CONNECTING SPEAKERS
Connect the SPEAKERS terminals to your speakers with wire of the proper gauge, cut as short as possible. If the connections are faulty, no sound will be heard from the speakers. Make sure that the polarity of the speaker wires is correct, that is, + and markings are observed. If these wires are reversed, the sound will be unnatural and will lack bass. Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other and do not let them touch the metal parts of this unit as this could damage this unit and/or speakers.

One or two speaker systems can be connected to this unit. If you connect only one speaker system, connect it to either the SPEAKERS A or B terminals. Use speakers with the specified impedance shown on the rear of this unit. Banana Plug connections are also possible (except for Scandinavian models). Simply insert the Banana Plug connector into the corresponding terminal.
How to Connect: Red: positive (+) Black: negative ()

AC OUTLETS (SWITCHED)
(Europe and General models) . . . . . . . . . . . . 3 SWITCHED OUTLETS (Australia and U. K. models) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1 SWITCHED OUTLET Use these to connect the power cords from your components to this unit. The power to the SWITCHED outlets is controlled by this unit's POWER switch or the provided remote control transmitter's POWER key. These outlets will supply power to any component whenever this unit is turned on. The maximum power (total power consumption of components) that can be connected to the SWITCHED AC OUTLETS is 200 watts.
PRE OUT/MAIN IN terminals
Removing the jumper pins enables this unit to independently perform the functions of a control amplifier and a power amplifier. These terminals are for connection of a signalprocessing system such as a graphic equalizer or sound processor. If a sound processor or other component is connected, the VOLUME control of this unit can be used for overall adjustment of the level of sound. q VOLUME, BASS, TREBLE, BALANCE, LOUDNESS controls and PURE DIRECT switch settings have no effect on the material being recorded.

Adjusting the BASS and TREBLE controls
BASS : Turn this clockwise to increase (or counterclockwise to decrease) the low frequency response.
Adjusting the continuously variable LOUDNESS control
This control provides compensation for the human ears' loss of sensitivity to high and low-frequency ranges at low volume. This control is adjustable to retain full tonal range at any volume level.
TREBLE : Turn this clockwise to increase (or counterclockwise to decrease) the high frequency response.

Using the PURE DIRECT switch
You can enjoy the purest possible sound from your audio sources by setting this switch so that the indicator illuminates. By doing so, the audio signal bypasses the BASS, TREBLE, BALANCE and LOUDNESS controls, the SUBSONIC FILTER switch and the PRE OUT/MAIN IN terminals, eliminating any alterations to the audio signal.
Setting the PHONO switch
Select either MM or MC position depending on your PHONO cartridge, Moving Magnet or Moving Coil type. [. . . ] 75 dB CD/TUNER/TAPE/AUX (Input Shorted) (PURE DIRECT; ON) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 110 dB Residual Noise (IHF-A Network) (PURE DIRECT; ON)
