Thank you for purchasing this DENON Pre-main
Amplifier. Please read the operation instructions
thoroughly in order to acquaint yourself with the pre-main
amplifier and achieve maximum satisfaction from it.
CAUTION
1. Handle the power supply cord carefully
Do not damage or deform the power supply cord. If it
is damaged or deformed, it may cause electric shock
or malfunction when used. When removing from wall
outlet, be sure to remove by holding the plug
attachment and not by pulling the cord.

Service Station List ……………………………………1
1. HC-TR output circuit for both subtlety and power
A single push-pull circuit using an HC-TR (high current
transistor) based on the same principles as the UHC-
MOS used in the POA-S1, DENON’s top grade
monaural power amplifier, achieves both stable a high
current supply and excellent low level signal linearity.
The result is an extremely high level of both subtlety
and power.
2. Strong power circuitry supporting the expressive
abilities of the HC-TR output circuit
The strong power circuitry consisting of high speed
rectifier diodes and large high sound quality block
condensers allow the HC transistor output circuit to be
used to its maximum potential.
3. S.L.D.C.
The PMA-201SA uses an S.L.D.C. (Signal Level Divided
Construction) with the ideal separation of the different
circuits (low level signal circuit, high level signal circuit,
microprocessor circuit, etc.)
4. Source Direct function for improved sound quality
The PMA-201SA is equipped with a source direct
function that bypasses the bass, treble, loudness and
balance control circuits to achieve a simple signal path,
contributing to keeping the sound pure.
5. System remote control unit
The PMA-201SA comes with a system remote control
unit that can be used to control the different
components in the 201SA series (CD player, MD
recorder, CD recorder, cassette deck and tuner, when
used system connections only).
6. Low standby power consumption
The power consumption when the power is in the
standby mode is reduced to 1W or less.

2 BEFORE USING
Read the following before using the set.
•
Before turning on the power
Check again that all connections are correct and that
there are no problems with the connection cords. Be
sure to unplug the power cord before connecting or
disconnecting the connection cords.
•
Moving the set
To prevent short-circuits or damage to the connection
cords, always unplug the power cord and disconnect
the connection cords between all other audio
components when moving the set.
•
Store this instructions in safe place
After reading, store this instructions along with the
warranty in a safe place. Also fill in the items on the
back paper for your convenience.
•
Illustrations in this manual
Note that some of the illustrations used for
explanations in this manual may differ from the actual
set.
3 CAUTIONS ON INSTALLATION
Noise or disturbance of the picture may be generated if
this unit or any other electronic equipment using
microprocessors is used near a tuner or TV.
In this happens, take the following steps.
• Install this unit as far as possible from the tuner or TV.
• Set the antenna wire from the tuner or TV away from
this unit’s power cord and input/output connection
cords.
• Noise or disturbance tends to occur particularly when
using indoor antennas or 300
Ω
/ohms feeder wires.
We
recommend using outdoor antennas and 75
Ω
/ohms
coaxial cable.
For heat dispersal, leave at least 10 cm of space
between the top, back and sides of this unit and
the wall or other components.
4 CAUTIONS ON HANDLING
•
Switching the input function when input jacks are
not connected
A clicking noise may be produced if the input function
is switched when nothing is connected to the input
jacks. If this happens, either turn down the VOLUME
control or connect components to the input jacks.
Please be sure to unplug the cord when you leave
home for, say, a vacation.
