[See Figure 2 for typical system connection illustration.]
Most power amplifiers have RCA-type input connectors that are
compatible with the outputs of the RQ-970BX. Connect a set of
cables between the outputs of the RQ-970BX and one of the line
level inputs of the amplifier. As always, use high quality cables
and be sure to connect the Left and Right channel outputs of the
RQ-970BX to the correct channels of the amplifier.
Troubleshooting
Most difficulties in audio systems are the result of incorrect con-
nections, or improper control settings. If you encounter problems,
isolate the area of the difficulty, check the control settings, deter-
mine the cause of the fault and make the necessary changes. If
you are unable to get sound from the RQ-970BX, refer to the sug-
gestions for the following conditions:
Power Indicator Is Not Lit
The Power Indicator should be lit whenever the RQ-970BX is
plugged into the wall power outlet and the power switch is turned
on. If it does not light, test the power outlet with another electrical
device, such as a lamp. Be sure the power outlet being used is not
controlled by a switch that has been turned off.
No Sound
Be sure the phonograph is functioning properly. Check the wiring
from the back of the phono cartridge to the phonograph tone arm.
Make sure the cables from the phonograph to the RQ-970BX in-
puts are connected properly. Be sure the input selector on the
control preamplifier (or integrated amplifier or receiver) is set to
the proper input. Check all the other components in the signal
path for power and proper operation. If the system has a separate
preamplifier and power amplifier, check the wiring between them.
Also check the wiring between the speaker outputs and the
speakers.
