6. Follow steps 4 through 9 above.

7. Adjust the hum centering potentiometer on the D-101

for minimum hum.

8. Follow steps 11 and 12 above.

INPUT CONNECTING PROCEDURE

The inherent hum and noise voltages applied to the input of the C-108 is

-110 DBM, or less than 3 microvolts. To avoid lowering the signal to hum ratio

of the C-108 by adding hum voltages to the input, extreme care must be taken in
its installation. We offer the following recommendations as a guide to installa-

tion:

1. Connect input to C -108 as outlined on the table

below.
