A - MAINS FUSE - Depending on your local power outlet's voltage, replace with 3A SLO-

BLO fuse (120 V) or 1.5A SLO-BLO fuse (230V).

B - IEC MAINS SOCKET - Standard IEC mains socket (120/240 VAC as indicated)

C - MAIN OUTPUT - Main left and right outputs driven by 300B's. Connect these to your

power amplifier inputs when the amps are off.

D - SUBWOOFER OUTPUT - Same as Main Output.

E - RECORD OUTPUT - Set at input line stage level. These normally are connected to a tape

recorder's inputs. The signal is "picked off" the input selector and before
the volume control. It is a good idea to disconnect any wires connected to
these jacks when not recording to prevent extra loading and cable
capacitance from affecting the best possible performance.

F - TUNER INPUT - Connect your tuner outputs here.

G - AUX INPUT - This is where you plug your Aux in - no, not your cattle. "Aux" stands for

Auxilliary and basically means "extra", so this is just an extra input for
any other source that we didn't label or you have two of. Any of the input
jacks can be used with any Hi-Fi RCA outputs, as they are electrically
identical and only differ in how we labeled them.

H - VIDEO INPUT - Audio actually, from a DVD, Laserdisk, TV, VHS, or BetaMax (or, um,

whatever's current...) player's audio output.

I - CD INPUT - Plug in your audio outputs from your CD player or D/A Converter here.

J - TAPE INPUT - Tape machine outputs can be connected here. Be very careful - If the tape

machine inputs are connected to the preamplifier's RECORD OUTs and
the preamp is switched to TAPE and the tape machine is set to monitor
"INPUT" or you start to record - beware the dreaded squeal and howl of
feedback! One quick "cure" is to not select "TAPE" on the rotary input
selector if these other conditions are met.
