Input A4 is now the dedicated input for you to listen and control volume with your 
home theater processor (Meaning that when you listen to regular music you use 
the preamplifier found in the MD 308). Once input A4 has been activated into 

Home Theater

 mode, volume on input A4 will now be controlled via your external 

processor preamp.  

 

HOOKING UP A SUBWOOFER TO YOUR SYSTEM 

 
1.

 

Make sure your receiver is turned “OFF”. 
 

2.

 

Using RCA cables, connect one end to the 

Pre Out

 input marked on the rear of 

the Receiver, the other end to your subwoofer.  
 

3.

 

Turn the subwoofer “ON”. 
 

4.

 

Turn the receiver on and adjust the volume level to suit you. 
 

Please note the volume of the subwoofer is controlled by the volume control on the 
receiver. 

 

TAPE OUT LOOP 

 

This is used if you wish to record the music you are listening to. Connect this to a 
recordable peripheral source. 

 

POWER VU-METERS 

 

 
The MD 308 has been equipped with special power output meters. These meters 
reflect the power output of the amplifier during music playback.  
 
The MD 308 is capable of momentary power demands of well over 250 watts, 
without “clipping”, or running out of power.  The meters have a red area at the right 
hand side, during normal music playback, certain passages of music will bring you 
frequently into the red zone. This normal occurrence is a direct result of musical 
peaks, and it is not an indication of the amplifier having reached its maximum power 
output.  

 
If meters remain in red area for periods exceeding 10 seconds, this indicates that 
the amplifier is reaching its maximum power output level – reduce volume
