For all connections, ensure that the left channel of the source is connected to the left (upper) channel of the WAKONDA and the right channel of the source is connected to the right (lower) channel of the WAKONDA. We recommend using high-quality leads such as Linn interconnect cable. Linn interconnect cable is directional and should be connected such that the arrow points from the source component towards the

WAKONDA.

CONNECTING A TURNTABLE If your WAKONDA is equipped with the optional phono stage, your retailer will have set it for your type of cartridge. The back panel will be marked MM for

moving magnet cartridges, or MC for moving coil cartridges. If you change your cartridge type the WAKONDA can be easily modified by your retailer.

Attach the earth connection of the tonearm lead to the binding post above the phono inputs. Connect the tonearm lead phono plugs to the phono inputs.

If your WAKONDA is not equipped with a phono stage, it will be marked AUX2.

CONNECTING OTHER SOURCES The WAKONDA has either five or six identical line-level inputs, depending on whether the optional phono stage is present. They are marked TUNER, CD, AUX1, TAPE1 IN, TAPE2 IN and AUX2 (if present). Connect them up appropriately, using AUX1 and AUX2 for sources such as TV and video.

CONNECTING TAPE RECORDERS You can connect up to two tape decks to a WAKONDA. The TAPE1 IN sockets on the amplifier should be connected to the output of tape deck 1 (for playback) and the TAPE1 OUT socket should be connected to the line input of tape deck 1 (for recording). Tape deck 2 should be connected to the TAPE2 sockets in the same way.
