MAKING THE CONNECTION
It’s tempting to jus t plug in your new Pream plif ier T uner and have gr eat sound pour out. Bef or e you do that, take a
few minutes to plan out how you want the Preamplifier Tuner to fit into your audio system. Ask yourself the
following questions:
What source components do I want to connect to my Preamplifier Tuner? (CD, DVD, etc.)
What equipment will be receiving the audio? (Amplifier, Powered Speakers, etc.)
The answers to your questions determine how many cables you need to connect to the back of the Preamplifier
Tuner. Good preplanning equals great sound. Keep these recommendations in mind:
List all com ponents in your system and indicate which j ack s of the Pream plif ier T uner each component will be
connected to. Your Preamplifier Tuner has six sets of inputs. It is convenient to connect a DVD player to the
input labeled DVD or a VCR to the input labeled V1 or TAPE, etc. However, your equipment m ay differ from
the labeling on the back of your Pream plifier T uner. In m ost cas es you can connec t any type of source to any
input (see FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS). For example, if you have a satellite receiver you can
connect it to V2. You can also repr ogram the source nam e that will appear on your Pream plifier T uner’s front
panel. (See SETUP - SOURCE NAMES)
Also note the length of the cable for each component’s connection and describe how it should be routed or
draw your routing scheme below your list. You may want to label each cable with a name or number at both
ends. Use high quality connections to maintain high quality audio.
Think about the type and length of cable you need and obstacles in the cable’s path (doorways, furniture,
walkways, etc.). To decide which ones are right for you talk to your dealer about the various cable products
that are available.
For safety, keep all cables out of high traffic areas (hallways or doorways) and away from equipment that
radiates power, including amplifiers, power cords, heaters, etc.
If you might expand your audio system later, keep these ideas in mind as you plan current cable runs.
To provide the best tuner r eception, m ak e sure the antenna is at least s everal feet away from the Pream plif ier
Tuner and any other equipment that may produce high frequency interference such as Personal computers,
CD players, halogen lamps, etc.
Tak e a look at the back panel of the Pream plifier T uner. You will notice that the RCA- type audio input and output
connectors are identified by colors, red for right channel and white for the left channel audio.
