CONNECTING THE LOUDSPEAKERS

STEREO PREAMPLIFIER OUTPUT

Take note of the correct polarity: the positive contact is usually red and often marked with “+”. The mar- ked lead on the loudspeaker cable must be connec- ted to the positive terminal. If you are using ready made loudspeaker cables with plugs, all you need do is connect the two plugs on each loudspeaker cable to the two terminals that belong to them.

Otherwise strip about a 1cm long piece from the insulation on each end of the loudspeaker wire. Twist the bare wire to prevent short-circuits. Turn the knob on the loudspeaker terminal anti-clockwise to loosen it and introduce the bare wire end into the open ter- minal hole. Then turn the knob clockwise to fasten the wire tightly in the loudspeaker terminal.

You only need the “PRE” sockets (15) if you want to

CONNECTING A RECORDING DEVICE

CONNECTING HEADPHONES

A set of headphones equipped with a 6.3 mm

pens, the system's loudspeakers and the “PRE”

least 32 Ohms can be used.

If you want you can use the “REC” cinch sockets (14) on the back of the appliance to connect an analogue stereo recording device (e.g. CD recorder, cassette recorder, video recorder) or another appliance that is intended for receiving the unchanged, set stereo output level (line level) from the signal source selected on the

receiver at any given time. The output level is indepen- dent from the volume, loudness and mute functions. To do so, connect this signal output to the signal input (RECORD or INPUT) on the appliance using cinch cables.

CONNECTING THE POWER CABLE

Check whether the wall socket provides the appro-

plied firmly into the power socket (23) on the back

priate mains power, which is the case if it is sup-

of the appliance. Plug the other end of the power

plied with 230 V AC 50 Hz. Push the plug for

cable into a mains socket.
