Connect the outputs of the source devices with the inputs (10) of the amplifier. The output sockets on the
source equipment are usually indicated by “Line Out”, “Audio Out” or “Front Out”. You will find informa-
tion about ways to connect source equipment in their operating manuals.
Up to four line level stereo sources can be connected to these RCA inputs. The audio inputs “S1”...”S6”
(11) represent electrically equivalent standard line level inputs with RCA connection. They have an iden-
tical function and differ only in name.
To use a record player you need a so-called phono preamplifier (also called a equaliser pream-
plifier), which is installed in the signal path between the record player and one of the high-level
inputs. Some models of record player already include this preamplifier and can be connected
directly. You will find further information in this appliance’s operating manual.
The stereo sound of appliances that use output connectors other than RCA (DIN plugs, jack
plugs) can often also be used with the aid of adaptors.
CONNECTION OF THE SOURCE EQUIPMENT
You only need the “PRE OUT” sockets (13) if you want to use a separate stereo amplifier or two mono
amplifiers to supply two additional loudspeakers. This makes sense if you intend to use two more loud-
speakers for stereo music playback, for example in a separate zone (another room of your home). These
loudspeakers are then connected to the speaker outputs of the additional amplifier(s). The amplifier output
connections “PRE OUT” (13) must be connected with the input connectors of the main amplifier, in most
cases labelled “INPUT”, “POWER AMP IN” or “MAIN INPUT”.
Instead of the stereo main amplifier shown here you can alternatively use two mono main amplifiers.
