Stereo or RCA ?

Hello,

Take a look at the following connectors on this picture:

http://www.usa.denon.com/AVR1709_Large_Back.jpg

There are 8 connectors with the letters:

FL, FR, C, SW, SL, SR, SBL, SBR

What kind of connectors are these ?

To me it seems like RCA connectors because they look the same as the
television connectors.

But maybe this picture is deceiving and it could actually be "simple stereo
pin connectors" ? (Don't know the name the official name for that... maybe
that's it).

The "answer" stereo connectors probably wouldn't make much sense since these
seem to be 8 channel signals.. thus the stereo already needs to be split...
so this could explain why these are RCA connectors.

Would be helpfull if manual clearly states what type of connectors each one
are... in this case this info doesn't seem to be present ?! ;)

Bye,
Skybuck.

I have no idea what you are talking about. Each is an RCA
connector and each clearly is for one channel of a 7.1
channel input.

I really doubt that it is NOT clearly stated as this is
pretty standard.

What are you trying to do? The connectors on the 1909 are
inputs. What do you want to connect to them?

A cable which has 4 stereo outputs.

So now I need a stereo to two RCA plugs splitter ;)

Thx,

PC equipment like soundblasters and speakers usually have stereo cables
instead of rca/one channel cables.

So to be able to connect PC equipment to receivers, stereo splitters would
be needed.

So pc equipment comes with newer connectors like spdif/optical and what
not... but it can have drawbacks as well... but I won't go into that now ;)
:)

Thanks for your interesting I hope you learned something ;) :)

And if you didn't learn something than I am sure that other newbies will
learn something when they see this posting :)

Bye,
Skybuck.

Little typo I ment to write:

Some pc equipment...
 
A cable with 4 stereo outputs and no inputs, you were ripped off.

Ofcourse it has inputs :)

Just weird inputs... so I left it out to prevent you from getting confused !
=D

Bye,

The four in the upper left are very probably USB.

The "Tuner Antenna" AM are single-wire terminals, press the tab to open
them, stick in the wire, and release the tab.

The "Tuner Antenna" FM is an "F" connector, like cable TV.

On the left, COAX-1 and -2 are "F" connetors, and I have no idea what
OPT-1 and OPT-2 are - they look unimplemented.

The next block to the right "VIDEO MONITOR" etc are RCA's with five
DIN connectors of some kind.

Do their right, under "SPEAKERS", are banana jacks.

"REMOTE CONTROL ROOM TO ROOM" looke like phone jacks, and the last 3
are RCA.

Hope This Helps!

Not very much.

He asked specifically:

As for your other contributions:
1. The four in the upper left are HDMI, as labeled. (Not USB)
2. OPT-1 and OPT-2 are TOSlink. (Fully implemented)
3. The VIDEO MONITOR jacks that accompany the RCA (composite
inputs) are S-video. (A specific kind of DIN)
4. The "SPEAKER" connectors are multiway that are capable of
accepting bare wire, bent pins as well as banana plugs.
5. The "REMOTE CONTROL ROOM TO ROOM" connectors are usually for
1/8" miniplugs. (Not phone plugs)

But he didn't ask about any of that.

The ones in the block labeled "Ext In"? Those are RCA connectors.

What do you mean by "television connector"? Composite video uses RCA
connectors as well, typically color coded yellow. But the plug and jack
dimensions are identical.


"Pin connectors" that I'm familiar with are sometimes used for speaker
connections. Also known as mini banana plugs, they are rare. Your
speaker connections are universal terminal posts which take 4mm banana
plugs.


They expect that if you don't know what an RCA jack is, you shouldn't be
playing around with the back side of such equipment.

Please Paul, erase alt.nl.audio.hifi!
 
What a nightmare that must be when everything is hooked up... there
are about 80 connectors! Imagine buying, say, 40 high-end audio
cables: enough to buy a few houses in some places.

The back of my AV amp looks similar. "High end" audio cables aren't
all that expensive, as long as you don't buy them from Best Buy, or
similar. ;-)
Some day everything will be wireless.

....and then nothing will work.
