Connect the outputs of the source appliances to the inputs (13) of this amplifier. The output sockets on the
source equipment 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.
You can connect up to six devices with analogue RCA stereo high level output such as a CD player in order
to provide the audio signals of your input sources to the system. All six inputs represent electrically equivalent
standard high level inputs with RCA connection. They have an identical function and differ only in name.
To use a record player you need a so-called phono preamplifier (also called an equaliser 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 con-
nected directly. You will find further information in this appliance’s operating manual.
The stereo sound of appliances that use output connectors other than RCA (DIN plugs, jack
plugs) can often also be used with the aid of adaptors.

CONNECTION OF A RECORDING DEVICE
If you want, you can use the RCA sockets “REC OUT” (11) on the back of the appliance to connect an
analogue stereo recording device (e.g. CD recorder, cassette recorder etc.) or another appliance that is
intended for receiving the unchanged, fixed stereo output level (line level) from the signal source selected
on the amplifier at any given time. The output level is independent of the Volume setting, the Loudness
function and the Tone control (BASS, TREBLE, TONE). Please note that while the preamplifier is muted (17)
the recording output is switched off.
Connect this signal output to the signal input (“LINE IN”, “TAPE IN” or “REC IN”) on the recording appli-
ance using RCA cables. Please note that some recording equipment can have a slightly detrimental effect
on the audio signal quality. Some recording devices have rather low input impedance, which can slight-
ly alter the input signal voltage. For maximal music enjoyment we recommend that you connect to the
“REC” terminal only for as long as the recording is actually being made.
