■COUPLER jacks

Removing the jumper pins from the PRE OUT/MAIN IN jacks enables this unit to operate separately as a control amplifier or a power amplifier. These jacks are used to connect a signal-processing system such as a graphic equalizer or a surround-sound processor to this unit. If such an external unit is connected to these jacks, the VOLUME control of this unit can be used to adjust the overall sound output level.

To connect an external unit, first remove the jumper pins from the PRE OUT/MAIN IN jacks and then connect the input jacks of that external unit to the PRE OUT jacks or its output jacks to the MAIN IN jacks. For details, refer to the owner’s manual included with the external unit to be connected.

Notes

•When you do not use the COUPLER jacks, never remove the jumper pins from these jacks. If removed, no sound will be output from this unit.

•When you use this unit with an external unit connected to the COUPLER jacks, make sure that the CD DIRECT AMP button and the PURE DIRECT button on the front panel are turned off.

•When you use this unit as a power amplifier, connect the output jacks of an external control amplifier, etc. to the MAIN IN jacks of this unit. In this case, the controls of this unit will not function except the PHONES jack and the SPEAKERS A/B buttons. Use the controls on the external control amplifier to make volume adjustments, etc.

Select the switch position (left or right) according to the impedance of the speakers in your system.

Switch

Impedance level

position

If you use one set (A or B), the impedance of each speaker must be 6 Ω or higher.

Right

If you use two sets (A and B), the impedance of each speaker must be 12 Ω or higher.

If you use one set (A or B), the impedance of each speaker must be 4 Ω or higher.

Left

If you use two sets (A and B), the impedance of each speaker must be 8 Ω or higher.

Notes

•The Canada model cannot use two separate speaker sets (A and B) simultaneously when the IMPEDANCE SELECTOR switch is slid to the 6 Ω position.

•If this unit fails to turn on, the IMPEDANCE SELECTOR switch may not be fully slid to either position. If this is the case, slide the switch all the way to either position when the power supply to this unit is completely cut off.
