E20
To select any input, simply press
the Source Up or Source Down button
on the remote control, the preamp will
then cycle through the inputs until the
desired one is selected. The volume
control is motorised, so that when you
press Volume Up or Volume Down on
the remote, the control will rotate in the
required direction. The red LED in the
volume control knob indicates the cur-
rent setting of the control. To temporar-
ily turn off the sound, in order to answer
the telephone for instance, press the
MUTE button on the remote control.
The mute LED will light indicating the
muted state. It is advisable to acquire
the habit of turning down the volume to
zero before switch off.
HEADPHONES
The E20 has a standard 1/4" jack
socket for connecting headphones. If
your headphones are supplied with the
type of mini-jack which is commonly
used for portable cassette players, you
will need to use a mini-jack to 1/4" jack
adaptor. The E20 has a separate low
powered Class A amplifier for
headphone use. When you plug in the
headphones, the main preamp output
will be muted. Most headphones avail-
able on the market are suitable for use.
CONNECTIONS
All connections should be made
with the power OFF.
The E20 has inputs for Phono (MM and
MC), CD, Tuner, Video, LD, Auxiliary
and two Tape decks (1 and 2).
TAPE CONNECTIONS
Note that the E20 has connections
for two tape decks.
You could therefore have two tape
decks connected at the same time. To
listen to Tape 1, select Tape 1 with the
source selector, to listen to Tape 2, select
Tape 2 on the source selector.
For recording on Tape 1, whatever
source is selected on the source (listen)
selector will automatically be sent to the
Tape 1 record outputs.
Tape 2 has its own record selector
which is controlled by the push buttons
on the front panel. This allows you to set
which source you wish to record on Tape
2 independently from what is selected by
the source (listen) selector. Thus it is
possible to for instance listen to the CD
input while recording the Tuner input on
Tape 2.
PREAMP OUTPUTS
In order to be used with loudspeak-
ers, the E20 must be connected to a
power amplifier, such as the Musical
Fidelity Elektra E30. Connections are
made with standard Phono/RCA type
cables.
OPERATION
All functions of the E20, with the
exception of the TAPE 2 RECORD
SELECT and power on and off, can be
controlled via the supplied remote con-
trol.
