dm10 outputs

The balanced voltage outputs or current-
mode outputs are most
minimizing earth loop generated mains hum
and ripple, or high frequency interference if
these are a problem.
Power Amplifiers with current-mode inputs
are rare and are most likely to have an RCA
input socket. The advantages of this are:
• earth loop generated mains hum and
ripple are minimized
• cable, plug and socket-generated
interference are minimized (from poor
connections, which may be affected by
sound vibration for example).
The unbalanced voltage output is quite
satisfactory as long as earth loop generated
mains hum and ripple are not a problem.
(They should not be a problem unless the
source equipment is poorly designed.)

Connecting signal sources

As a safety precaution please ensure that the
unit is not connected to the mains power
while connecting signal sources.
When you initially receive your preamplifier all
the inputs are de-allocated.
If you are changing your signal source units,
de-allocate the input source first – see
allocating P ogram buttons r
Connect all signal source units (such as a CD
player) to the terminals (Fig 3, 7) at the rear of
the preamplifier, making a note of which input
each signal source unit is connected to.

Connecting home theater
processor
As a safety precaution please ensure that the
unit is not connected to the mains power
while connecting a Home Theater Processor
(HTP).
Connect your HTP
programmable inputs at the rear of the
preamplifier.
Program the preamplifier to the unit, using
Source setup
on page 20. (We recommend
you use the DVD function.)
To set the preamplifier to operate with zero
gain, adjust both volume channels to 0.0 dB.
The preamplifier will then have no effect on
the volume. You will now be able to control
the volume of your system by using your HTP
volume control.
