English
Audio inputs
Although the inputs are labelled for specic devices, all
have the same characteristics and each may be used with
any line-level product. e exception is the PHONO (MM)
input (see page12 for the specication).
AV
Intended for the analogue outputs from general audio-
visual equipment, such as a VCR or digital TV/satellite
receiver
PVR
Intended for the analogue outputs from a Personal
Video Recorder, or similar device.
BD
Intended for the analogue outputs from a Blu-ray or
DVD-player.
SAT
Intended for the analogue outputs from a satellite TV
receiver or cable TV box.
TUNER
Intended for the analogue outputs from an FM, AM or
DAB radio tuner.
CD
Intended for the analogue outputs from a CD player.
AUX
is is a 3.5mm analogue input on the front panel
intended for use with devices such as MP3 players. To
connect an MP3 player (or other portable audio device)
you will need a 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable connected
between the
AUX input and the headphone output socket
of the player.
Phono input
Phono-level input
e A19 provides a pre-amplication stage to treat
the low-voltage output from a MM (moving magnet)
cartridge. Input specications are given on page12.
Output volume is shown on the front display as
PHONO 20, for example.
Line-level phono input
e phono input may be changed from phono-level to
line-level. Press the front panel PHONO and BALANCE
buttons simultaneously and use the control knob to
change the setting. e front panel display shows
LINE- OFF (i.e. phono) or LINE- ON respectively.
If you wish to use an external phono amplier, connect
its output to the
PHONO (MM) input, but make sure that
LINE- ON is selected, since a phono amplier produces
line-level input.
With the input dened in this way, output volume is
shown on the front display as LINE 20, for example.
Record output
e A19 is equipped with an audio recording loop
which may be used with recording devices such as a CD
recorder, DAT recorder, cassette recorder, VCR or PVR.
Connect the
RECORD OUT output socket to the input
socket of your recording device (usually labelled RECORD
or IN).
To record from a particular source, press the appropriate
source button (for example,
TUNER).
Pre-amplifier output
To use your A19 as a dedicated pre-amplier, or as part
of a bi-amp’ed system, connect the PRE OUT sockets to
the input sockets of your power amplier.
See page9 for connection details and see page12 for the
output specication.
