lead should be plugged into the socket (13) on the rear of the unit first and then plugged into the mains supply.
The Mains power switch (15) is on the front underside of the Integrated Amplifier. This switch can be left on; if
however the amplifier is likely to be unattended for a long period, switch it off and unplug the mains lead from the
wall.

Signal Input connections:
Input (3). Except for the PHONO input (5), all other inputs are line level and will accept virtually all currently
available source components. The PHONO input is factory set for Moving Magnet Cartridges to accommodate
record players fitted with MM phono cartridges. The VIDEO input (8) is linked to the BYPASS input (2) and
Switch (17). When the Bypass Switch is set to VIDEO, then the VIDEO input will function as a line level input.
When the switch is set to BYPASS, then the VIDEO input will be deactivated and the BYPASS input will become
activated. In this mode, the BYPASS input can be used for connection to a suround 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 – Right Channel – Red; Left Channel – Black or White.
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 labeled 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 Connections:
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.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
For optimum performance it is recommended to use high quality inter-connect cables such
as ROKSAN HDC-02A High Definition Analogue Cable.
LOUDSPEAKER CONNECTIONS
The right and left loudspeakers are connected to the amplifier via the rear panel binding posts (11) and (12)
respectively. There are two basic types of cable –
•
Figure 8 cable has two insulated conductors which lie parallel, either side by side, or spaced by insulation.
•
Overall sheathed cable has both conductors insulated and enclosed in an overall
plastic sheath.
Carefully remove any overall 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 12mm (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 5mm 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 connected to the
RED (+) amplifier terminal and the BLACK (-) speaker terminal to the BLACK (-) amplifier
terminal. When both left and right channels are connected to their respective speakers the
amplifier is ready for use.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
For optimum performance it is recommended to use high quality cables such as ROKSAN
HDC-02S High Definition Loudspeaker Cable. Many speaker cables such as the ROKSAN HDC-02S 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 up to 12 AWG.
