Parasound P 3 - Manual (Page 11)

CONNECTING AN EXTERNAL SIGNAL PROCESSING
COMPONENT TO THE P 3 EXTERNAL LOOP JACKS
You can connect signal-processing equipment such as a frequency-shaping equalizer into the signal
path of the P 3 via its
External Loop Connections. See External Loop In/Out Connections in the
Technically Speaking section for more information.
What You’ll Need:
• Two pairs of shielded interconnect cables with RCA plugs
• A signal-processing component
Before Connecting
Remove power to all the components in your audio system.
Remove the two U-shaped metal jumpers that are already inserted into the External
Loop Out and External Loop In jacks. Make sure to save these jumpers and put them
where you can locate them if you need them in the future.
To Connect
Plug a cable into the Left Loop/Out jack on the P 3.
Plug the other end of this cable into the left input jack on the signal-processing component.
Repeat for the right channel.
Plug a third cable into the Left Loop/In jack on the P 3.
Plug the other end of this cable into the left output jack on the signal-processing component.
Repeat for the right channel.

YOU SHOULD KNOW
Your system cannot function if the U-shaped jumpers are removed and a component is not
connected to the P3
Loop/Out and Loop/In jacks. If you misplace the jumpers, you can substitute
a pair of shielded cables to reconnect the P3 Loop/Out and Loop/In jacks for each channel.
