Explanation terms

B
Bi-wiring connection
This method of connecting a speaker by using two speaker cables enables separate transmission of treble and bass signals.
This enables playback with minimal interference between the high-range speaker unit and the low-range speaker unit.
M
MM/MC cartridge select
There are two types--MM (Moving Magnet) and MC (Moving Coil)--of cartridges for turntable.
As the output levels for these two types of cartridges differ, the setting of the phono equalizer that is mounted in this unit must be switched according
to the type of cartridge for your turntable. For switching, use the MM/MC cartridge select button.
P
Protection circuit
This is a function to prevent damage to devices within the power supply when an abnormality such as an overload, excess voltage occurs or over
temperature for any reason.
If a malfunction occurs in this unit, the power indicator blinks red and the unit switches to standby mode.
S
Source direct
Playback with higher fidelity to the source becomes possible, as input audio signals are output by bypassing the audio quality-control circuits (BASS/
TREBLE/BALANCE).
Speaker impedance
This is an AC resistance value, indicated in Ω (ohms). Greater power can be obtained when this value is smaller.
