CONNECTION OF TURNTABLE
Two stereo turntables with magnetic phono cartridges can
be connected to the PHONO
1 and PNONO 2 inputs.
With both phono inputs, the upper terminal is for the
left channel output cable from the turntable, the lower
terminal for the right channel output cable. The ground
wire from the turntable should be connected to the GND
terminal on the SA-8100.
Outputs from a second turntable — or a second tonearm
on the same turntable — can be connected to the PHONO
2 inputs in the same manner. The inputs sensitivity of the
PHONO 2 inputs can be adjusted within a range of 2.5mV
~5mV by tuming the level control on the rear panel.
Thus, different phono cartridges can be accommodated.
Connect the "louder" of two phono cartridges to the
PHONO 2 inputs, the one producing lower signal output
to the PHONO
1 inputs. Then, by turing the level con-
trol the volume levels can be balanced.
CONNECTION OF TUNER
The outputs of an AM/FM stereo tuner can be connected
_ to the TUNER inputs with the supplied cable. Again, the
upper terminal is for the left channel, the Jower for the
right channel.
A second tuner can be connected to the AUX 1 or AUX 2
inputs.
CONNECTION OF TAPE DECKS
Two tape decks can be connected to the SA-8100 for
recording, playback, and tape-to-tape duplicating. The
necessary connection cords are usually supplied with the
tape deck.
Connections for recording
Connect
the tape deck's LINE
(or AUX
or RADIO)
inputs with the TAPE 1 REC
outputs of the SA-8100.
Upper terminal: left channel.
In the same way, a second tape deck can be connected to
the TAPE 2 REC outputs.
Connections for playback and monitoring
Connect the tape deck's LINE (or MONITOR)
outputs
with the TAPE
1 MON
inputs of the SA-8100. Upper
terminals: left channel,
In the same way, a second tape deck can be connected to
the TAPE 2 MON inputs.
Connection via REC/PB Connector
Please note that the REC/PB connector eerie
to
the TAPE
2 REC
and TAPE
2 MON
terminals — the
signal must be controlled with the TAPE MONITOR
2
switch on the front panel.
Also, in the case of a three-head tape deck, connection
via a DIN-cable
may sometimes cause crosstalk. With
three-head tape decks, connection to the REC outputs
and MON inputs via regular phono cables is preferable.
NOTE:
A moving coil (MC) cartridge of low output voltage can
be used only in combination
with a separate booster
transformer or head amplifier.
NOTE:
Instead of the recording and playback connections just
described, the tape deck can be linked to the REC/PB
connector of the SA-8100 if an identical connector is |
provided on the tape deck, too. The required DIN-cable
is available at all hi-fi and radio stores. This single cable
completes all playback and recording connections.
Be sure, the DIN-cable
is for between
tape deck to
amplifier.
