INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER L-509Z
19. Separate button (SEPARATE)
Separates the pre-amplifier and main-amplifier each other.
OFF (Separate indicator off):
Returns this unit to normal integrated amplifier mode.
ON (Separate indicator on):
Feeds external signals from the MAIN IN terminal on
the rear panel to the main-amplifier section.
• This button toggles the separate on and off.
The separate indicator lights up when separate on is
selected.
When the separate button is set to on, the volume con-
trol of this unit cannot adjust the volume of the speakers
connected to this unit. Volume adjustment should be per-
formed at the input device side such as a control amplifier
connected to the MAIN IN terminal.
Connection from direct output into the MAIN IN terminal
from a CD player or other devices which don’t have a vol-
ume control always provides full power and accordingly
there is a risk of speaker damage.
For such input devices, be sure to use a control amplifier
equipped with volume adjustment, begin feeding audio to
the speakers with the volume low and adjust the volume to
your preferred level. When connecting devices to this unit,
be sure to turn off the power to prevent damage.
