Headphones
To prevent malfunction
and/or damage to speakers
or other devices, always
turn down the volume, and
turn off the power on all
devices before making any
connections.
We recommend using a
stereo connection in order
to get the maximum
performance from the XV-
2020, but for monaural use,
make the connection to the
L (MONO) OUTPUT jack.
