•
Connect a stereo audio interconnect cable between
each analogue source component and one of the
analogue input sockets ‘AN1 - AN4’.
Ensure left and right channels are correctly connected.

as the inputs can be re-named at the set-up stage.
The analogue inputs are compatible with the connection of
stereo analogue audio sources. These include-
Analogue output from CD/Blu-ray Players
Analogue output from DAB or FM radio tuners
Analogue output from a TV
Analogue tape recorders

Connecting a turntable
The PHONO/MM input is compatible with turntables fitted
with moving-magnet cartridges. The turntable will have a
cable with two plugs, and often a thin ground wire with a
tag.
•
Connect the plugs to the ‘PHONO/MM’ sockets on the
back panel. Connect the white plug to the left socket
and the red plug to the right socket.
•
Unscrew the ‘GROUND’ terminal then fasten the ground
wire (where fitted) under the terminal.
Digital audio inputs
•
Using a suitable Toslink optical or digital phono
interconnect, connect each digital audio source to one
of the inputs ‘DIG1 - DIG4’.
Make a note of the input number used for each source
as the inputs can be re-named at the set-up stage.
The digital audio inputs are compatible with a number of
different digital audio sources. These include-
Digital audio output from a CD player
Digital audio output from a TV
Digital audio output from a games console
Digital radio
Blu-ray players
Digital satellite receivers
Digital tape/disc recorders
NOTE: The digital audio inputs are only compatible with
2 channel PCM source material and will not reproduce
multi-channel surround sound.
USB audio input
The USB audio input may be used to connect the audio
feed from a Windows PC or Apple computer.
With a USB connection in place, DSD audio files can also be
played.
•
Connect a cable from a USB outlet of the computer to
the ‘USB B’ input.
To avoid possible damage to your audio system, it
is essential to disconnect all system components
from the mains supply before connecting or
disconnecting audio interconnects.
