CD, Tuner, Aux, SACD, and Tape.
and 1 phono input which can be used for
moving magnet (MM) cartridges.
All line level inputs are electrically identi-

component with an output voltage in the
hundreds of millivolts (mV). This
includes CD players, Super Audio CD
players (SACD), tuners, tape machines and
the audio outputs of video recorders, tele-
visions, DVD and LaserDisc players etc.
Connect the Left and Right outputs from
your line level sources to the line level

you use Musical Fidelity Nu-Vista inter-
connect cables for this connection.

turntables fitted with a moving magnet car-
tridge (MM).
Some turntable/pick-up arm combinations

sis earth, which should be connected to the
gold terminal on the back of the amplifier.
SPEAKER CONNECTION

you use Musical Fidelity Nu-Vista O.C.C
speaker cables for this connection.

the 16A IEC type mains lead supplied with
