THE AUX INPUTS ON THE P 3

 

Connecting a Source Component to the Aux Inputs on the P 3

The P 3 has a single Aux input, but two pairs of Aux jacks for either a phono or a line level source. The Aux Select switch determines if you’ll hear the source connected to the Aux-Phonojacks or the source connected to the Aux-Linejacks.

It’s possible to use both pairs of Aux jacks, but this requires using the rear panel Aux Select switch when you want to switch from a phono to a line level source.

What You’ll Need:

•A turntable or other source component

•One pair of shielded interconnect cables with RCA plugs. Most turntables have these cables permanently attached

Before Connecting

Remove power to all the components in your audio system.

Move the Aux Select switch so it points left toward the Aux-Phonojacks.

3&4

Insert one of the turntable cable plugs into the P 3 right Aux-Phonojack.

Insert the other plug into the P 3 left Aux-Phonojack.

Connect the ground wire from your turntable to the P 3 Phono-GND(Ground) terminal. Unscrew the GND terminal post slightly and insert the bare end or spade lug of the turntable’s ground wire. Tighten the terminal post down firmly.

Connecting Another Source Component to the Aux Inputs on the P 3

Follow the same steps as when connecting a turntable with the following exceptions:

Move the Aux Select switch so it points right toward the Aux-Linejacks.

There is no separate ground wire for line-level source components.

To Connect

1Plug one end of the first cable into the right Aux-Lineinput 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.
