CONNECTINGTO OTHER EQUIPMENT

When connecting to other pieces of equipment, please note the following:

The use of high quality interconnect cables to and from your amplifier is recommended to ensure the best sound quality. Your dealer will be able to recommend interconnect cables that are suitable for your system.

All the line inputs (except for the PHONO input) have the same sensitivity and may be used with equipment other than that labelled, if needed.

The C30 provides the following connections:

TAPE/PROC RECORD OUT 7– Connect these output sockets to the input sockets of your cassette deck (usually labelled RECORD on the cassette deck).

TAPE/PROC PLAY IN 8 – Connect these input sockets to the output sockets of your cassette deck (usually labelled PLAY on the cassette deck). If you do not have a cassette deck you can use this input for other (line level) equipment, such as a CD player, tuner, VCR, etc., (but not for a turntable).

VCR/TAPE2 RECORD OUT 9 – These output sockets can be connected to the input sockets of VCR (usually labelled RECORD on the VCR). Alternatively, these outputs can be connected to a second recording device (such as a second cassette deck).

VCR/TAPE2 PLAY IN bk – Connect these input sockets to the output sockets of your VCR/second recorder (the output sockets are usually labelled PLAY). Alternatively, you can use this input for other (line level) equipment such as a CD player, tuner, etc., (but not a turntable).

DVD bl – Connect this input to the stereo audio outputs of a DVD player.

AV bm – Connect this input to the stereo audio outputs of audio visual equipment such as a laserdisc player, satellite or Nicam tuner.

TUNER bn – Connect this input to the audio outputs of your radio tuner.

CD bo – Connect this input to the audio outputs of your CD player or DAC (digital to analogue converter).

AUX bp – As the C30 has the phono board fitted as standard, the AUX connection is a line level output carrying an equalised phono signal. If desired, this output can be connected to a recording device.

Should you wish to remove the phono board, then the AUX connections can be used as a line input. Please see your dealer for further information about this option, as removing the phono board yourself may invalidate the warranty.

PHONO bq – Connect this input to the audio outputs of your turntable. The phono module supplied with the C30 is compatible with most moving magnet and moving coil cartridges. Set the blue switch immediately below these connections to the correct setting, as follows:

MM– is used for high output moving coil and all moving magnet cartridges. The blue switch is flush with the rear panel of the C30.

MC – is used for low output moving coil cartridges.The blue switch is depressed inside the rear panel of the C30.

Phono earth terminal – For connecting your turntable earth lead (if fitted). Note that this terminal must not be used as a safety earth.

TRIG OUT and REMOTE IN 3 (12V in and out) – These connections are intended for use in multi-room installations.

TRIG OUT – This output provides a 12V signal whenever the unit is switched on (i.e., not off or in standby).This signal can be used to switch on automatically power amplifiers (or other equipment) connected to the C30, as they will come on when the C30 is activated.This is useful if the power amplifier is remote from the C30, or otherwise difficult to access. This feature can be used with both the P35 and the P1. If you are bi-amping with a power amplifier and wish to power both units on or off simultaneously, see page 11.

REMOTE IN – This allows remote control signals to be received by the C30 if the remote sensor is covered (or otherwise not ‘visible’ to the remote control). An external sensor is used to receive the signals from the remote control, which are then fed to the C30 (into this input) using a suitable cable. Remote control signals acceptable to the C30 must be in modulated RC5 format, with a voltage level of between 5V and 15V.

Note that in normal use there is no need to make any connections to these sockets. If you would like to make use of these features, please contact your dealer for more advice on how to make the connections and on what type of cable to use.
