Connection Steps
Follow these steps to connect the Evolution 505 to your system.
1. Make sure all power sources and components are off before connecting inputs
and outputs.
2. Neatly organize the wiring between the Evolution 505 and all system compo-
nents. Separate AC wires from audio cables to prevent hum or other unwanted
noises from being introduced into the system.
3. Remember that balanced outputs use three-pin XLR connectors. Single-ended
outputs use RCA connectors. Maintain the correct left/right orientation of these
outputs.
4. To play an SACD, you need to use the analog audio outputs. Digital audio out-
puts are only available for conventional compact discs.
For multi-channel SACD (
SACD MULTI), two-channel SACD (SACD STEREO), and
conventional compact disc playback, connect the Evolution 505 multi-channel
analog audio outputs to the surround preamp/processor multi-channel inputs.
All multi-channel analog audio outputs are available in the
SACD MULTI format.
The center (C), subwoofer (SW) and surround (SL, SR) multi-channel outputs
are not available in the CD or SACD formats. The left (L) and right (R) multi-
channel outputs are always active.
5. For two-channel and conventional compact disc playback only, connect the
Evolution 505 balanced analog audio outputs or the left (L) and right (R) multi-
channel outputs to the pr
eamplifier balanced or single-ended analog audio
inputs.
6. For conventional compact disc playback only
, connect the Evolution 505 digital
coaxial output or digital optics output to the corr
esponding pr
eamp/pr
ocessor
digital input.
7. Plug the AC power cord into the IEC power connector on the back panel. Then
plug the AC power cord into the wall socket.
