OUTPUT TERMINALS

Connections for preamplifiers or integrated amplifiers are provided to the left of the rear panel. Connections are available for analog single ended (RCA type), and balanced (XLR type) cables, as well as SPDIF digital output. Note that the only time the analog outputs are ‘live’ is when the Compact Disc player is playing a track. The SPDIF output is live any time the Compact Disc player is switched on.

GROUND LIFT SWITCH

This switch allows the signal ground to be disconnected from the chassis. In some installations a hum loop may exist due to duplicate ground paths from different equipment. Use this switch to remove the connection from 0V to ground thus allowing some flexibility in your particular set-up.
