BEFORE MAKING CONNECTIONS
It is always wise to ensure that all AC power cords of
the various components that you are interconnecting
are unplugged from the wall outlets during the hook-
up process. This will prevent any inadvertent damage
to your speakers or amplifiers from incorrect control
settings or connections.
BASIC OUTLINE
The C-03 is a pre-amplifier, and as such is the control
center of your sound reproduction system. However,
for a complete function stereo system, a power ampli-
fier to drive your speakers must be connected to the
C-03, and a record player, tape/OAT recorder, VCR,
tuner, etc. must be connected to the inputs of the
C-03. Thus, the connections of these components will
form the basis for your sound reproduction system.
CONNECTING A POWER AMPLIFIER
The C-03 is equipped with two sets of output jacks.
Using a set of pin plug cords, connect the output jacks
of the C-03 to the input jacks (INPUT) of your power
amplifier, taking care not to confuse the left and right
channels. (Use PRE-OUT A for normal stereo play-
back.) Using different pin plug cords for the left and
right channels facilitates easy checking of the unit
connections.
INTERCONNECTING LEADS (Patch Cords)
Be sure that left and right channel identification is cor-
rect when making interconnections. Most patch cords
are color coded with REO ends for the right channel
and BLACK or WHITE ends for the left channel, to
make this job easier.
In addition, all jacks on the rear of the C-03 have red
centers for right channel, white for left channel and
yellow for each video jack.
CONNECTION OF AUDIO AND VIDEO TAPE DECKS
One of the common problems in connecting tape/
video decks is confusing the LINE IN and LINE OUT
connections to the pre-amplifier, resulting in no output
even in the SOURCEmodes. To prevent this, always
connect the LINE OUT jacks of the deck to the MONI
(monitor) input jacks of the pre-amplifier and connect
the LINE IN jacks of the deck to the RECOUT (record
out) jacks on the pre-amplifier.
CONNECTION OF VIDEO EQUIPMENT
Follow the connection diagram carefully when con-
necting video equipment to the C-03. In addition, be
sure to read the owner's manuals of such equipment
fully, to ensure proper operation.
It is recommended that only the highest quality TV
monitor, Hi-Fi VCR, LO, etc. be used to complement
the high performance standards of the Luxman C-03.
CONNECTING THE RECORD PLAYER (TURNTABLE)
In addition to the audio lead connections, be sure to
always connect the ground wire from the player to the
GNO terminal (item #20) on the C-03.
When making connections, follow the connection dia-
gram referring also to the descriptions for items #20
through #30 on page 6, 7.
