Connections to the amplifier

② PH BYPASS (ON/OFF) - LINE 3 input

The  Line  2  input  is  for  connecting  a  turntable  or  a  line  level 

source.  Set  the  PH  BYPASS  to  ON  when  you  connect  your  

turntable and on OFF if you connect another source such as a 

CD player.

In order to be able to use a turntable, it is necessary to use a 

compatible "phono preamplifier" with the used cell. 

The EX-242 built-in phono preamplifier is compatible with MM 

(Moving Magnet) cells.

③ DIGITAL 1 and DIGITAL 2

Your  amplifier  has  a  built-in  digital-to-analog  converter.              

Therefore it is possible to connect a digital source (such as most 

modern television screens) on DIGITAL 1 and another source on 

DIGITAL 2.

To  ensure  compatibility  with  all  existing  types  of  digital 

terminals, the DIGITAL 1 panel has an «optical» socket and a 

«coaxial».  However  this  entry  is  unique  and  it  is  possible  to 

listen one device at a time even if both are connected.

④ LOUDSPEAKER TERMINALS

Connect  the  speaker  to  the  terminals  marked  RIGHT                             

«+ R» and «R -» ensuring that «R +» is connected to the «+»                                    

terminal of the enclosure and «R -» is connected to the terminal                               

«-»  the  same  enclosure.  Connect  the  LEFT  speaker  to  the       

terminals marked «L +» and «L -» by doing the same.

Make  sure  that  no  wires  are  not  insulated  can  bypass  the     

speaker outputs. Make sure that the speaker terminals are tight 

enough to ensure a good electrical connection. If the terminal 

screws are not tight enough, the sound quality may be affected.

Use only dedicated wire to the speaker (a section of 1.5 mm² or 

more is recommended especially if the cable length is greater 

than 3m).

Important Note: 

Check  the  impedance  of  your  speakers. 

When using a pair of speakers, you can use speakers with an                    

impedance of between 4 and 8 ohms.

⑤ INPUT VOLTAGE

IMPORTANT: 

Before turning on your amplifier, check that you 

have positioned the voltage selector based on your geographic 

location: AC110V (USA, etc ...) and AC230V (EU, etc ...). 

Make  sure  that  the  device  is  not  plugged  into  the  mains                

before making any connections. It is also recommended to turn 

off  or  disconnect  all  other  devices  associated  while  making  

connections to the product.

Connect  the  speakers  to  the  speaker  terminals  on  the  back 

and the sources of the corresponding input jacks on the back. 

Connect the power cord to the connector on the one hand AC 

Mains product and the other to a wall outlet.

IMPORTANT: 

Make  sure  you  have  set  the  voltage  selector  

(

⑤ 

page 5) to suit your country: INPUT VOLTAGE: AC110 (USA) 

and AC230 (EUROPE).

Turn the POWER switch ON (located on the rear panel).

If the unit is equipped with a standby, then press the STANDBY 

button to turn it on.

Press the input selector for the source you want to hear.

Quick starting guide

WARNING:

 Be sure to turn off the power on your product before 

making any connections. Similarly it is best to cut the power of 

other devices you want to connect to your amplifier.

① WIRELESS ANTENNA

This  connector  is  for  receiving  a  WIRELESS  antenna.  The              

supplied antenna is mounted directly to the back of the unit. It 

is possible to obtain an optional WIRELESS long-range antenna.
