CONNECTION OF A STEREO PREAMPLIFIER OR THE FRONT CHANNELS OF A MULTI-CHANNEL SYSTEM

This stereo amplifier is equipped with a main amplifier input ("LINE5"), also known as "unity gain input". Input signals to this bypass the internal preamplifier stage and are treated as preamplifier output signals. That is why this amplifier can accept the output signals of a preamplifier or the front channel preamplifier outputs of a home cinema system (AV receiver or AV preamplifier). Volume control as well as Balance and Muting can not be achieved at the SV-234 when using the input "LINE5". These functions must be opera- ted at the device connected to this input.

If the input "LINE5" has been selected, the amplifier SV-234 acts like a stereo power amplifier. If you want the amplifier SV-234 to automatically switch on/off every time the HiFi component connected to "LINE5" is switched on/off, the power control cable connections subsequently described must be applied.

Please leave the input connector "LINE5" unused if you do not wish to use the amplifier SV-234 just as a power amplifier.

CONNECTIONS FOR THE STANDBY CONTROL

(POWER CONTROL)

Many AV-Systems consist of a multitude of individual components. To avoid the necessity of switching them on and off before and after every use, many manufacturers have equipped their devices with what is known as "POWER CONTROL" circuit or "TRIGGER". This kind of remote-controlled standby circuit is used primarily for preamplifier and power amplifiers. To employ these functions, direct or indirect cable connections must be made between the preamplifier (or integrated amplifier) and all the devices which support this function. The “POWER CONTROL” function operates in such a way that each switching on or off of one device in the system (usually the preamplifier) automatically brings about the switching on or off of all the connected devices which support this function. Please keep in mind that all devices which respond to the power control are not disconnected from the mains network when switched off. They are set to a standby state instead. For connecting cables, two-core cables with 3.5 mm jack plugs (mono) are used. For each connection between two devices one of those cables is needed.
