BEFORE making any signal connections and applying power
to the PRE.
1 SINGLE-ENDED AUDIO INPUTS
Accepts right-channel and left-channel audio signals from source equip-
ment with single-ended (RCA) outputs. Traditional single-ended audio
inputs are provided for a total of three components, designated: cd2,
tuner,
and tape1.
Connect the right-channel and left-channel single-ended outputs of your
various source components to the corresponding inputs on the PRE.
2 TAPE2/SSP INPUT
This single-ended audio input may be used either as a conventional in-
put for a second tape deck or as a dedicated surround sound processor
loop. In the latter case, the front left and right outputs of your surround
sound processor would be routed to the tape2/ssp input and passed
through the PRE at unity gain (that is, with no change in volume), re-
gardless of the volume control setting of the PRE.
The ssp function gives the outboard surround sound processor control
over the volume of all the loudspeakers (including those normally con-
trolled by the PRE) when it needs that control. Returning the system to
two-channel stereo operation is then as simple as selecting a different
input. (See “Using Surround Sound Processors” for more information.)
