Connecting a playback device
You can connect turntables, tuners, CD players and network audio players to this unit.
This unit is compatible with turntables equipped with a moving magnet (MM) phono cartridge. When you connect to a turntable with a low output moving
coil (MC) cartridge, use a commercially available MC head amp or a step-up transformer.
If you set this unit’s input source to “PHONO” and you accidentally increase the volume without having a turntable connected, you may hear a hum noise
from the speakers.
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

2. Is the set being operated as described in the owner’s manual?
3. Are the other devices operating properly?
If this unit does not operate properly, check the corresponding symptoms in this section.
If the symptoms do not match any of those described here, consult your dealer as it could be due to a fault in this unit. In this case, disconnect the power
immediately and contact the store where you purchased this unit.

o
SymptomCause / SolutionPage
Power is not turned on.

0
the unit, this unit automatically enters the standby mode. To turn off the Auto Standby mode, press the
SOURCE DIRECT button for 5 seconds or longer.
The protection circuit has been activated due to a rise in temperature within this unit. Turn the power off,
0
wait about an hour until this unit cools down sufficiently, and then turn the power on again.
Please re-install this unit in a place having good ventilation.-
0
Check the speaker connections. The protection circuit may have been activated because speaker cable
0
core wires came in contact with each other or a core wire was disconnected from the connector and
came in contact with the rear panel of this unit. After unplugging the power cord, take corrective action
such as firmly re-twisting the core wire or taking care of the connector, and then reconnect the wire.
Turn down the volume and turn on the power again.26

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.
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.
