on the destination country of the unit. Using any other type of cable except
the supplied power cord poses the risk of fi re and damage.
● This product is available in versions for 120/230 V AC. Make sure that
the voltage shown on the rear panel matches the AC line voltage in your
area.

Operation

R CAUTION
● Before making connections, be sure to switch the power to the E-350 and all other components off. Especially when plugging or
unplugging a cable in the POWER IN jacks, the power to the E-350 must be off.
● Do not operate the EXT PRE button during playback. Always turn the volume fully down before setting the switch to ON or OFF.
Before starting to use the unit, set the controls as follows.
● VOLUME:
● SPEAKER:
● RECORDER:
● COPY:
● MC/MM, MONO, COMP, EXT PRE, ATTENUATOR: OFF (LEDs out)
● BALANCE:
Listening to a CD player (via analog input)
Connect the analog output of the CD player to the CD (or TUNER or LINE) input
jacks on the rear panel. If the CD player has balanced outputs, it is recommended
to use balanced cables and connect them to the balanced CD/LINE INPUTS
connectors.
For playback, perform the following steps.
A Confi rm that the VOLUME control is turned to minimum. Then switch on the
CD player and the amplifi er.
Listening to radio broadcasts
Connect the output of the tuner to the TUNER (or CD or LINE) input jacks on the
rear panel. If the tuner has balanced outputs, it is recommended to use balanced
cables and connect them to the balanced LINE INPUTS.
Recording and playback with a recorder
Confi rm that the inputs and outputs of the recorder are properly connected to the RECORDER 1 or RECORDER 2 jacks on the rear panel of the E-350.

Playback
Set the RECORDER selector to "1" (or "2") and set the recorder to the playback
mode. The sound will be heard via the E-350.
✽ For playback only, a recorder may also be connected to any other line input of
the E-350.
Recording
For recording, perform the following steps.
A Select the desired program source with the INPUT SELECTOR and check that
it is reproduced properly over the loudspeakers.
B Set the RECORDER selector to "SOURCE". The signal of the selected program
source is now supplied at the recording outputs of the amplifi er.
C Start the recorder. The sound heard over the loudspeakers is now recorded
on the recorder.
D The volume, attenuator and tone controls, or compensator settings of the
amplifi er do not affect the recording output. The volume can therefore be turned
all the way down if desired. The recording level must be adjusted with the input
controls of the recorder.
E By setting the RECORDER selector to "1" (or "2"), you can monitor the recorded
sound (when using a recorder with three heads).
F Since the same signal is being output at the RECORDER 1 and RECORDER
2 jacks, recording can also be carried out on two recorders simultaneously.
Note:
When the RECORDER selector setting is changed to "SOURCE", the
monophonic setting will automatically be canceled. To record in monophonic
mode, press the MONO button again after using the RECORDER selector.
● Opening the unit involves a severe risk of electric shock.
● If the unit does not operate, the internal fuse may have blown. Never
attempt to replace the fuse yourself. Be sure to contact your Accuphase
dealer or an authorized service station.

B Use the INPUT SELECTOR to select the "CD" position.
C Operate the CD player and adjust the desired listening level with the VOLUME
control.
D If desired, set the MONO button to ON (monophonic operation) and check that
the sound is centered between the two speakers, and check the action of the
tone controls, loudness compensator, and attenuator.
Set the INPUT SELECTOR to the required position and perform the same steps
as described for CD playback. After tuning to the desired station, adjust the
listening level with the VOLUME control.
Dubbing
Because the E-350 provides a COPY selector, dubbing between two recorders
can be carried out, regardless of which program source is being reproduced.
However, dubbing is not possible while the E-350 is turned off.
For dubbing, perform the following steps.
A For dubbing from RECORDER 1 to RECORDER 2, set the COPY selector to
"1 2". For dubbing in the opposite direction, use the "2
B Set the source recorder to the playback mode and the target recorder to the
recording mode.
C If dubbing is carried out in the "1
to "RECORDER 1" causes the playback sound of the source recorder to be
reproduced. Setting the selector to "RECORDER 2" permits monitoring of the
recorded sound. During dubbing in the "2
Tuner recording while power is off
While power to the amplifi er is off, the signal from the TUNER inputs is always
connected to the RECORDER REC outputs, regardless of the INPUT SELECTOR
and the RECORDER and COPY selector settings. Therefore it is possible to carry
out unattended recording of the source connected to the tuner inputs with a timer
even without turning on the amplifi er.
Note:
Do not turn power to the E-350 on while unattended recording (with the E-350
in the power off condition) is in progress. If the input position of the E-350
has not been set to TUNER beforehand, recording will be interrupted at the
point where you turn the power on. Always verify fi rst that any unattended
recording has been completed.
