CONTROL FUNCTIONS AND CONNECTIONS

A B C

A

-Mute/Operate Switch

- In the mute position, this toggle switch
cuts off the signal to the outputs (F) of the SFP--1 hence muting the unit;
the LED (B) flashes as a reminder. In the operate mode, the outputs are
connected and the SFP-1 operates normally.

B

-Power Indicator LED

- This LED lights when the SFP-1 is on
and receiving power from the AC source. It will flash at one
second intervals during warmup delay and muting.

C

-Power Switch - This toggle switch, when in the ON posi-

tion, allows the SFP-1 to receive power, rendering the SFP-1
operational as indicated by the Power Indicator LED (B). When
the switch is in the OFF position the SFP-1 is not receiving
power and is not operational.

-Detachable Power Cord Socket - Plug the Detachable

Power Cord into this socket (see Figure 1). The SFP-1 is factory
set for the correct operating voltage for the area in which it is
sold (see shipping box for voltage setting). If a different operat­ing voltage is required, please contact an authorized Sonic
Frontiers dealer, distributor or the factory directly.

E

-AC Line Fuse- This is the AC fuse socket. It may be

accessed with a small slot screwdriver by turning a 1/2 turn
counterclockwise to unlock a spring that ejects the fuse holder
out. The unit is factory installed with a “fast-blo” 1.5 Amp
250V (0.25” x 1.25”) or 0.75 Amp 250V (0.25” x 1.25”)
for European and Asian versions.

F

- Left and Right Channel RCA Single-Ended Audio

Output Connectors - The SFP-1’s RCA single-ended
audio outputs are to be connected to the RCA single-ended
audio inputs of a line level preamplifier, control amplifier,
integrated amplifier or receiver. Left channel output of the
SFP-1connects to the left channel input of control unit and
right channel output of the SFP-1 to the right channel input
of control unit.

G -

Left and Right Channel RCA Single-Ended Phono
Stage Input Connectors- These inputs accept a single-

ended input connection from a turntable’s output connectors.
The turntable equipped with a Moving Coil or Moving Magnet
Cartridge (see operation section for proper setup) connects
to the SFP-1. Left channel output to the left channel input of
the SFP-1 and right channel output to the right channel input
of the SFP-1.

H

-Ground Post - All turntable ground wires should be connect-

ed to the SFP-1 ground post to prevent any “hum” from interfer­ing with the music signal.
