Precautions when making connections
o After completing all other connections, plug the power plug into a power outlet.
o Read the owner's manuals of all devices that will be connected, and follow their instructions.
The polarity of the XLR connec-
tors can be set so that either 2 or
3 is HOT (page 26).
When connected to an amplifier
capable of volume adjustment,
set the analog audio output
level setting (L_VOL>) of the unit
to FIX, and use the amplifier to
adjust the volume (page 29).

Connect an R connector on this unit to an R connector on the
amplifier, and connect the corresponding unit L connector to
the corresponding amp L connector.
