Connections
Before connecting
Before connecting other devices, connect the jack side of the
accessory power cable to the AC inlet of this unit.
Before connection is made, turn off the main power switch
of this unit and the power of all other connected devices to
prevent accidents due to noises generated unexpectedly.
How to connect power supply
Use the accessory power cable and insert the AC plug in an
outlet on the wall in the room where the unit will be installed.
How to connect an analog record player
1. Mount a cartridge on the tone arm in an appropriate way
by referring to the operating instructions of the analog
player and cartridge to be used.
2. Insert the pin-plugs of an RCA pin-plug cables from the
tone arm with a cartridge mounted into the input terminals
of this unit. At this moment, be sure to make a connection
without a mistake between the R-channel and L-channel.
If the grounding side of the pin-plug cables is inadequately
connected, noises including hum may be generated,
resulting in an adverse effect on the S/N ratio.
3. Grounding between analog players to be connected and
this unit is needed. Be sure to connect the ground wires
that come from tone arms in parallel with pin-plug cables
to the ground terminals of this unit.
If the ground wires are inadequately connected, noises
including hum may be generated, resulting in an adverse
effect on the S/N ratio.
Do not connect the output of an analog player with phono
equalizer embedded to this unit. Failure to observe this
may not only distort the amplifier signals but also cause
a malfunction.
Connect the output of an analog player with phono equal-
izer embedded to the line input of this unit.
How to connect the input terminals to
input devices such as a CD player
Connect between the output terminals of an input device
such as a CD player and the input terminals of this unit with
pin-plug cables or balanced cables.
At this moment, exercise extra care not to conduct wrong
connection between the right and left channels. If the right
and left channels are connected reversely, the localization of
sound images is deteriorated, thus failing in normal stereo
playback.
If pin-plug cables are used, inadequate connection of the
grounding of the cables may generate noises including hum,
resulting in an adverse S/N ratio. Surely insert the connection
plug.
How to connect the output terminals to
output devices such as a power amplifier
Connect between the input terminals of an output device
such as a power amplifier and the output terminals of this unit
with pin-plug cables or balanced cables.
At this moment, exercise extra care not to conduct wrong
connection between the right and left channels. If the right
and left channels are connected reversely, the localization of
sound images is deteriorated, thus failing in normal stereo
playback.
If pin-plug cables are used, inadequate connection of the
grounding of the cables may generate noises including hum,
resulting in an adverse S/N ratio. Surely insert the connection
plug.
When this unit is connected to an input/output device, turn
off the power of this unit to protect the amplifier and speakers
from excessive input. Also turn off the power of the input/
output devices connected to this unit. After connection,
ensure that connections are appropriately performed and turn
this unit and the input/output devices to the operating state.
