1. Connections
Make the appropriate connections for your system,
substituting your own equipment as necessary for the
equipment shown here.
The diagram below shows a basic example of connec-
tions when using the D12 to record.
For details on installing the CDRW-1 CD-R/RW
drive option, refer to p.133.
Be sure that the power is turned off while you are
making connections. If the power is on while con-
nections are being made, your speaker system may
be damaged, or other malfunctions may occur.
1 Connect the included AC/AC power supply.
Connect the AC/AC power supply to the AC/AC
power supply connector of the D12. Then plug the
other end into an AC outlet.

Use RCA phono cables to connect a powered moni-
tor system etc. to the [MONITOR OUT L/R] jacks.
