Your receiver processes input signals from the connected audio sources and the built in
tuner. For this purpose it must be connected with the antenna and, using signal cables,
with each source appliance. The input signals are amplified and fed to the loudspea-
kers via the loudspeaker outputs. Other receiver outputs consist of a recording output
(REC Out), a pre-amplifier output (PRE Out) and a headphone output on the front of
the appliance.
Set up the cable links first for all inputs, then for all outputs on the receiver.
Finally introduce the power cable and connect it with the socket.
The stereo sound of appliances can often also be used with the aid of adaptors. The line level outputs on these
are not connected with cinch output plugs but different plugs (DIN plugs, jack plugs). Up to five stereo sour-
ces can be connected in addition to the built in tuner. The additional sound inputs “CD”, “DVD”, “AUX”,
“SACD” and “LINE” are electrically identical, standard high-level inputs with cinch plugs.
If a wall socket is available for the VHF antenna connection of satellite, cable or a roof aerial, connect
its radio socket with the “FM 75
Ω
” input socket (10) on the appliance. Use a 75
Ω
antenna cable for this
purpose. If such a socket is not present, the wire antenna supplied or a room antenna available from a
local stockist can be connected.
If you wish to receive medium wave stations, connect the
loop antenna supplied to the terminal marked
“LOOP ANTENNA” (11).
INSTALLATION
CONNECTING SOURCE EQUIPMENT
Connect the outputs on source equipment with the inputs on the receiver. The output sockets on source equip-
ment are usually indicated by “Line Out”, “Audio Out” or “Front Out”. You will find information about ways
to connect source equipment in their operating manuals.
CONNECTING THE ANTENNA
Remove plastic protective covers
Before installation, the plastic
protective caps must be removed
from all the sockets used.
Connections
Mechanically identical cinch plugs are available
for connecting all inputs and outputs. Make sure
that you do not get these
connections confused
during installation!
Connection quality
Make sure that all plugs fit tightly.
Inadequate connections can
cause noise interference,
failures and malfunctions.
RCA Connection
Make sure that you do not mix up the analogue
inputs for right and left. The cinch plugs for these
are frequently colour coded
as follows: red for the right
channel, black or white for
the left channel.
Connections loudspeaker
The use of ready-made loudspeaker cables is
recommended instead of connecting the cable's
central wire (litz wire) directly to the terminals.
Banana plugs or cable lugs ensure high security
from short-circuits and damage to the loudspeakers
or the receiver.
Ensure that bare loudspeaker wires are never able
to come into contact with each other or with the
metal on the back of the housing.
Only connect one loudspeaker wire to each loud-
speaker terminal!
Make sure that the positive and negative loud-
speaker wires are connected correctly. You will
notice a reduced sound quality if the connections
are the wrong way round.
Signal and speaker cables
Only use loudspeakers with a nominal impe-
dance of at least 4. To make the most of the
components' sound potential, only high quality
loudspeakers and connecting cables, for ex-
ample Vincent cables, should be used.
Your local stockist will be glad to advise
you about this.

FOR SPECIAL ATTENTION:
To use a record player you need a so-called equaliser preamplifier (also called a phono pre-
amplifier), which is installed in the signal path between the record player and one of the
high-level inputs. Some models of record player already include this preamplifier and can be
connected directly. You will find further information in this appliance's operating manual.
