Issue 4: 2
nd
October 2006
STARTING
Once all connections are made, switch on the unit, using
the POWER button on the power supply front panel, a
blue
POWER
LED will light on the power supply and
the
X-T100
indicating that the units are on. Speaker
outputs are muted, for about fifteen seconds, and the red
mute LED will be lit, so no sound will be heard from
your speakers. This is to allow time for the valves to
warm up and settle. Once the fifteen seconds is up, the
mute LED is extinguished and sound output is now
enabled.
VOLUME
The volume control knob, in the centre of the front
panel, should be adjusted for normal listening levels.
PHONO INPUT
To use the
PHONO
input, connect your turntable
cartridge outputs to the
PHONO
input sockets (see p.5).
Pressing the
PHONO
button selects the corresponding
input. The unit is designed to accept Moving Magnet
(MM) cartridges of about 2.5-5mV nominal output
MUTE
Pressing the
MUTE
button disables the output to the
speakers. The red
MUTE
LED lights to indicate this
state. Press the button again to cancel and restore output.
RECORDING
To record, to any format of your choice, simply select
the required source with the input selector button on the
front panel or remote control. This source will now be
routed to the X-T100
TAPE
OUT
for recording by tape
deck, cd recorder DAT, minidisk, or computer
soundcard input. You will also be able to hear the
selected source through the loudspeakers.
Note - adjustment of the volume control has no effect on
the recording level.
AUX 1

AUX1
input, connect your external source to
the
AUX1
input. Pressing the
AUX1

in the form of a 3½ mm jack PDI (Portable Device Input)
socket to enable personal/portable devices such as MP3
players and minidisk walkman to be played thorough the
unit.
TIP:
For best listening experience using your portable
device, we recommend you set its outputs for “line level”
use, as opposed to “headphones”, if the option is
available. Please refer to your portable device’s manual,
for more details
Note: Please note the sockets PDI at the front and
AUX1 at the back are electrically connected together:
If the front PDI socket is used, please ensure you
disconnect any devices and wires connected to the rear
AUX1 connectors.
If the rear AUX1 connectors are used, please ensure
you disconnect any devices and wires connected to the
front PDI socket
Failure to do so could result in equipment failure.
