Balanced

A symmetricalinput or output circuit that has equal impedancefrom both input terminals to a commongroundreference point. Theindus- try standardfor professionalandsoundrecordinginstallations, bal- ancedconnections have 6 dB moregain than single-ended connec- tions andallow the use of long interconnect cables. Balancedcon- nections are completely immuneto inducednoise from the systemor the environment.

Single-ended

A two-wireinput or output circuit. Usecare whenusing single-ended connectionsas the groundconnectionis madelast andbrokenfirst. Turn the systemoff prior to makingor breakingsingle-endedconnec- tions, Single-endedconnections are not recommendedfor connec- tions requiring long cableruns.

OPERATIONOff

Whenpowerbutton on the front panel or remotecontrol is pressed andthe blue powerLEDtumsoff, the componentis off.

Operational Mode

Whenthe powerbutton on the front panel or remotecontrol is pressedand the blue powerLEDilluminates, the componentis in the operational modeand ready to play music,
