Note:

•Do not change the INPUT SELECT switch setting when the RDA-7.1 is turned on.

•Make sure that connections have been made only to the inputs selected with the INPUT SELECT switches and nothing is connected to the other ones.

+ OUTPUT – (Speaker output) (Binding post)

The RDA-7.1 is equipped with high-current binding posts for use at output terminals to the speaker system. To obtain the best in sound quality from the RDA-7.1, we recommend the use of high-quality speaker cables.

For each channel, connect the negative output post to the negative input terminal of the speaker and the positive output post to the positive input terminal of the speaker.

Make the connections following the procedure given below.

Warning

Before replacing the fuse or making any electrical connections, always turn off the Power and disconnect the Power cord.

12V TRIGGER IN/OUT

Connect the 12V TRIGGER IN jack to AV controller that have a 12V TRIGGER output jack, such as the RDC-7.1. This jack works on between 5 to 12 volts DC. With the Power switch of the RDA-7.1 set to On, you can switch the RDA-7.1 between the On and Standby states with operations at the AV controller.

If you want another component to be activated by turning on and off the AV controller connected to the 12V TRIGGER IN jack of the RDA-7.1, then connect the 12V TRIGGER input jack of that component to the 12V TRIGGER OUT jack of the RDA-7.1. In this state, even if the RDA-7.1 is turned off, the signal from the AV

controller passes through the RDA-7.1 and goes out the 12V TRIGGER OUT jack. Daisy chaining is also possible using these jacks.

Use φ1/8-inch (3.5-mm) monaural-type mini-jack connectors or supplied stereo mini-plug cable. The tip polarity of the connector is positive.

AC INLET

Be sure to read “Phasing your speaker system” and “Speaker ratings” on page 12.

Caution

•Do not connect any devices other than speakers to these terminals. Also, never short-circuit the output from these terminals.

•Be sure not to mistake the positive and negative outputs or the left and right speakers. Doing so will result in an unnatural sound space.

•Only connect speakers with an impedance of 4 ohms or greater. If a speaker with an impedance of less than 4 ohms is connected, it may damage the RDA-7.1.

•Do not connect more than one speaker cable to one output terminal. Doing so may damage the RDA-7.1.

Fuse

The RDA-7.1 uses a 250V AC slow-blow (time lag) main fuse. To replace the fuse, insert a coin or similar object into the groove, turn it to the left, and remove the fuse. Replace only with the same type and same rating. The correct fuse rating will differ depending on the voltage of your set as given here.

Plug the supplied Power cord into this AC INLET and then into the Power outlet on the wall,

•Do not use a Power cord other than the one supplied with the RDA-7.1. The Power cord supplied is designed for use with the RDA-7.1 and should not be used with any other device.

•Never have the Power cord disconnected from the RDA-7.1 while the other end is plugged into the wall outlet. Doing so may cause an electric shock. Always connect by plugging into the wall outlet last and disconnect by unplugging from the wall outlet first.

Ground

If connecting the unit to another equipment causes noise such as a hum, you may improve the reproduced sound quality by connecting this terminal to the grounding terminal of the connected equipment with a lead wire.
