Important – read before making any audio
connecons
To avoid possible damage to your amplier, it is essenal to
disconnect all system components from the mains supply
before connecng or disconnecng audio interconnects.
Connecng Analogue Audio Sources
Analogue Inputs 1-6 are available for the connecon of
stereo analogue audio sources including -
• Analogue output from CD/DVD Players
• Analogue output from DAB or FM Radio tuners
• Phono pre-amplier for a turntable
• Televisions
• Analogue Satellite Receivers
• Analogue Tape/Disc recorders
• Cyrus surround decoder
The factory set input names for some of the inputs are pre-
set as follows:
Input 1 – CD
Input 2 – Tuner
Input 3 – Cyrus AV (for a Cyrus AV surround processor)
Input 6 – Tape
All inputs may be re-named, but for convenience you may
prefer to connect these sources to the pre-named inputs.
Analogue Input 6 is recommended for connecon of Tape
Recorders. This input is not selectable for recording purposes
to avoid howl-round with Tape Recorders, nor is it available
to play in a Zone 2 system.
To connect an Analogue Audio source to your amplier,
connect a stereo audio interconnect cable between each
component and the sockets as marked on the rear panel.
Ensure le and right channels are correctly connected.
Make a note of the input number used for each source as
the inputs can be re-named at the set-up stage.
Connecng a Turntable
To play a turntable through your unit an external phono pre-
amplier is required. This may then be connected to one of
the Analogue inputs.
Digital Audio Inputs
Connecng digital audio sources
The digital audio inputs are compable with a number of
dierent digital audio sources. These include-
• PC or MAC computer via a USB cable
• Digital Audio output from a CD player
• Digital Radio
• DVD players (for replay of 2 channel PCM programs
only)
• Digital Satellite receivers (for replay of 2 channel PCM
programs only)
• Digital tape/disc recorders
Using a suitable Toslink opcal or Digital phono interconnect,
connect each digital audio source to one of the inputs 7-10.
Make a note of the input number used for each source as
the inputs can be re-named at the set-up stage.
Connecng USB audio sources
The USB audio input 11 may be used to connect the audio
feed from a computer. Using a suitable USB cable, connect
the USB output from the computer to the USB input 1@.
NOTE: The USB Audio input is congured for USB slave
operaon and is not suitable for connecon of USB drives or
other ash media.
