ENGLISH

1MP3, CD, Tuner/DAB, BD/DVD, Aux

These inputs are suitable for any 'line level' source equipment such as BD/DVD players, DAB or FM/AM tuners, CD players, MP3 players, etc.

Note: These inputs are for analogue audio signals only. They should not be connected to the digital output of a CD player or any other digital device.

2Record Out

These output sockets can be connected to a tape deck or to the analogue Record In sockets on a MiniDisc or CD recorder.

3Tape In

Connect to a tape deck or to the analogue output sockets on a MiniDisc, portable digital music player or CD recorder using an interconnect cable from the recorder's Line Out sockets to the amplifier's Tape In sockets.

The Tape Input circuit of the 350A is a ‘monitor’ type, different from the other six inputs. For the six normal inputs, the source selected for listening to will also be sent out of the Rec outputs for recording. The source currently being listened to and (optionally) recorded is then shown on the front panel by a corresponding blue LED.

However, when the Tape Mon Input is selected, the Tape Mon LED will also illuminate, indicating that the Tape Monitor Input is now being listened to with a different source being sent out of the Rec outputs for recording. The recording source is shown by the first LED and can be changed by pressing the other source buttons. To switch Tape Monitor off, simply press the Tape Mon button again, toggling this function off.

This feature is most useful when using three-head analogue cassette decks which allow the signal being recorded to be played back live off tape (via a third head) whilst it is simultaneously recorded. It is then possible, by toggling the Tape Monitor input on and off, to compare directly in real time the original and recorded signal so that adjustments to the recording parameters of the tape machine can be made. (Consult the manual of your three-head analogue cassette deck for full details).

4Loudspeaker terminals

Two sets of loudspeaker terminals are available, A (main loudspeaker terminals, left terminals) and B (secondary switchable loudspeaker terminals, right terminals). Connect the wires from your left channel loudspeaker to the LEFT positive and negative terminals, and the wires from the right channel loudspeaker to the RIGHT positive and negative terminals. In each case, the red terminals are the positive outputs and the black terminals are the negative outputs.

Care should be taken to ensure no stray strands of wire are shorting speaker outputs together. Please ensure that the loudspeaker terminals have been tightened adequately to provide a good electrical connection. It is possible for the sound quality to be affected if the screw terminals are loose.

The use of A and B speakers affords you an easy and inexpensive way to create a simple multi-room system.

Note: When using two pairs of speakers, use speakers with a nominal impedance of 8ohms.

5Mains voltage selector switch

Switches the mains voltage between 115V and 220-230V. For use by installer/dealer only.

6AC power socket

Once you have completed all connections to the amplifier, plug the AC power cable into an appropriate mains socket and turn the unit on. Your amplifier is now ready for use.
