CONNECTIONS
CAUTION：
Before making connections, be sure to switch
the power to all components off.
Notes
●
For connection between the DAC-10 and digital equipment, use a 75-ohm coaxial cable or
optical fiber cable.
●
For analog input/output connections, use shielded audio cables and take care not to mix up
left and right channels.
●
Do not make connections to a component with balanced and unbalanced cables at the
same time. Otherwise ground loops may occur, which can cause noise.

WARNINGS
●
This set relies on cooling with a natural flow of air between the ventilation
holes on the top and bottom. When installing the set, leave at least 10 cm of
space at both sides, the top and the back to allow for normal ventilation.
●
Do not place any object containing liquid (vases, flower pots, bottles with
cosmetics or chemicals, etc.) on top of the unit. If a spill occurs, there is a risk
of fire and electric shock.
●
If there is a problem with the unit or if malfunction occurs, always disconnect
the power cord from the AC outlet! This is absolutely essential, because simply
setting the power switch to OFF will not completely separate the unit from the
AC source.

PARTS AND FUNCTIONS
POWER – Power Switch
1
Depress this switch to turn on the amplifier. Push once more to release
the switch and turn the amplifier off. For an interval of about 6 seconds
after power is turned on, there will be no sound from the speakers, due to the
action of the muting circuit.
SPEAKER – Speaker Selector
2
Serves to select two pairs of speakers connected to the “A” and “B”
speaker terminals.
OFF
Both speaker pairs are turned off, for example for headphone listening.
A, B
The respective speaker pair is active.
A + B
Both pairs of speakers are driven simultaneously. In this case, use speakers
with a rated impedance of 8 ohms or more, as both sets are connected in
parallel.
This position is also used for biwiring a single set of loudspeakers (using
separate cables for the low frequency range and mid/high frequency range).
EXT PRE – Preamplifier/Power Amplifier Separation Selector
3
This selector permits using the preamplifier section and the power
amplifier section of the E-213 separately.
OFF:
Normal operation. Preamplifier and power amplifier are not separated.
ON:
Preamplifier and power amplifier are separated.
Note
m Do not operate the selector during playback. Always turn the volume
fully down before setting the selector to ON or OFF.
m
m The E-213 does not have preamplifier output jacks.
RECORDER – Recorder Selector
4
REC OFF
Select this position during normal operation (when not recording). The amplifier
reproduces the selected program source, but the signal is not sent to the
“REC” outputs.
SOURCE
Select this position when wishing to record. The amplifier reproduces the
selected program source, and the signal is sent to the “REC” outputs.
PLAY
Select this position to reproduce the signal from a recorder connected to the
RECORDER “PLAY” inputs on the rear panel.
MONO – Mono/Stereo Mode Button
5
This button selects stereo or monophonic operation. When the button
is engaged, both channels are combined and the same signal is fed
to the left and right speakers. If the listening position is at approximately equal
distance from the speakers, the sound image should be centered.
m Button engaged: MONO
m Button disengaged: STEREO
Note
When the MONO position is selected, the recording outputs are also
switched to a monophonic signal.
COMP – Loudness Compensator Button
6
This button serves to restore natural tonal balance at low listening
levels. The human ear becomes less sensitive to frequency extremes
as loudness decreases. This often causes the sound to be perceived as thin
or deficient, especially in the bass range. The COMP switch makes up for this
effect by boosting the low range (+6 dB at 200 Hz).
✽ This boost is applied at a –30 dB setting of the volume control. When you
turn up the volume control, the compensation is automatically reduced.
m Button engaged: ON
m Button disengaged: OFF
TONE, BASS, TREBLE – Tone Controls
7
TONE – Tone Control On/Off Button
m
m Button engaged: ON
m Button disengaged: OFF
✽ When the button is set to ON, the BASS and TREBLE controls can be
used.
✽ When the button is set to OFF, frequency response will be flat, regardless
of the setting of the BASS and TREBLE controls.
BASS – Bass Control
Turning this control to the right from the center (0) position boosts the low
frequency range, and turning the control to the left attenuates it.
m Turnover frequency: 300 Hz
m Adjustment range: ±10 dB at 50 Hz
TREBLE – Treble Control
Turning this control to the right from the center (0) position boosts the
upper frequency range, and turning the control to the left attenuates it.
m Turnover frequency: 3 kHz
m Adjustment range: ±10 dB at 20 kHz
BALANCE – Balance Control
8
This control serves to adjust the left/right stereo balance.
mm
m Normally, the control should be left in the center (0) position.
m
ATTENUATOR – Attenuator Button
9
This button serves to quickly reduce the output level of the amplifier.
The attenuation level is –20 dB.
m Button engaged: ON
m
m Button disengaged: OFF
PHONES – Headphone Jack
10
Stereo headphones can be plugged into this jack.
✽ When wishing to listen with headphones only, set the SPEAKERS selector
to OFF.
✽ Adjust the listening level with the main volume control.
✽ Use headphones with an impedance between 8 and 100 ohms.
Note
If the EXT PRE selector is set to “ON” to separate the preamplifier and
power amplifier, the signal at this headphone jack comes from the power
amplifier section. Therefore the volume should be adjusted at the connected
external preamplifier.
INPUT SELECTOR – Input Selector
11
Serves to select the various program sources connected to the rearpanel inputs. The corresponding buttons on the remote control RC-23
can also be used.
TUNER, CD, LINE
Select components connected to the conventional unbalanced inputs on the
rear panel.
LINE-BAL
Select components connected to the balanced inputs on the rear panel.
OPTION
Component connected to the option board in the OPTION slot on the rear
panel.
m
m See the section “Option Boards” in these instructions for more information.
✽ This rotary selector has no marking or end stopper (it can be turned
continuously).

Power Meters (peak reading type)
12
The meter scale indicates the output level in dB (decibel) and is also
calibrated in watts for an 8-ohm load. With a 4-ohm load, the figures
must be doubled, and with a 16-ohm load halved. Output levels with a sinewave signal for various loads are shown below.
Output indication
(dB/%)
0 dB: 100 % 180 W 90 W 45 W
–10 dB: 10 % 18 W 9 W 4.5 W
–20 dB: 1 % 1.8 W 900 mW 450 mW
–30 dB: 0.1 % 180 mW 90 mW 45 mW
–40 dB: 0.01 % 18 mW 9 mW 4.5 mW
The meters are peak-reading designs, which enables them to precisely follow
the rapid changes in amplitude and frequency that are common with music
signals. To make for easier reading, the decay time of the meters is set to a
lower value than the rise time. If the program source contains noise or a large
amount of transients, the meter indication and the aural volume impression
may differ slightly.
Remote Sensor
13
The infrared signals from the supplied remote commander RC-23 are
received by this sensor. When using the remote commander, point
the transmitter in the direction of this sensor.
VOLUME – Volume Control
14
Turning this control clockwise increases the volume level. The control
can also be operated with the remote commander RC-23.
Caution: When changing the setting of the EXT PRE selector ON/OFF,
when changing program sources, and when turning the power on and
off, the volume control should always be fully turned down.
INPUTS: TUNER, CD, LINE – Line-level Inputs
15
These inputs are conventional unbalanced line-level input jacks.
4-ohm load 8-ohm load 16-ohm load
SPEAKERS A, B – Speaker Terminals
19
Two pairs of speakers can be connected to the A and B terminals.
✽ Use speakers with a rated impedance of 4 to 16 ohms.
✽ When driving both sets of speakers simultaneously, use speakers with
a rated impedance of 8 to 16 ohms.
✽ For a biwiring arrangement, connect the cables for the low frequency range
and mid/high frequency range separately to terminals A and B.
AC Inlet
20
Insert the supplied power cord into this connector and plug the other
end into an AC outlet.
RWARNING
m Do not use the unit with any other than the supplied power cord.
m The shape of the AC inlet and the plug of the supplied power cord depend
on the destination country of the unit. Using any other type of cable
except the supplied power cord poses the risk of fire and damage.
m This product is available in versions for 120/230 V AC. Make sure that
the voltage shown on the rear panel matches the AC line voltage in your
area.
m Opening the unit involves a severe risk of electric shock.
m If the unit does not operate, the internal fuse may have blown. Never
attempt to replace the fuse yourself. Be sure to contact your Accuphase
dealer or an authorized service station.
LINE INPUTS (BALANCED) – Balanced Inputs
16
These inputs are conventional balanced high-level input jacks.
The pin assignment of the connectors is as follows.
Make sure that the source component uses the same pin assignment.
A: Ground
B: Inverted (–)
C: Non-inverted (+)
Balanced cables are available from Accuphase.
RECORDER – Recorder REC/PLAY Jacks
These jacks serve for connection of a recorder.
17
“PLAY” jacks Ù LINE OUT jacks of recorder
“REC” jacks Ù LINE IN jacks of recorder
✽ The output signal at the REC jacks is not affected by the volume and
compensator settings of the amplifier.
✽ Keep in mind that when the MONO button is engaged, the recording output
will be monophonic.
POWER IN – Power Amplifier Input Jacks
18
POWER IN (EXT PRE IN)
These jacks permit using the power amplifier section separately.
m When the EXT PRE selector has been set to “ON” for separating the
preamplifier and power amplifier of the E-213, these jacks serve as power

PLAY jacks Ù LINE OUT jacks of recorder
Playback
To hear the playback sound, set the RECORDER selector to the PLAY position
and start playback at the recorder.
✽ For playback only, a recorder may also be connected to any other line input
of the E-213.
Recording
For recording, perform the following steps.
A Select the desired program source with the INPUT SELECTOR and check
that it is reproduced properly over the loudspeakers.
B Set the RECORDER selector to “SOURCE”. The signal of the selected
program source is now supplied at the recording outputs of the amplifier.
C Start the recorder. The sound heard over the loudspeakers is now recorded
on the recorder.
D The volume, attenuator, tone control, and compensator settings of the
amplifier do not affect the recording output. The volume can therefore be
turned all the way down if desired. The recording level must be adjusted
with the input controls of the recorder.
E By setting the RECORDER selector to the PLAY position during recording,
the actual sound as recorded on the tape can be monitored (when using a
three-head tape recorder).
Note
When the MONO button is set to ON (monophonic mode), the recording output
will also be monophonic.
Set the INPUT SELECTOR to the required position and perform the same
steps as described for CD playback. After tuning to the desired station, adjust
the listening level with the VOLUME control.
Tuner Recording While Power Is Off
While power to the E-213 is off, the signal from the TUNER inputs is always
connected to the RECORDER REC outputs, regardless of the INPUT
SELECTOR and the RECORDER selector settings. Therefore it is possible to
carry out unattended recording of the source connected to the tuner inputs
with a timer even without turning on the amplifier.
Note
Do not turn power to the E-213 on while unattended recording is in progress.
If you turn the E-213 on, the muting circuit will become active and the
recording output signal will be interrupted. Before turning power on, verify
that any recording that was carried out is completed.

of some cartridges may vary, the final setting
should be determined by ear.
m The S3 switch affects both the left and right
channels.
This filter has a cut-off frequency of 25 Hz and a
steep attenuation slope of –12 dB/octave. It cuts
off unwanted subsonic signal components without
affecting the audible range. Removing subsonic
noise components is useful for example to stop
excessive woofer excursions caused by record
warps, turntable rumble, etc.
m Be sure to set both the S4 and S5 switches to
the same position.

NOMENCLATURE ET FONCTIONS
POWER – Interrupteur d’alimentation
1
Appuyer sur cet interrupteur pour mettre l’amplificateur sous tension.
Appuyer à nouveau sur l’interrupteur pour l’éteindre. Pendant un
intervalle d’environ 6 secondes après la mise sous tension, aucun son n’est
émis des enceintes, à cause de l’activation du circuit de sourdine.
SPEAKER – Sélecteur d’enceinte
2
Sert à sélectionner deux paires d’enceintes connectées aux bornes
d’enceinte “A” et “B”.
OFF
Les deux paires d’enceintes sont désactivées, par exemple pour l’écoute par casque.
A, B
La paire d’enceinte respective est activée.
A + B
Deux paires d’enceintes sont entraînées simultanément. Si cela se produit,
utiliser des enceintes ayant une impédance nominale de 8 ohms ou plus, car
les deux paires sont connectées en parallèle.
Cette position est également utilisée pour le bicâblage d’une simple paire
d’enceintes (utilisant des câbles séparés pour les gammes de fréquences
basses et une autre pour les fréquences moyennes/hautes).
EXT PRE – Sélecteur de séparation du préamplificateur/
amplificateur de puissance

Remarque
Lorsque la position MONO est sélectionnée, les sorties d’enregistrement
sont également commutées sur mono.
COMP – Touche de compensation physiologique
6
Cette touche sert à restaurer l’équilibre de tonalité naturelle aux
niveaux d’écoute faibles. L’oreille humaine devient moins sensible
aux fréquences extrêmes lorsque la compensation diminue. Cela crée
souvent une perception de son faible ou déficiente, en particulier dans la
gamme des basses fréquences. La touche COMP compense cet effet en
améliorant la gamme inférieure (+6 dB à 200 Hz).
✽ Cette accentuation est appliquée à un réglage de –30 dB de la commande
de volume. Lorsque le niveau de volume est augmenté, la compensation
est réduite automatiquement.
