[. . . ] € Use RCA stereo cable for audio units except speakers. Speakers A CD player Tuner DVD player, etc. Speakers B y • The PHONO jacks are designed to connect a turntable with an MM cartridge. € Connect your turntable to the GND terminal to reduce noise in the signal. However, you may hear less noise without the connection to the GND terminal for some turntable(s). 6 En CONNECTIONS CAUTION • The IMPEDANCE SELECTOR must be set to the appropriate position before connecting one or two speaker sets. € Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other or do not let them touch any metal part of this unit. This could damage this unit and/or the speakers. € Do not connect this unit or other components to the main power until all connections between components are complete. 1 ■ Bi-wire connection Remove approximately 10 mm (3/8 in) of insulation from the end of each speaker cable and twist the exposed wires of the cable together to prevent short circuits. The outlet(s) supply power to any connected component whenever the power of this unit is turned on. Y You can turn on the power by pressing the button on the remote control if you set this unit to standby mode by pressing the button on the remote control. Adjusting the tonal quality ■ Using the CD DIRECT AMP switch Routes input signals directly to the power amplifier from your CD player, regardless of the INPUT selector setting. As a result, the input signals bypass the INPUT selector and the BASS, TREBLE, BALANCE and LOUDNESS controls. The gain is also adjusted appropriately for CD so that the purest possible sound is reproduced without any alterations to the CD signals. Lights up ■ Adjusting the BALANCE control Adjust the sound output balance of the left and right speakers to compensate for sound imbalance caused by speaker locations or listening room conditions. Notes • The BASS, TREBLE, BALANCE, LOUDNESS controls and INPUT selector do not function while the CD DIRECT AMP switch is turned on. € Be sure to connect the CD player to the CD input jacks if you use the CD DIRECT AMP switch. 10 En PLAYING AND RECORDING ■ Adjusting the LOUDNESS control Retain a full tonal range at any volume level, thus compensating for the human ears’ loss of sensitivity to high and low-frequency ranges at low volume. CAUTION If the CD DIRECT AMP switch (or the PURE DIRECT switch) is turned on with the LOUDNESS control set at a certain level, the input signals bypass the loudness control, resulting in a sudden increase in the sound output level. To prevent your ears or the speakers from being damaged, be sure to press the CD DIRECT AMP switch (or the PURE DIRECT switch) AFTER lowering the sound output level or AFTER checking that the LOUDNESS control is properly set. Recording a source Notes • The audio signals are not output via the LINE 2 REC or LINE 3 REC output jacks when LINE 2 or LINE 3 is selected with the REC OUT selector.
