Connections

Connections for all compatible audio signal format is described in
this operating instructions. Please select the type of connections
corresponding to the equipment you are connecting.
NOTE
•·Do· not· plug· in· the· power· cord· until· all· connections· have· been·
completed.
•·When·making·connections,·also·refer·to·the·operating·instructions·
of·the·other·components.
•·Be·sure·to·connect·the·left·and·right·channels·properly·(left·with·left,·
right·with·right).
•·Do·not·bundle·power·cords·with·connection·cables.·Doing·so·can·
result·in·humming·or·noise.
•·Do· not· turn· up· the· volume· without· a· turntable· connected· to· the·
PHONO·input·terminals.·Doing·so·will·cause·humming·or·noise.

Connecting the Audio Equipment

Cautions on playing SA sources:
When·regular·speakers·not·compatible·with·SA·sources·(DVD·Audio·discs,·Super·Audio·CDs·and·other·sources,·including·treble·components·
above·the·audible·range),·set·the·properties·of·the·player·(DVD·Audio·player,·Super·Audio·CD·player,·etc.)·for·use·with·regular·speakers·
(or·amplifiers).
The·speakers·may·be·damaged·if·the·volume·is·set·too·high·when·playing·SA·sources.·For·instructions·on·player·settings,·refer·to·the·

Connecting the Speakers

Connecting the Speaker Cables

Carefully· check· the· left· (L)· and· right· (R)· channels· and· +· (red)· and· –·
(black)·polarities·on·the·speakers·being·connected·to·the·PMA-A100,·
and·be·sure·to·connect·the·channels·and·polarities·correctly.
1
Peel off about 10 mm of sheathing
from the tip of the speaker cable, then
either twist the core wire tightly or
apply solder to it.
2
Turn the
counterclockwise to loosen it.

NOTE
•·Connect·the·speaker·cables·so·they·do·not·stick·out·of·the·speaker·
terminals.· The· protection· circuit· may· be· activated· if· the· wires·
touch·the·rear·panel·or·if·the·+·and·–·sides·touch·each·other·(v·
"Protection·circuit").
•·Never· touch· the· speaker· terminals· while· the· power· supply· is·
connected.·Doing·so·could·result·in·electric·shock.

Protection circuit
The·protection·circuit·is·activated·in·the·following·situations:
· •·If·the·speaker·cable·wire·touches·the·rear·panel·or·screws·or·if·
the·speaker·cable's·+·and·–·sides·are·touching
·•·If·the·surrounding·temperature·is·extremely·high
· •·If·the·inside·of·the·amplifier·gets·hot·to·extended·use·at·a·high·
output
If·this·happens,·unplug·the·power·cord,·then·check·the·connections·
of·the·speaker·cables·and·input·cables.·If·the·becomes·very·hot,·
wait·for·it·to·cool·off·and·improve·the·ventilation·around·it.·After·
doing·this,·plug·the·power·cord·back·in.
If· the· protection· circuit· is· activated· even· though· there· are· no·
problems·with·the·ventilation·around·the·set·or·in·its·connections,·
the·set·may·be·damaged.·Turn·off·the·power·and·then·contact·a·
