1 AC MAINS INPUT
•
The Padma comes supplied with a detachable mains power cord. Connect corresponding end of the
mains power cord to the AC mains input of Padma and the plug connected to a mains power source.
• Always disconnect the mains power plug from the mains power source first, before disconnecting the
cable from the Padma’s AC Mains input socket.
2 POWER SWITCH
• Supplies the AC mains power to the Padma.
• When the POWER switch is set to ON (1) position, the Padma will run through its calibration procedure
and within 60 sec will be ready to play.
• If you do not intend to use the Padma for long periods of time (such as when on holidays), switch off
(0) the POWER switch. With POWER switched off, the remote control’s power button cannot activate
the Padma.
3 FUSE HOLDER
• Your Padma is fitted with a fuse. If it needs to be replaced you must use the same type and rating.
Installing an incorrect fuse may cause damage and this will void the warranty of your Padma.
4 AUDIO OUT
• The main outputs that connects the Padma to the corresponding audio inputs of external power
amplifiers. Both single-ended (SE) and balanced (BAL) outputs are provided.
5 AUDIO IN
• Use single-ended or balanced analog audio input for sources (CD Player, tuner, DAC or other applicable
devices). Inputs 1, 2 and 6 have SE and BAL options, whereas Inputs 3, 4 and 5 have only SE inputs.
•
6 SE & BAL SELECTION
• Depending on whether you choose SE or BAL, set the toggle switch to the corresponding input.
7 HOME THEATRE OUTPUTS
• Connect a source that you wish to use for both your Stereo and Home Theatre to Input 6. Either SE
or BAL inputs are accepted. Connect the HT Outputs, either SE or BAL to your corresponding Home
Theatre amplifier inputs. When the Padma is in operation the HT Outputs are disconnected. When the
Padma is placed into standby the HT Outputs will connect the source inputs at Input 6 to your Home
Theatre amplifier.
