A tape deck can be connected for recording as follows: left chan ­
nel input of the tape deck to TAPE A "L" REC jack, right channel
input of the tape deck to TAPE A "R" REC jack.
f your tape deck is equipped with a D N connector, connect it to
the "TAPE A" REC/PLAY connector with a D N connecting cord.
AD N connector enables recording and playback with this single cord.
Note: When a D N cord is used for connecting to the tape deck, the PLAY and REC jacks
should not be used.
Sound cannot be heard when the SPEAKERS switch on the front
panel is set to the A+B position and only one pair of speaker system
is used with connections made either to "A" speaker terminals or "B"
speaker terminals.
When connecting the speaker leads to the speaker
terminals, make sure that the bare wire strands at the ends of the
speaker leads don't touch each other or adjacent terminal.
Use the TUNER terminals for connection to an FM stereo or
AM-FM stereo tuner.
Connect the left channel of the tuner to the "L" TUNER input
jack and the right channel of the tuner to the "R" TUNER input jack.
The two shielded audio cables from your stereo turntable are
normally terminated with phono plugs. Connect the left channel of
the turntable to the "L" PHONO input jack and the right channel to
the "R" PHONO input jack.
f the turntable has a grounding wire, connect it to this amplifier's
GND terminal to avoid hum.
High level AUX input jacks are for miscellaneous sources, such as
extra tape decks, additional tuners and/or receivers, TV sound outputs,
and other external components.
SPEAKER CONNECTING AND SPEAKER SWITCH
n connecting only one set of speakers, connect the right speaker
to right speaker terminals and left speaker to left speaker terminals of
"A" speaker terminals.
Should plus or minus of either right or left
channel be reversely connected, sounds at the center section will be
adversely affected by lack of separation. To connect additional set of
speakers, connect right speaker to right speaker terminals and left
speaker to left speaker terminals of "B" speaker terminals.
