Make sure that all the components of your audio system are
disconnected from the AC supply whenever you change any
connections.
You will need a source of audio signals (such as our CD player
CD20R or our tuner T20) to feed into your PA20R. Use a good-
quality, screened phono-phono audio cable to connect the phono
output sockets of your sound source to the appropriate pair of
left
and
right
sockets marked

Use a good-quality, screened phono-phono audio cable to connect
the phono sockets marked

so that power is off when you
plug in

of your PA20R to an AC supply outlet. For the best sound quality,
we recommend that you do not use multi-plug adaptors.
