Rear panel parts
GND terminal (For turntable use)
Connecting the ground wire of the turntable to the GND
terminal will normally minimize hum, but in some cases
better results may be obtained with the ground wire
disconnected.
PRE OUT/MAIN IN terminals
Removing the jumper pins from the PRE OUT/MAIN IN
terminals enables this unit to operate separately as a
control amplifier and a power amplifier. These terminals are
used for connecting 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 terminals, the
VOLUME control of this unit can be used for adjusting the
overall sound level.
To connect an external unit, first remove the jumper pins
from the PRE OUT/MAIN IN terminals, and then connect
the input terminals of that unit to the PRE OUT terminals
and its output terminals to the MAIN IN terminals. For
details, refer to the owner’s manual included with the unit to
be connected.
Notes
When you do not use the PRE OUT/MAIN IN terminals,
never remove the jumper pins from these terminals. If
removed, no sound will be outputted from this unit.
When you use this unit with an external unit connected to
the PRE OUT and MAIN IN terminals, make sure that the
CD/DVD DIRECT AMP switch and the PURE DIRECT
switch on the front panel are turned off.
When you use this unit as a power amplifier, connect the
output terminals of an external control amplifier etc. to
this unit’s MAIN IN terminals. In this case, this unit’s
controls will not function except the PHONES jack and
the SPEAKERS switches. Use the controls on the
external control amplifier to make volume adjustment etc.
