This connection limits the effects of signal interference between the high range speakers (tweeters) and low range speakers (woofers), allowing you to
enjoy high quality playback.
When bi-wiring with bi-wireable speakers, connect the mid and high range terminals to SPEAKER SYSTEMS A (or B), the low range terminals to
SPEAKER SYSTEMS B (or A).

NOTE
The earth terminal (SIGNAL GND) of this unit is not for safety grounding

purposes. If this terminal is connected when there is a lot of noise, the noise can
be reduced. Note that depending on the turntable, connecting the ground line
may have the reverse effect of increasing noise. In this case, it is not necessary
to connect the ground line.
The PHONO input terminals are equipped with a short pin-plug. Remove this

Explanation of terms
Sampling frequency
Sampling involves taking a reading of a sound wave (analog signal) at
regular intervals and expressing the height of the wave at each reading in
digitized format (producing a digital signal).
The number of readings taken in one second is called the “sampling
frequency”. The larger the value, the closer the reproduced sound is to the
original.
Linear PCM
This is an uncompressed PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) signal. This is the
same system used for CD audio but uses 192 kHz, 96 kHz, and 48 kHz
sampling frequencies on Blu-ray Disc or DVD and provides higher
resolution than CD.

Speaker impedance
This is an AC resistance value, indicated in Ω (ohms).
Greater power can be obtained when this value is smaller.
Source direct
Playback with higher fidelity to the source becomes possible, as input
audio signals are output by bypassing the audio quality-control circuits
(BASS/TREBLE/BALANCE).
Protection circuit
This is a function to prevent damage to devices within the power supply
when an abnormality such as an overload, excess voltage occurs or over
temperature for any reason.
