Please read this manual thoroughly before making connections and plugging in the unit. Following the instructions in this manual will enable you to obtain optimum performance and listening enjoyment from your new Integrated Amplifier. Please retain this manual for future reference. En Introduction WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPARATUS TO RAIN OR MOISTURE. WARNING RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT OPEN AVIS RISQUE DE CHOC ELECTRIQUE NE PAS OUVRIR CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK). [. . . ] ■ Remote Control You can use the integrated amplifier’s remote controller to control your other u-capable Onkyo Network Tuner or RI Dock, pointing the remote controller at the integrated amplifier’s remote control sensor instead of the component. En 20 Connecting a Turntable Integrated Amplifier A-9070 MM/MC selector L R AUDIO OUTPUT Turntable without a built-in phono preamp Use the MM/MC selector on the back of the integrated amplifier to select either MM or MC, in accordance with the cartridge format of the turntable. Remove the short pins plugged into the jacks before connecting a turntable to the PHONO inputs. Note • Always turn off the integrated amplifier before switching between MM and MC. Tip • If your turntable has a built-in phono preamp, you can connect the turntable to other analog inputs such as LINE IN 1. • If your turntable has a ground wire, connect it to the GND screw. With some turntables, connecting the ground wire may produce an audible hum. If this happens, disconnect it. Connecting a Cassette Tape Deck Integrated Amplifier A-9070 L AUDIO OUT R Cassette tape deck Tip • Connect your cassette tape deck to either of the following jacks: LINE IN 1/2/3. En 21 Connecting a Recording Component Important: • Unless you have the full consent of the copyright holder, copyright laws prohibit using your recordings for anything other than personal enjoyment!• Do not change the integrated amplifier’s input while recording. Doing so will cause the audio from the selected component to be recorded. Note • Volume adjustments and use of the muting function are not reflected in the signal output from LINE OUT. • Manual tone adjustments using BASS -/+, TREBLE -/+, BALANCE L/R, and TONE/BAL are not reflected in the signal output from LINE OUT. • See the manual of the recording component for instructions on correct use. Integrated Amplifier A-9070 L AUDIO IN R Cassette tape deck En 22 Using the Integrated Amplifier as a Preamplifier The integrated amplifier can be used as a preamplifier (Pre mode). This mode keeps the heat down, as opposed to when the integrated amplifier is used as a pre-main amplifier. • To use this mode, you need to change the “ROUTE” setting (➔ page 39). Integrated Amplifier A-9070 Power Amplifier M-5000R En 23 Separating the Pre-amp and Main Amp Units You can use the integrated amplifier’s pre-amp and main amp units individually (Split mode) to connect a sound processor such as a graphic equalizer between the pre-amp and main amp units. Important: • Always turn the integrated amplifier off before connecting the MAIN IN jacks. • To use this mode, you need to change the “ROUTE” setting (➔ page 39). Integrated Amplifier A-9070 L INPUT R L OUTPUT R e. g. , graphic equalizer Note • Depending on the sound processor used, noise may be produced upon switching the integrated amplifier on and off. In this case, turn on each device in the following sequence: sound processor, integrated amplifier. Turn off each device in the following sequence: integrated amplifier, sound processor. En 24 Using the Integrated Amplifier as a Power Amplifier Combined with a preamplifier of your choice, the integrated amplifier can be used as a power amplifier (Main mode). See “Connecting Your Speakers” for connection information (➔ page 13). Important: • Always turn the integrated amplifier off before connecting the MAIN IN jacks. • Before setting the integrated amplifier to Main mode, make sure that no component such as a CD player is connected to the MAIN IN jacks, as a direct connection may cause a massive blast sound and damage the integrated amplifier or your speakers. • This mode can be used with the following limitations: – The volume level can’t be adjusted. • To use this mode, you need to change the “ROUTE” setting (➔ page 39).

[. . . ] In this case, plug the power cord in a way that provides the best sound quality. Do not install the integrated amplifier in a place with vibration or an unstable location. • Plug the power cord into an AC wall outlet. Audio There’s no sound. • Make sure the integrated amplifier’s volume control is not set to minimum (➔ page 27). • While headphones are connected, the speakers and PRE OUT output no sound (➔ page 31).
