Connecting to a Power Amplifer
Connecting to a Power Amplifier
There are two different ways the D150 may be oper-
ated in an audio system. The first way as the Main
Audio Preamplifier connected directly to a Power
Amplifier, instructions on this page. The second way
as a Digital to Analog Converter with Input Switching
connecting to an Analog Preamplifier, instructions on
the next page.
The D150 has the ability to automatically switch
power On/Off to Source Components via the Power
Control connections. The Data Port Connections allow
for the remote operation of basic functions using the
D150 Remote Control. With an external sensor con-
nected to the D150, remote control operation of the
system is possible from another room and/or when the
D150 is located in a cabinet with the doors closed.
The connection instructions below, together with
the D150 Connection Diagram located on the separate
folded sheet “
Mc1A
”, is an example of a typical audio
system. Your system may vary from this, however the
actual components would be connected in a similar
manner. For additional information refer to “Connec-
tor and Cable Information” on page 4.
Note: The Power Amplifier may be connected to the
D150 Balanced or Unbalanced Outputs.
Power Control Connections:
1. Connect a Control Cable from the D150 POWER
CONTROL OUT Jack to the Power Control In on
the SACD/CD Transport.
2. Connect a Control Cable from the SACD/CD
Transport Power Control Out Jack to the Tuner
Power Control In Jack.
3. Connect a Control Cable from the Tuner Power
Control Out Jack to the SACD/CD Player Power
Control In Jack.
4. Connect a Control Cable from the SACD/CD Play-
er Power Control Out Jack to the Power Amplifier
Power Control In Jack.
Note: If two Power Amplifiers are used, connect the
Power Control Output of the first Amplifier to
the Power Control Input on the second Ampli-
fier.
5. Connect any additional Components in a similar
manner, as outlined in steps 1 thru 4.
Sensor Connection:
6. Optionally, connect the external Sensor to the
D150 IR Input Connector.
Audio Connections:
7. Connect balanced audio cables from the D150
VARIABLE AUDIO OUTPUT (R&L) connec
-
tors to the balanced Input connectors on the Power
Amplifier.
Note: If two Power Amplifiers are used, connect
the unbalanced VARIABLE AUDIO OUTPUT
(L&R) to the unbalanced Inputs on the second
Amplifier.
Digital Audio Connections:
8. Connect a Digital DIN Cable from the D150 DIGI-
TAL DIN INPUT Jack to the SACD/CD Transport
Digital Audio DIN Output Jack.
9. Connect a Digital Coaxial Cable from the D150
DIGITAL AUDIO COAXIAL IN 1 Jack to the
Tuner Digital Coaxial Output Jack.
10. Connect a Digital Optical Cable from the D150
DIGITAL AUDIO OPTICAL IN 1 Jack to the
SACD/CD Player Digital Optical Output Jack.
11. Connect a USB cable with (type A to type B) con
-
nectors from the D150 DIGITAL AUDIO INPUT
USB to the Computer USB connector.
12. Connect any additional Components in a similar
manner, as outlined in steps 8 thru 11.
AC Power Cords Connections:
13. Connect the D150 and any remaining components’
AC Power Cords to a live AC outlet as illustrated.
