog Stereo Audio (left and right) does not carry digital surround sound. You must use either a Digital Coax or Digital Optical audio cable from  
your audio source (a DVD player or a Cable/Satellite Receiver for example) in order to be able to transfer digital surround sound audio signals to your  
A/V Receiver.  
(5) If your components support IEEE 1394 FireWire connections, you can use this connection instead of HDMI. Both HDMI and FireWire carry digital  
audio and video data, and you will not need a separate audio connection.  
(6) In case when your HDTV has DVI inputs (not HDMI) and your components have HDMI outputs (not DVI), you can still utilize your HDMI outputs on your  
components and connect to DVI inputs on your HDTV via HDMI-to-DVI Adapter. Note, DVI carries only the video signal, therefore if you want sound to  
come out directly from your HDTV, you will need to run a separate analog stereo audio cable from your components to your HDTV.
