Connecting to External Components
The RS100 connection instructions below, together
with the Connection Diagram below (single chan-
nel) is an example of connecting optional external
components. Your external components may vary
from this, however the actual components would
be connected in a similar manner.
Analog Audio Connections:
1. Connect a cable(s) from the RS100 AUX INput
to the external SACD/CD Transport unbal-
anced audio output jack.
Note: For Stereo Operation between the
RS100s (Left and Right Channels) and
the SACD/CD Transport two jacks are
required.
2. Connect a cable(s) from the RS100 SUBwoofer
OUT to the external Powered Subwoofer input
jacks (Left and Right Channels).
Note: If the Powered Subwoofer has only one
input jack, use a "Y" Adapter to connect
the outputs from both RS100's to the
single input jack.
3. Connect the supplied AC Power Cord between
the AC Socket on the Rear Panel of the RS100
to a live AC outlet (that is always On).
