zInput Balanced terminal

This terminal is to connect the components which have balanced outputs i.e. CD Player.

When Bi-Amping, terminal B can not be used. Balanced terminal → p5

xInput CD, Line 1, Line 2, Recorder (Unbal- anced) terminal

This terminal is to connect the unbalanced terminals of components., i.e. CD etc.

When Bi-Amping, terminal B can not be used.

mID No. switch

Whilst several SC-7S2 are connected, to set up respective ID No. to distinguish each products.

When only 1 unit is used, the No. will be set 1. Initial set- ting is <1>.

This switch is to give ID numbers to each SC-7S2, when two or more are used. When using only 1, SC-7S2 the ID switch is set to 1. Factory setting is 1.

Trim adjustment in case of several units of SC-7S2 → p18 If using 2 or more SC-7S2s, you can use the trim Adjust- ment.

See page 18.

cRec out terminal

The terminal connects to the Input of Recording equip- ment i.e. CD Recorders, Tape Recorder etc.

When Bi-Amping, the signal being input to channel A, will be output to both A & B channels.

vPre out Unbalanced 1,2 terminal

This connects to the un balanced inputs of a Power Amp. When Bi-Amping, the signal being input to channel A, will be output to both A & B channels.

bPre out Balanced terminal

This terminal is connected to the Balanced input of the Power Amplifier. When Bi-Amping, the signal being input to channel A, will be output to both A & B channels.

nF.C.B.S. In/Out terminal

These terminals are for connecting one or more SC-7S2s to each other. The IN is for receiving control signals. The OUT is for sending Control signals.

,Mode switch

The switch to change Stereo mode and Bi-Amp mode. Initial setting is <stereo>.

•In case SC-7S2 is used for normal 2 channel. Setting <Stereo> mode.

•In case of complete Bi-Amp connection with 2 units of SC-7S2.

Setting <Bi-Amp> mode.

In case of <Bi-Amp> mode, the signal input from A channel will be out to both of A/B channels through Pre- out terminal and Rec out terminal.

Then, input terminal on B channel can not be used.

This switch is to switch between Stereo & Bi-Amp Mode. Factory setting is Stereo. Stereo is used for using only 1 SC-7S2. If using 2 or more SC-7S2s, you will set the switch to Bi-Amp Mode. When Bi-Amping, the signal being input to channel A, will be outputted to both A & B channels through the Pre-out & REC out terminals. The B input ter- minal can not be used in Bi-Amp Mode.

.AC IN socket

Connect to a household power outlet with supplied AC CORD.
