Making Connections

Phono/Unbalanced Inputs

Unbalanced Inputs such as the two PHONO
INPUTS and UNBALANCED INPUTS 1 and 2
use RCA/phono cables to connect the C8 to other
components. See "Figure 05– RCA/Phono Plugs"
on page 9. Traditionally, the red connector is
used to connect the right channel. You are free to
break tradition but keep the channels straight or left
and right might be reversed.
