CONNECTING MAINS POWER

Please refer to the front & rear panel view on Page 3. The moulded IE connector or the supplied mains lead should be
plugged into socket (27)
The mains power switch
the amplifier is likely to be unattended for a long period of time, switch it off and unplug the mains lead from the wall.

SIGNAL CONNECTIONS

There are 6 Inputs (18 -24)
level and will accept virtually all currently available source components. The PHONO input is factory set for Moving
Magnet Cartridges to accomodate record players fitted with MM phono cartridges. The AV input
BYPASS input (18) and switch to set BYPASS, then the AV input will be deactivated and the BYPASS input will become
activated. In this mode, the BYPASS input can be used to a surround sound processor's front L & R pre output for home
theatre use. The BYPASS input is directly connected to the power amp section and bypasses the preamp. The volume
is then controlled via the surround sound processor and not the Kandy integrated. You could also use the integrated as
a power amp in this mode.
All the inputs use Gold plated RCA Phono Connectors and should be connected according to the standard convention.
Also in accordance with standard practice, the Upper row of Phono Sockets carries the Left Channel and the Lower row
carries the Right Channel.
The input sockets are labelled with their legends upside down as well as the normal way up to assist you should you be
connecting an input from a position in front of and above the amplifier.

MC Input Connection

If you wish to use a Moving Coil Cartridge, an in-line MC step-up transformer should be connected to the Phono Input.
Alternatively a dedicated Phono Stage can be connected to a line level input.
(NOTE: if you wish to connect to the Phono input, it must be set for line level signal. See above). For advice and
demonstration of ROKSAN state of the art turntable reproduction systems contact your authorised retailer.

LOUDSPEAKER CONNECTIONS

The right and left loudspeakers are connected to the amplifier via the rear panel binding posts
There are two basic types of cable -
• Figure 8 cable has two insulated conductors which lie parellel, either side by side, or spaced by insulation.
• Over all sheathed cable
Carefully remove any over all sheath or split the figure 8 cable to a depth of about 75mm (3"). Carefully strip the
insulation on each wire to a depth of about 12 mm (1/2") exposing the bare core. If the conductor is stranded, twist the
strands together on each conductor.
Unscrew the binding post. There is a cross-hole about 5 mm from the panel end of the binding post. Insert the bared
conductor through the hole and tighten the binding post securely making sure that there are no loose strands or bare
ends protruding through the post. Carefully observe polarity ensuring that the RED(+) speaker terminal is connencted to
the RED(+) amplifier terminal and the BLACK(-) speaker terminal to the BLACK(-) amplifier terminal. When both left and
right channels are connected to the irrespective speaker's the amplifier is ready for use.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
quality cable such as
speaker cables such as the ROKSAN HDC-03S are directional. Please observe this
characteristic. DO NOT use a speaker cable with conductor size less than 16 AWG
(1.6mm Diameter). The binding posts accept conductor sizes upto 12 AWG.
