1. Important instructions before use
1.1. Mains supply
Your BASF D 6160 HiFi Receiver is supplied
from the factory for use at 220 volts/50 Hz.

3. Rear connections and controls
When connecting your BASF D 6160 HiFi
Receiver to other equipment via the Cinch
sockets, please take care not to confuse the left
and right channels (red = right.)
(1) AUX
Any source with a high-level output can be
connected to this stereo input, e. g. cassette
and tape recorders, record players with a
crystal/ceramic system or a second tuner. In
each case, the equipment connected can be
switched in by setting the SELECTOR switch
(29) in the AUX position.
In case you want to duplicate from one set to the
other, you must connect your Tape- or
Cassette-Recorder to sockets AUX. The re-
cording set must be connected either to
sockets “Tape Rec A“ or “Tape Rec B“.
(2) PHONO
Record players with a magnetic pick-up system
should be connected to the PHONO. If your
record player has an earth connection, please
plug this in to the GND socket (ground, 3).
(3) GND (ground)
This socket serves to reduce the hum which
may occur in conjunction with a record-player.
Connect the chassis or earth socket of your
record-player to the GND socket.
