CONNECTIONS

3.The Left and Right channel RCA outputs are labeled on the

back panel. The balanced outputs are not labeled. The balanced connector closest to the Left RCAoutput is the left channel output and the connector closest to the RCAright output is the right balanced output. Care should be taken to insure that the channel

orientation between the Processor and the high level inputs of

your preamplifier is maintained.

4.Connect the digital output of your CD transport and other

digital sources to the inputs of the REFERENCE64. If you are using multiple digital sources, take note of where each input and corresponding switch setting is located.

The REFERENCE64 is equipped with the following inputs: two

coaxial, one AT&Twide bandwidth fiber optic, one TOSH fiber optic, and one AES/EBU. All inputs can accept a signal from any

digital source such as Compact Disc players, Laser Disc players,

DATs or satellite receivers. The REFERENCE64 is also equipped

with a single AT&Tand single coax digital tape return input.

When a powered digital source is introduced to an input and that input is selected with the specific Input switch, the corresponding signal LEDwill illuminate.

5.Once you have completed the necessary input and output

connections, select the input of your choice. For each input

selected, the corresponding LEDwill illuminate to indicate which

input is active (or has been selected). You will know if the input selected is active by observing if one of the frequency input LEDs

is

illuminated.

If a

CD transport

is

selected

 

the

44.1

KHz LEDwill

be lit.
