Parasound A 51 - Manual (Page 6)

CONNECTING A SURROUND CONTROLLER
TO THE UNBALANCED INPUTS ON YOUR A 51
Ch 1-5 Unbalanced Inputs
Use these inputs if your surround controller doesn’t have balanced output connectors or if you
simply prefer to use unbalanced connections.
What You’ll Need:
• Five shielded interconnect cables with RCA plugs
• A surround controller with five RCA output jacks
Before Connecting
❑ Leave the AC cord on the A 51 disconnected until you have made all other connections to
prevent any surprise burst of sound.
❑ Make sure that all your cables are long enough so they are not pulled or stretched once
they are connected.
❑ Make sure the Balanced-Unbalanced Input Select switch on the A 51 is in its Unbalanced (right)
position and the Ground switch is in its Normal (down) position.
To Connect
1 Plug one end of the cable into the Unbalanced Ch 1 Input jack on the A 51.
2 Plug the other end of the cable into the unbalanced output jack for the channel on your
surround controller that you wish to correspond to Ch 1 on your A 51.
3 – 0 Repeat steps 1 and 2 for Ch 2, Ch 3, Ch 4, and Ch 5.

YOU SHOULD KNOW
Write Down Your Connections
Make a note of which channel on your surround controller now connects to each channel
of the A 51 so you’ll always hear the channels in their intended position and to facilitate
trouble-shooting in case you encounter a problem later on.
