To connect an unbalanced line-level signal to Inputs 5-8:
Inputs 5-8 have unbalanced RCA input connectors as
well as balanced Euroblock connectors. This makes it easy to
connect input sources such as a CD player, MP3 player, or the
audio from a satellite TV receiver.

Unbalanced input connection (RCA)
These inputs accept a stereo source, but the left and right
signals are combined into a mono signal before any processing
takes place. If there is a balanced signal connected to the
Euroblock connector for Inputs 5-8, the RCA and Euroblock
input signals are combined as well.
Connecting Digital Sources
The DX1208 provides two S/PDIF input connectors for
digital audio sources. Each S/PDIF input connector accepts two
channels of digital audio, for a total of four digital inputs (9/10
and 11/12).

as it will go into the appropriate hole in the supplied Euroblock
connector. Tighten down the screw with a small slot-head
screwdriver. It is recommended that you use 20 or 22 gauge
wire with the Euroblock connectors. Wire the connectors as
indicated on the rear panel:
