Before Connecting
Before connecting other devices, connect the accessory
power cable to the AC inlet of this CL-38uSE control am-
plifire.
When connecting, turn off the power supply of this unit and
the power supplies of auxiliary devices to prevent unex-
pected accidents that may be caused by noise.
How to connect power supply
Use the accessory power cable and insert the AC plug in
the outlet on the wall in the room where the unit is installed.
How to connect a CD player, SACD player,
tuner, or other devices
Connect the output terminal of a device such as a CD player
and the line input terminals (CD, LINE-1, LINE-2, or LINE-3)
of the CL-38uSE control amplifier with 2 (R and L) pin-plug
cables.
For LINE-1, LINE-2, and LINE-3 input terminals, connection
in the same fashion as the CD input terminal provides the
same playback.

How to connect an analog player
Connect the output terminal of the analog player and the
PHONO terminals of this unit with 2 (R and L) pin-plug ca-
bles.
For some types of players, the ground wire from the phono
motor or the tone arm should be connected to the ground
terminal of this unit.
The phono equalizer section of this unit supports both the
MM (moving magnet) type cartridge and MC (moving coil)
type cartridge. Select the position of the cartridge selector
according to the type of the cartridge to be used. There are
low and high positions for MC. Select the position of the
impedance closest to the value of the cartridge to be used.

The output from an analog player equipped with a phono
equalizer or from an independent phono equalizer shall be
connected to the line input terminals of this unit.
* During playback using an analog player, hum noises (boon
noise) may be generated regardless of the sound of the
record. Most of the time, the noise gets mixed from the
tone arm section of the record player. Check the installed
position of the record player and rearrange the cabling
route if required.
Extra caution is required for the MC cartridge, since the
output voltage is low.
* If the sound of the alalog player is distorted, it is likely that
the appropriate stylus pressure is not applied to the car-
tridge. Make adjustment referring to the operating instruc-
tions of the record player and the cartridge.
If the player is equipped with an anti-skating function, its
adjustment is also required.
* The sound may distorted due to dust adhered to the sty-
lus.
In such a case, clean the stylus carefully with an available
cleaner.
