uMain amplifier inputs

(L, R, SL, SR, SBL, SBR, C)

When the jumper plugs that link the preamp outputs with these inputs are removed, these jacks may be used to connect an external source to the internal amplifiers.

Notes:

• When connecting equipment, remove the attached

jumper plugs and store them carefully so as not to

lose them.

• Only remove the jumper plugs when required.

After you finish using an main amp input jack,

replace the jumper plug.
