CONNECTING A SURROUND CONTROLLER TO THE UNBALANCED INPUTS ON YOUR A 52

Ch 1-5 Unbalanced Inputs

Use these inputs if your surround controller doesn’t have balanced output connectors or if you simply prefer to use unbalanced connections.

RCA Plugs

What You’ll Need:

Five shielded interconnect cables with RCA plugs

A surround controller with five RCA output jacks

Before Connecting

Leave the AC cord on the A 52 disconnected until you have made all other connections to prevent any surprise burst of sound.

Make sure that all your cables are long enough so they are not pulled or stretched once they are connected.

Make sure the Balanced-Unbalanced Inputs selector switch on the A 52 is in its Unbalanced (lower) position and the Ground switch is in its Normal (lower) position.

To Connect

1Plug one end of the cable into the Unbalanced Ch 1 Input jack on the A 52.

2Plug the other end of the cable into the unbalanced output jack for the channel on your surround controller that you wish to correspond to Ch 1 on your A 52.

3 0 Repeat steps 1 and 2 for Ch 2, Ch 3, Ch 4, and Ch 5.

YOU SHOULD KNOW

Write Down Your Connections

Make a note of which channel on your surround controller now connects to each channel of the A 52 so you’ll always hear the channels in their intended position and to facilitate trouble-shooting in case you encounter a problem later on.
