CONNECTING A SOURCE COMPONENT TO THE UNBALANCED DIRECT 1 INPUTS ON THE P 3

Left and Right Direct 1 Unbalanced Inputs

If your best-sounding audio source component has only unbalanced RCA output jacks, connect them to the P 3 unbalanced Direct 1 input jacks.

What You’ll Need:

•One pair of shielded interconnect cables with RCA plugs

•A source component with RCA output jacks

Left

Right

RCA Plugs

Before Connecting

Leave the P 3’s AC cord disconnected until you have made all connections to prevent any surprise burst of sound.

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

Make sure the Direct 1 Select switch on the P 3 is in its unbalanced (right) position.

To Connect

1Plug one end of the first cable into the right Direct 1 input jack on the P 3.

2Plug the other end of this cable into the right channel output jack on the source component.

3&4 Repeat steps 1 and 2 for the left channel.

YOU SHOULD KNOW

To achieve the purest sound reproduction, the tone control and record outputs don’t function for Direct Inputs 1 and 2. Therefore, you cannot alter the tone or make recordings from components that are connected to the Direct inputs.
