onnecting a Source Component to the Aux Inputs on the P 3
The P 3 has a single
Aux
input, but
two
pairs of
Aux
jacks for either a phono or a line level
source. The
Aux Select
switch determines if you’ll hear the source connected to the
Aux-Phono
jacks or the source connected to the
Aux-Line
jacks.
It’s possible to use both pairs of
Aux
jacks, but this requires using the rear panel
Aux Select
switch when you want to switch from a phono to a line level source.
What You’ll Need:
• A turntable or other source component
• One pair of shielded interconnect cables with RCA plugs. Most turntables
have these cables permanently attached
Before Connecting
Remove power to all the components in your audio system.
Move the
Aux Select
switch so it points left toward the
Aux-Phono
jacks.
To Connect
Insert one of the turntable cable plugs into the P 3 right
Aux-Phono
jack.
Insert the other plug into the P 3 left
Aux-Phono
jack.
Connect the ground wire from your turntable to the P 3
Phono-GND
(Ground) terminal.
Unscrew the
GND
terminal post slightly and insert the bare end or spade lug of the
turntable’s ground wire. Tighten the terminal post down firmly.
Connecting Another Source Component to the Aux Inputs on the P 3
Follow the same steps as when connecting a turntable with the following exceptions:
Move the
Aux Select
switch so it points right toward the
Aux-Line
jacks.
There is no separate ground wire for line-level source components.
To Connect
Plug one end of the first cable into the right
Aux-Line
input jack on the P 3.
Plug the other end of this cable into the right channel output jack on the source component.
Repeat steps 1 and 2 for the left channel.
