BALANCED 1/HT input
To use the
BALANCED 1/HT
input as a standard input, connect balanced source outputs to the
BALANCED
1/HT
input XLR sockets (see page 7). Select the

To use the
BALANCED 1/HT
input as an HT input, move the
BAL/HT
switch to the HT position. This input is
now unaffected by the volume control, allowing volume control on an external Home Theatre processor to be
used directly. Connect Home theatre or other source outputs to the
AUX

input by pressing the
BALANCED 1/HT
button so
BALANCED 1/HT
LED is lit.
IMPORTANT: Take great care when using the input in HT mode. Ensure that the volume control is turned right
down on the HT processor when first setting up. The HT mode is designed for sources which require their own
volume control to be used. Connecting sources in HT mode with no volume control could result in damage to
hearing and/or speakers due to uncontrolled loud sounds.

To use the
BALANCED 2
input, connect balanced source outputs to the
BALANCED 2
input XLR sockets (see

handset (see page 8).
TAPE MONITOR button and TAPE OUT
To record to tape, CD recorder, DAT, minidisk or computer soundcard analogue input, connect the tape out to
the recorder line in. Press the input selector button on the front panel or remote control. This source will now be
routed to the M8 PREAMPLIFIER
TAPE OUT

The recording can be directly monitored through the loudspeakers by pressing the
TAPE MONITOR
button so
the
TAPE MONITOR LED is lit
. Press again to return back to the original input being listened to (and
TAPE
MONITOR
LED is out again).
On some 3 head tape decks there is an additional tape/source switch which should be in the 'TAPE' position for
this to work. If in doubt, please consult tape deck operating manual.
Note – the M8 PREAMPLIFIER volume control has no effect on the TAPE OUT signal.
